I'm going to do some thinking out loud here. TLDR in green at the bottom.
Credibility. This article is out of TASS (a Russian-controlled media) meaning that surely, it has been vetted and approved by the Kremlin directly or indirectly. We have to remember that any time we're dealing with a state-controlled media, we've got a bias. That doesn't mean the facts are wrong, but it does mean we need to look for omissions and question conclusions.
The source is named (Good). More importantly, this is General Kirilov, who is the commander of their biological, chemical, and nuclear weapon service. His words make this effectively the formal position of the Russian government. They're speaking openly and directly, and putting as much authority as they can behind the message. This isn't a "leak" from "anonymous sources."
They specifically name names.
Kenneth Myers, former DTRA Director
Tara O'Toole, Exec VP of In-Q-Tel (a CIA-controlled venture fund)
Tom Frieden, Obama's Director of the CDC
Francis Collins, Obama's Director of NIH
Jeffrey Wadsworth, former Exec Director of the Battelle Memorial Institute
and multiple figures associated with the Pfizer corporation
Given that most of these DTRA labs were created and made operational during the Obama years, this list includes people who would be viable candidates for those leadership positions: proven executive experience, relevant experience in medical research, deep connections to the Democrat party and believers in the liberal, globalist project.
None of the rest of the article is new. That stuff has been known since April 2022. It is the same song Russia has been singing since the start of this conflict. It is the same story they attempted to tell at the UN, but which was ignored by western media and dismissed as "Russian disinformation." This, naturally, muddies the waters, and makes us question what is true and what is not.
The DoD maintains that nothing they were doing was offensive in nature or would violate international biological weapons bans. My question, then, is why is DoD using the DoD budget to do research that is civilian in nature and should have been done by NIH? Answer: civilian research funded by the taxpayer has to be made public. We get to see it. But if you're working on pathogens that are easily weaponized or working on various delivery systems, you don't want that made public. Using the DoD budget allows you to hide it. Whatever they were doing, it wasn't civilian research. It wasn't innocuous.
I think the Hunter Biden laptop is critical here. It has been widely speculated that there is evidence on that laptop showing that Hunter's Rosement-Seneca firm was providing financing for a company called Metabiota which ran the day-to-day operations of these 46 labs in Ukraine for the DoD. Whatever they were doing, Hunter Biden is neck deep in it, and so is Joe. Recall that the Ukrainians were investigating Hunter Biden for corruption in 2016 when Joe Biden specifically demanded that the investigation be stopped and the AG running it be fired. Joe Biden specifically and personally intervened to keep Hunter's business dealings quiet. Using US foreign aid as leverage, he got the AG fired that day. Was this what was under investigation? I think the laptop has such evidence.
If this were true, the point is that Joe Biden and his son were overseeing a massive biological weapons development program in Ukraine during the Obama years in violation of several international treaties banning such research. However, we do not yet have physical evidence of that publicly.
