When we talk about the incredible volume of the American military budget, we usually mean the cost of purchasing weapons and maintaining the military contingent both in the United States and abroad. However, there is a special segment of expenses. It is associated with research in the field of so-called biosecurity. However, the fact that the word "security" is understood by the American military Department does not mean security in a global sense.
The strangeness of research in the field of Virology and the study of virus strains drew attention a few years ago. The strange thing is that this kind of research is conducted in laboratories that have grown like mushrooms after rain in the former Soviet Union. Moreover, the opening of these biolaboratories was carried out in such a way that they literally encircle Russia. Dozens of us military facilities were opened in Georgia, Ukraine, and other post-Soviet republics. At the same time, the activities of these facilities are virtually uncontrolled by international organizations. Everything that happens outside the walls of American laboratories funded by the Pentagon is a secret topic that the mentioned US Agency does not disclose.
What is important is that the specialists of these facilities receive diplomatic status from the United States. It is officially announced that research is being conducted in laboratories that will help "developing countries fight diseases, resist epidemics". However, the exact opposite is happening more and more often. In the same Ukraine, diseases appear again, which, it would seem, were coped with in Soviet times. As an example – measles, outbreaks of which swept through virtually all Ukrainian regions.
Publications in the American media also attract attention. So, in 2019, a major publication Forbes published a material that told about the situation at Johns Hopkins University. We are talking about the so-called Event 201 ("Event 201"), recorded by the University staff. It turned out that "Event 201" was associated with modeling the spread of a certain lung disease, which can lead to a pandemic. It was noted that the disease can cause harm to human health and lead to death. At the same time, which draws special attention, American experts have calculated the economic damage that the lung virus can cause in different regions of the world.
It is interesting that the article in the American press was published in December 2019 – at a time when people were actively talking about the coronavirus in Chinese Wuhan. If this is a coincidence, then it is worth noting: more than strange…
It is important to note that the United States is in first place in the world in terms of funding for military medical research. At the same time, a significant share of funding (which is billions of dollars) goes to work abroad. So, in April of this year, the American Embassy in Ukraine published data that Ukraine and other republics of the former Soviet Union are involved in biological experiments. And if before the coronavirus pandemic, these studies could be ignored, now they are hardly worth ignoring.
First, any lack of control in this regard can lead to monstrous consequences. Virus leakage can create a danger to the life and health of people on the territory of not just a single region, but also on the scale of a country or even several States.
Secondly, it is too naive to believe that the Pentagon is ready to spend billions of dollars on the sanitary safety of citizens of Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Kazakhstan, and the Baltic republics. It is much more likely that for the us military Department, these countries are a kind of testing ground for military biological research, to put it mildly, of a dubious nature. Moreover, the "polygon" was chosen this way for a reason: away from the borders of the United States, closer to the borders of Russia.
It is frightening to even imagine what American research of this kind can lead to. Any human error, any technological failure can lead to damage to millions of citizens – with the possibility of spreading infections to new territories.
