This is not an answer to either of my questions. So I’m going to assume the latter.

They got fairly good tracking from mobile phones

They being China’s communis party who in no way, shape or form are willing to participate in any investigation that could potentially place the origin of COVID within China’s borders.

You have anything substantial to add? Or just vomiting on the screen?

Lab leaks/accidents are fairly common. This didn’t require some malicious intent or a “perfect storm” of events to occur. There are like 1 or 2 every year, that we know of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laboratory_biosecurity_incidents

A study investigated and saw the following from 2000 to 2021 (https://www.chathamhouse.org/laboratory-accidents-and-biocontainment-breaches/scale-problem-today):

“… identified laboratory-acquired infections in 309 individuals, documented in 94 incident reports covering 51 pathogens of varying degrees of hazard. Some of these infections were fatal, and some resulted in the spread of laboratory workers’ infections to others in the community. In addition, the researchers identified 16 incidents of pathogen escape from biocontainment facilities during the period.”

And that’s not even including all the smaller incidents which adds up to about a hundred a year.

So a lab leak is not only plausible, it’s very likely. It requires no malice or conspiracy. And Wuhan actually has a lab that was studying the COVID virus. The communist party however has already covered up, so actual evidence is hard to get.

I think the keyword here is “Waffen-SS” not “Latvian”. Fascists and racists come in all nationalities. The Dutch really hate nazis, but a sizeable portion of the population aided in the holocaust regardless.

It deters new customers. If a particular brand of car has a target painted on it. Either for ridicule, vandalism or destruction. Who is going to want a car like that? Besides, in terms of quality Tesla has been long surpassed by the incumbents anyway.

You’re not making a lot of sense. So I see no point in talking any further.

after some years plenty believed it had to do with WMD’s

No, it was very clear it was to get Iraq out of Kuwait after it invaded. Iraq wanted to gain more regional dominance and add Kuwait’s oil reserves to it’s own economy after the costly Iran-Iraq war.

you Canadians

Also not Canadian, the world is a big place

I think you need to brush up on your history. And who is “you”? I’m not even American my friend.

Hasn’t won any wars with unlimited objectives. Where there is no clear end goal, because regime change and installing a friendly government isn’t really clear and actionable.

The first Gulf War had limited objectives, was a massive success and took only 6 months.

The Talos Principle A community who share book tips on existential philosophy and the meaning of life. A theme in the game.

Nothing touches my library that wasn’t discounted 60% or more. I’ll see you on the Christmas of 2030 Ghosts of Tsushima!

Hardly surprising considering the current funding climate and anti-intellectual sentiment of the current American administration. He will probably get an amazing salary and support to work on his project. Canada and Europe should set up something similar, easy visas and citizenship for American scientists and engineers.
