if havana syndrome is really a russian attack beam, then based on those cases in the 90s, they already won.

if this really was the attack they claim, then russians have already destroyed an entire generation of american spooks and diplomats.

the entire foreign service getting early onset parkinsons in 10 years would cripple our ability to maintain our empire in a way no amount of wars can undo.

so even if the russian mind beams are real, it is too late to stop them

By googling studies on Havana Syndrome I found out that a bunch of Canadian diplomats in Havana started showing symptoms similar to the Americans around the same time back in 2016. A Canadian study was published in 2019: Havana Syndrome Among Canadian Diplomats: Brain Imaging Reveals Acquired Neurotoxicity.



So exposure to organophosphorus insecticides could explain all symptoms associated with Havana Syndrome? And Havana Syndrome first appeared just after Cuba tried to combat the spread of the Zika virus by mass indoor and outdoor fumigations? And reports of symptoms increased dramatically when fumigations were done in and around the houses of the Canadian staff?

But I'm sure it's a Russian brain ray.

inhaling a bunch of insecticide makes sense to me, but otoh who do we get to bomb if it turns out diplomats and spies just love huffing roundup?

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

You know how some websites require security questions on your account to reset your password or whatever? Well one of the worst security questions you can have is "What is your favorite restaurant?" because in the USA everyone just says McDonald's. 80%+ of the time this will be the answer for a US based customer, so we had to get rid of it as a security question.

Anyway I am coming around on the theory that most of havana syndrome is just American metabolism breaking down when it is away from a steady supply of fat and salt and corn syrup and they just stop eating or have to adapt to real food for the first time ever.
