Sunday Uncensored: Ian Smith Member Podcast: Viral tweet Alleges Russia Blowing Up US BioLabs In Ukraine
Episode Recap
In this February 27, 2022 episode of Timcast IRL, Tim Pool and co-host Ian Crossland discussed the viral claim that Russia was specifically targeting U.S. biolaboratories in Ukraine during the ongoing military operation. The conversation centered on a Twitter post by user @warcandestine that allegedly mapped the locations of U.S. biolabs in Ukraine and suggested Russian attacks coincided with these sites. Tim expressed skepticism about the specific claim but criticized Snopes for dismissing the story as Russian propaganda, arguing that the fact-checking organization frequently lies. The discussion evolved into a broader analysis of COVID-19 origins, with Tim highlighting a study suggesting a one-in-three-trillion chance that a specific Moderna DNA sequence appeared naturally in the virus, leading to speculation about lab manipulation. Tim and Ian debated Putin's motivations for the invasion and explored the narrative of Putin fighting the deep state or globalists, though Tim maintained he wasn't drawing definitive conclusions. The episode featured criticism of Twitter's blue check community for automatically framing anything pro-Russian as propaganda.
