Knowing who and how it started allows the world to assign blame and help stop it from happening again, especially if it was man made.
The problem here Alan is that even if we find the smoking gun proving this came from a lab due to incompetence, nothing will happen. Why? Because Biden is a weak feckless president who "has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”
China is wining not because it is strong, but because the West, with the USA leading, has decided to give up, all for nothing but money.
For the same reasons in the 1930s, when so many outside Germany worked with the Nazi's, many people just are caving to their morals for profit, and China knows it. Actor John Cena just had to issue an apology for stating the simple fact that Taiwan is a country. Appeasement for money, that is it.
I think now though we are wondering down a very dangerous path, especially with Biden trying to re-enter the Iran deal. This past Israel-Hamas fight was almost certainly used as an information gathering campaign on the Israeli defense systems by Iran, especially given the single Iranian drone flying over Israel, which the only plausible explanation was to record information. (If it was part of a military campaign to help Hamas, many would have been sent, not one.) So Iran now is gathering defense information on Israel, and getting sanctions lifted by Biden, providing them with capital, and setting up the stage for a war between Israel and Iran.
Then, through on top of that that Iran has recently allied itself with China and Russia, and, given recent statements from, Pakistan would almost certainly help out Iran to defeat Israel if need be. Israel too has many allies, most of the West, including us, and, if Pakistan was drug into something, India would soon follow.
It very well could be springtime in 1914 again.
