US pushes fabricated claims of Russian hacking of virus research

{For various reasons, including uncomfortable questions the Twitter attack raises about the ability of the technology companies to manipulate user accounts, the Times gives short shrift to this massive hack, only to concentrate on another one alleged to have occurred against no specific target and at no specific time. The article on the alleged Russian hacking does not even mention the Twitter hack, because to do so would invite the obvious conclusion that it does not take a nation-state to carry out a successful cyber-attack.}

{The United States is most nakedly pursuing a nationalistic course, aimed at enriching American oligarchs and deploying the vaccine not as a means to save lives, but as a weapon against countries in the crosshairs of US imperialism. These include, in the first instance, China and Russia, but also Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, Cuba and others. The American ruling elite intends, moreover, to use a vaccine to gain leverage against its European “allies,” particularly Germany.

Washington will withhold the vaccine from countries deemed impediments to its drive for global hegemony and reward those that fall into line behind its plans for war and conquest with access to the lifesaving drug.}

Well the regular members here should know that last part doesn't fit my spoken theory. I'm somewhat curious as to why Barry Grey would feel this way considering these countries all share the same warring and conquest agendas in a seemingly collaborate endeavor. I would think it would be more of a battle between the corporations on who comes out front first depending on the intent they have with distribution. Whether their intent is for profit or more of a socialized humanitarian effort. I mean seriously, isn't this also the same battle going on between socialized countries spoken humanitarian intent compared to the westernized government countries spoken profit intent?
