Ukraine bioweapon disclaim revisited amid ongoing war commentary

Original: Remember early in the # UkraineWar the fever swamp # disinformation that # Ukraine has # bioweapon laboratories? (Cue Uk

Commentators are recalling the early-war disinformation claim that Ukraine operated secret bioweapon laboratories, dismissing it as baseless propaganda. The argument being made is that such accusations are a form of projection, with authoritarian movements accusing others of their own intentions — a pattern the poster says is also visible in US politics around Donald Trump. The thread mixes mockery of the bioweapon narrative with broader warnings about fascist rhetoric.

Why now: The ongoing war keeps old pro-Russian disinformation narratives relevant, and people are re-examining them as examples of propaganda tactics.
