Putin the Terrible Revives Cold War Bioweapons center

What else is new when it comes to former KGB agent Putin the Terrible!

"New construction at a military research site near Moscow shows signs of being a specialized laboratory complex designed to handle extremely dangerous pathogens, say U.S. intelligence officials.

The past: The site, Sergiev Posad-6, was a major biological weapons research center that conducted experiments during the Cold War on the viruses that cause smallpox, Ebola, and hemorrhagic fevers. 

The present: Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, satellite imagery revealed expansions of the facility, including new biological labs, which have continued.
Russian officials have said the labs will be used to strengthen the country’s defenses against pandemics and bioterrorism—the same justification the Soviet Union used to expand its bioweapons program in the 1970s and 1980s."
