>be USSR>start a bioweapons program>start pumping out barrels of anthrax on an island in the aral sea>the sea dries up>the state collapses>leave those barrels rotting in the open until the Americans go in and sterilise the entire place by spraying the entire area down with bleach>nobody tries to step foot there again Why is Russia so incompetent when it comes to dangerous substances and making sure they don't leak? This shit happened at Mayak, it happened at Aralsk, and by the latest news it seems to be happening again.
>>65043462Out of sight out of mind was the slogan of the state. With everything. Even people.
>>65043462>Why is Russia so incompetent when it comes to dangerous substances and making sure they don't leak?they dont give a fuck. Same thing with radioactive substances. Its a homosexual death cult that its owner, the czar, can use like cattle
>>65043462>by the latest news it seems to be happening again.what latest news ?
>>65043462I'm sure Russian cultural norms played a part in it, but plenty of nasty shit would go down if the US went through similar circumstances. Shit Lyme disease almost certainly breached containment from the bioweapons facility off the coast of New York (lol) during eminently stable peacetime
>>65043578>Lyme disease almost certainly breached containmentAre you actually retarded or saying this as a joke? Lyme disease has been around for like five thousand years and we have exact pathogenic descriptions matching lyme disease from hundreds of years ago, AND preserved ticks and mice with the bacteria in their bodies from the 1800s. You have to be baiting or something with this.
>>65043662>Lyme disease has been around for like five thousand yearsSo has anthrax, so I guess that's not a bioweapon either.
>>65043529AFAIK Russian state is destroying thousands of cattle in Siberia and not paying farmers compensation. They're not publicly saying why though, so it could be anything from foot and mouth to bovine tuberculosis to an accidental release of Turbo Moo AIDS they developed in a lab.Given Russia, whatever it is is probably circulating freely in their meat supply.
>>65043665Nigger if something escaped containment it must first BE contained, if the continent crawls with lyme for thousands of years before anything happens it doesn't breach containment.That's entirely setting aside that you're claiming it to be a bioweapon with nothing to support you and an undoubtedly nebulous definition to begin with.
>>65043667Their biowarfare program hasn't been active for decades. And this isn't a case where they're denying it but still doing it. It's extremely resource-intensive and their WMD propaganda is better served by the nuclear program.>>65043578You are so fucking retarded it's not even funny
>>65043667Afaik that's just a meat market monopolisation on behalf of Miratorg.
>>65043578Lyme disease no, CWD was introduced into the wild from research on BSE at some university.
>>65043670Don't forget that a tickborne spirochete that is susceptible to basic bitch 1st gen cephalosporins and doxycycline is about as far from a bioengineered superweapon as a systemic bacterial infection can be
>>65043676Their screeching about "HATO Polish biolabs with black mosquitos raping the civilians" is the only proof you need that their bioweapon program is active (and failing)
>>65043687No you mongoloid retard. They lost essentially their entire institutional virology and microbiology knowledge to the West in the 90s. They have invested in no new facilities and have no signs of government-sponsored pathogen research.The russians throwing a hundred darts at the wall to see which ones stick does not constitute a projection of guilt. The stupid biolab thing was just one of many nonsensical excuses from the Firehose of Falsehood.
>>65043667>>65043681The Chinese have also started culling cattle on the border, so something's definitely spreading. Whether or not it's a lab leak or just an unlucky vaccine resistant strain remains to be seen.https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/china-tightens-border-controls-culls-cattle-amid-foot-and-mouth-outbreak-2026-04-03/
>>65043462They did the same thing with their aging nuclear submarine fleet.Great piece by popular mechanics:https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/navy-ships/a34976195/russias-nuclear-submarine-graveyard/>it's actually readable>checks date>oh, from 5 years ago
>>65043462>Be USSR>ruin nuclear energy for the human race Funny how Fukushima and Three Mile Island had a combined death toll of fucking ONE. Meanwhile these retards were popping off Kyshtym and Chernobyl like it was going out of style
>>65043578>>65043665You're fucking dumb.
>>65044166It just keeps happening
>>65044382jesus christ
>>65044130>In October of 1995, 12 decommissioned Soviet subs awaited disposal in Murmansk, each with fuel cells, reactors, and nuclear waste still aboard. When the cash-strapped Russian military didn’t pay the base’s electric bills for months, the local power company shut off power to the base, leaving the line of submarines at risk of meltdown. Military staffers had to persuade plant workers to restore power by threatening them at gunpoint. lmao
>>65044382>Sodium Reactor Experiment in a submarine without realisingHoly shit, QRD?
