How should RUSSIA prepare to fight against Bio Terrorism?

Bio Terrorism is real. In the last 25 years anthrax has been used against civilians. Sarin gas was used to attack Tokyo subway.

It is also quite clear that COVID19 is also a Bio weapon. France, under a 2004 accord, helped to set up China's first P4 lab in Wuhan. And the US funded dangerous research there on manipulating bat corona viruses despite risk of an accidental release triggering a pandemic. Now the chickens have come home to roost.

How should Russia prepare against such acts of Bio terrorism given that the West considers Russia to be its Number 1 enemy and will certainly back such bio attacks against innocent Russians on Russian soil?

Irrespective of the source of disease, it is clear that new virus diseases do occur and spread. Causing pandemics. But vaccines have traditionally not been entirely successful against eradicating them completely. Apart from smallpox. The flu is prime example. Every season new strain causes death and misery.

Even with new sciences of genetic engineering, developing effective defence against them is slow. The biological route to fighting this disease should not be the only route. Recently I saw a TV programme, that explained injecting nano machines into human body. To repair damaged blood vessels by removing plaque. Therefore these nano machines should have ability on cell level to distinguish between different cells. If these could be built, so that they could attack other foreign bodies or all foreign bodies from human body. Then No bacteria or virus could attack humans. This is engineering route.!


It can be a cure for all cancers. Replace need for some surgery. Mend broken bones in no time. Nano bots........

I love the irony of talking about nanites to protect us from things, because with the flick of a switch they could just as easily kill us too.

x2. That's why I think Russian Homeland Security should prepare strategies to protect Russians from Bio Terrorism. US, UK are two likely candidates that can target Russian citizens with Bio weapons.

Supposedly the main thing that stopped the widespread use of chem and bio weapons during WWII was the fear that the enemy might have better or more effective weapons....

I suspect the best defence is a great attack and enough knowledge to defend successfully most attacks...

Notice US PPE gear is produced in China, while Russian PPE gear is made in Russia... there is no reason the Russian gear couldn't be made in China, but when you are closing your borders it is handy to have such things produced locally...

If it was a bio weapon it has clearly backfired for everyone...

There are several ways that Russia can prepare for biowarfare.

Several ways are:


I think the number one thing is to have a strong attack, this will make countries think twice before attacking Russia. Russia needs to have a very strong bio program, where if Russia is attacked with bio weapons, Russia can respond to the attacking nation with the bio weapons. If you want peace, prepare for war.

I think the second most important thing is to have young people in colleges and university's studying to become doctors, experts in all kinds of health related issues, nurses and support staff. If Russia has young people going to colleges and university's studying all those things, than you have doctors, experts, nurses that are graduating every year and Russia has a good pool of educated young people joining the workforce.    

Russia should spend a lot to study bio weapons and have companies that respond to it if needed. Have companies inside Russia studying and making vaccines(Russia should work to get 3-4 companies working and studying making vaccines, when you multiple companies, companies can share knowledge), have companies inside Russia making protective equipment for use, gloves, masks, hand sanitizer  and other medical related equipment(even the most advanced medical equipment), this all needs to be done in Russia.)

Russia should work to upgrade it's health care system, modernize the hospitals, renovate older hospitals and get them up to date with the modern hospitals. Russia should work hard to improve the numbers of hospitals and hospital beds and try to get medical care to Russians all over the country, Russians in every corner of the country need to have access to medical care if needed.

Russia is blessed with a big country and with a big country  comes big responsibilities. Russia needs to have programs where doctors in rural parts of Russia can talk face to face on computers with experts from other parts of the country or anywhere from the world. Russia also needs to have mobile services and the facilities ready to go in other parts of the country, where doctors, experts and equipment can be moved in hours if needed.

Russia needs to have tv programs in place that can educate citizens about the viruses or diseases in Russia and around the world. The citizens can than have a good knowledge on how to deal with viruses and diseases that may come. These tv programs need to be 100% accurate and no BS.

Most of these things are happening and there are some thing I did not mention need to happen but Russia has to be ready for biowarfare because that is where the US and NATO is headed. Russia needs to be ready.

It would benefit Russia to make its people as healthy as they possibly can so research into cures and dealing with diseases but with the focus being on cures rather than just treatments is in the interests of Russia and all Russians.

Someone being treated cannot offer their full potential and contribution, whereas someone cured becomes a much more productive member of society... cures are harder than treatments but also more useful to society.

Some people might suggest that a virus that kills off all the old people is a great economy measure, but in different cultures the elderly have different functions... in the west they provide their house, whose sale helps the children pay off part of their student loans, as well as paying their expensive care bills in the home you send them to to die. In many other countries grandparents are free child care, and a roof over your head while you try to find a house you can afford...

Investment in healthcare should include improvements in the quality of life for everyone to help them enjoy life and to contribute...
