You’d be wrong.

Despite international snickering, the Kremlin regime keeps promoting crackpot nonsense about Ukraine (in conspiracy with the United States, of course) genetically developing animals and insects as "biological weapons" against Mother Russia.

This time, ticks and head lice have been added to the previously mentioned birds, mosquitoes and locusts, according to a far-fetched report sent to all parliaments in the world by head of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, Valentina Matvienko.

The report claims that development of these "bioweapons" started when Uncle Sam tried to introduce viruses into Soviet crops during the Second World War – when the two nations were actually allies, fighting Nazi Germany.

"Naturally, this type of weapon could be unleashed on humans and animals," note the report's authors.
