Is open research a weapon? I think there are many more things the US spends its money on that could be argued to be weapons, much more convincingly than publicly accessible research.
MIT is not a weapon. The scientific community is not an aggressor.
The US is an aggressor. The research conducted in MIT and elsewhere in the US is literally used for weapons.
