    Fun fact, everyone already knew about those labs. They were built by the Soviets, and the US was invited in to help convert them to civilian use.

    This has all been public for decades.

      The release from Gabbard covers 30 countries. Some of the Ukrainian sites were former Soviet labs. Some were not. All of them, it turns out, were housing deadly and dangerous agents, the extent of which was classified, and some were engaged in gain-of-function research on highly dangerous pathogens with no oversight. That’s what we call a bioweapon skunksworks.

        Tulsi Gabbard is repeating Russian lies. All of these biolabs were openly listed on various government websites, and most of them were working on civilian stuff, like tracking the yearly flu virus and crime scene DNA sequencing.

        They all had oversight from the US and their host country, along with the occasional UN team.

        Again, Tulsi Gabbard is not a trustworthy source for anything.
