Maybe. However those labs being run by the military makes them all kinds of sus, I mean if they're just studying pathogen wouldn't it makes more sense to be under CDC? Moreover their studies should be open to peer review in that case

The way the western media has treated these Ukrainian neo-nazis is bizarre. It's not like in Syria where they went along with the US government narrative that there were "moderate rebels", even as they were beheading people and eating their hearts.
They aren't supporting or condemning them, they're just pretending they don't exist. They're not even saying "okay, they're nazis, but at least they're fighting the Russians", or "Ukrainian nazis don't hate jews that much" like everyone on twitter and reddit is saying.
In fact since the war started I've not seen a single western source mentioning anything about their presence. It's like if Mexico invaded America because white supremacists had taken over, and then no news station reports the fact there are KKK members wandering around everywhere.
Are they just waiting to see how the war goes before deciding whether they're good or bad?
In the US and maybe Canada, the reason is that the neo-Nazi’s are considered to be a symbol of white supremacy, which is still considered to be alive and well in different ways by “non-whites”. Considering the fact that they have a lot of “non-white” people, imagine what would happen if the US did exactly what you said. There would be a huge uproar that could quickly spire out of control. Those Syrian rebels don’t pose such a threat to the social fabric of the US, and the Middle East is generally viewed as a place of religious zealots. Contrary to popular belief, the US is very sensitive to race when compared to the Europeans.
For the Europeans, I guess the trauma caused by World War 2 is still there. Any mention of Nazism or neo-Nazis would most likely brings back bad memories of the past.

Could be, but pathogens and biological specimens can be transported anywhere in the world.
The salary of a Ukrainian microbiologist vs an American one is the most likely reason. I imagine a military contract for research was given to a company who subcontracted it to the Ukraine.
Maybe not be entirely conqured but Russia has been defeated in the past, like 1918.
Yes, Germany and allies won, Russia lost.

I think I heard a Russian missile researcher say the sensor in Javelin is way too expensive and finicky to use in the field. I think it needs cryo-cooling. Once the cryogenic gas leaks out you need to refurbish the whole unit.
I doubt S-400 would help against Kh-101. The Ukrainians lack the remaining components of the system. The S-400 is part of the IADS but alone is kind of vulnerable.
I am kind of surprised I have not seen 2S7M Malka in use yet. It would allow the Russians to hit Kiev from outside most Ukrainian artillery range. The Russians refurbished quite a few of those some years back.
It is kind of pointless to capture Moscow alone. Moscow is more of a trade nexus than an industrial hub.
Your explanation would makes sense if they only have those labs in Ukraine, but no, 300 plus all over the world.....
otoh, it can be argued that they don't want to transport dangerous samples over long distances
Kind of why I didn't phase it at the Ukrainian civilians who would be most likely suffering from their deployment.
More so aimed at if these mercs end up being prison guards for any western mercs taken prisoner by the Russians. You know the part about not having the same rights as POW under Geneva convention.
That may be a reason for why the US government may want to ignore it, but not all news stations and reporters. Unless you believe that they're all controlled by the government? It's not like it's an unrelated matter, it is the main reason Russia uses to justify it's invasion.
I wonder what the plan is going to be when Russia takes more cities and starts pulling down statues of nazi collaborators? Are they going to pretend it's not happening?
Yuan is not taking over USD in Saudi Oil trading in the near future, but it certainly is going to replace USD or EURO in Russian oil trade very soon, and in near future Iranian oil as well and more.
A person's confidence of his own weight at the moment of standing on the scale is useless and meaningless, because what confidence really matter are 1. the future and 2. elsewhere/others.