>>65043662>what is wildtype vs engineered>swiss spirochaete biomarkers just show up in NA because ???>>65043670It's insane to be such a proud newfag you've never heard of plum island or willy burgdorfer. Google it you fag I'm not spoonfeeding you>>65043676>no argument Imagine getting emotional over this like a baby and being unable to articulate anything lol>>65043684The deathbed confession from the guy who discovered it, evolutionary genomics, and obvious temporal circumstances say otherwise. I have no opinion on the prion. >>65043686>susceptible to basic bitch 1st gen cephalosporins and doxycyclineWay to out yourself as knowing nothing about this topic. B. Burgdorferi is notoriously treatment resistant once established, as the pathogens sequester away in nerve tissues and spinal fluid. Behavior it was selected for in a lab. All bacterial bioweapons are susceptible to antibiotics btw you actual genuine moron. It appears I'm getting flak for implying the US would ever handle bioweapons improperly (lol) in what is apparently yet another Russian hate thread instead of a bioweapons discussion, but it is well known both US and Soviet bioweapons programs preferred to work with pathogens that required intermediate organisms as they were easier to control and cull than other more volatile and unpredictable formats. Lyme was envisioned basically as a fatigue bomb you could drop on rear lines and ennervate whole formations to reduce their capabilities, a much more realistic and controllable goal than what the Soviets were doing with tularemia at the same time, which is why it was one of the longest running (known) programs at plum island. Obviously this is all very discrete by nature but the program predates the treaty and yet is almost certainly still being worked on in the name of biodefense. But uh, fuck the Russian animals back behind the urals
>SAR! SAR! YOU ARENT ALLOWED TO JOKE ABOUT THE RUSSIA! >WHAT ABTOU THE USA! USA TOPIC NOW! USA BAD! USA FAULT!>I WILL DEBATE EVERYTHING YOU SAY! YOU INSULTED RUSSIA, YOU MUST SUFFER NOW!Every fucking time.
>>65043462>Why is Russia so incompetent when it comes to dangerous substances and making sure they don't leak?You have to bear in mind that they industrialized at a breakneck pace from literal serfdom.Most people in the USSR viewed technology and (heavy) industry as something akin to a miracle that pulled them out of the life of trying to get enough firewood and calories stockpiled for winter into the life of merely grumbling about there not being enough meat at the store or having to get on a waiting list for a car, all over the course of 1-2 generations.This has resulted in an incredibly callous approach to any danger that could stem from it, and in most Soviets seeing anyone trying to warn them against the flipside of industrialization and the effects of pollution (which they previously had essentially zero experience with) as a luddite and reactionary at best, and an enemy agent trying to set back their progress at worst.They exported this attitude to all of its satellites, as well."The smoke stacks keep fuming, the Sun squints its eyes.""Go ahead, squint - if they didn't fume, we'd be worse off!"
>>65044885They also put a lot of effort into putting the worst shit in Kazakhstan, far away from Muscovite eyes.
>>65044824I dont care about russia. The title of this thread is >bioweaponsWould you like to make an on topic post?
>>65044959>SAR PLEASE IGNORE HOW I TRIED TO FLIP THIS TO US FROM RUSSIA! YOU WILL NOTICE NOTHING!>ALSO I ONLY TALK ON TOPIC! TOPIC IS US BAD! IT SAYS SO IN OP!Just get a new script, it's fucking pathetic, you neutroller clown.
>>65044382>Andreev bay>We had to remove the skin on heels and partly on our hands with razors until they bled, since these areas resisted decontamination.Jesus, say what you will about their incompetence but the regular workers were nails.
>>65044959yeah sure, buddy. it's kinda telling how often someone makes a mild joke on or critizes russia and then a bit later you get some dishonest odd poster that has to reply to everyone with the most disingenious shit to shut it down ala >>65044516totally normal behavior, doesnt happen with any other nation to that degree but keep talking buddy nobody buys that shit anymorewell maybe retards or newfags
>>65043676>Their biowarfare program hasn't been active for decades.On the contrary it saw a major modernization program and expansion in 2022 and has been reported in russian press.
>>65044437I think he's mentioning the incident on K-27. Basically some coolant tubes inside the reactor got plugged thus causing reduced energy output (down to 7%). The captain, afraid of possible reprimand if he backs out of military exercise, demands more power so reactor crew pulled the control rods out causing the reactor to eventually meltdown inside thanks to plugged coolant lines.https://whatisnuclear.com/safety-minutes/soviet-sub-k-27-core-melt.html
>>65045016>>65045045I merely commented on how I wasn't expecting a thread about bioweapons to just be shitposting about muh ebul puccia and you two morons are convinced its a shill operation. My posts are entirely about biological warfare and you are just looking to seethe over your faggot bully state. Kill yourselves if you won't post about the thread topic
>>65045490First I've heard of this. Care to share a link?
