To me the question is actually, what changed to make them release the story now? Biden’s been out of office for a while now… it wasn’t anything his admin did. They could’ve continued gagging the victims, claiming it’s psychosomatic, and most of us would keep on believing that, because Occam’s razor.

Lots of similar reports came out during the Maduro raid. Same symptoms. Seems we demonstrated the capabilities we were hiding. OSINT experts already put the pieces together a month ago. So did our adversaries. Cat’s out of the bag, so no sense continuing to gaslight our wounded veterans.

We probably put this fucking thing in a plane instead of a backpack. Everything’s bigger in the USA, of course.

It's like cracking the Enigma during WWII. If you let the enemy know you've cracked it, and do the obvious thing and save the lives immediately in front of you, in the long run, more people are going to die. So pretending that there are just some crazy people working in Cuba for as long as they can is better than "holy shit, Russia has an invisible weapon that turns people crazy".
