Just a thought but imagine if by any chance, they have already secretly succeeded in accomplishing this. And imagine if they're already doing it in secret. Do you think this is likely?

...nobody with that technology and skill is going to attempt it.

I'm certainly no expert in the field, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if there were or could be cloning operations in places like Russia, China, NK and Saudi Arabia, for example.

The value of an 'enhanced human' could be worth the cost, I'm thinking. And morals wouldn't necessarily matter, to some...

Lol... that's what I get for commenting on Toxic Tankieville, where casual charges of "racism" are as common as taking a breath.

Don't worry, I'm unsubscribing now from all your instance's communities. That was a bad idea, but swiftly rectified in a few minutes...

Would it not be more likely for it to happen in USAmerica or EU?
Make USAmerica great folk may not have an issue of having cloned soldiers. They seem to be having Nazi saluters too

Regarding EU, less likely to be direct, but could be a partner to USAmerican programmes like how they actively go along for USAmerican invasions

Make USAmerica great folk

I agree they have the lack of morals, but also they're largely idiots at every level. Literally, the smarter and more competent you are, the less likely you're MAGA. Of course they could try to order research agencies to proceed with such a program, but by the reverse token, such folks would be very likely to leak that info to the press, I think.

The other thing to keep in mind is that MAGA folk simply don't think in terms of long-term planning or ambitious programs. It's usually more about immediate grift, opportunism, punishing their enemies, and so forth.

Europe is a whole 'nother kettle of fish, but I can't really speak to that with sufficient knowledge. And this is all speculation, anyway. Russia, China, & NK are all more likely to me because they're all finished dictatorships, with any opposition largely crushed. They're also far smarter and more cunning then MAGA leadership.

Yeah, the US would never commit unethical human experiments outside of MAGA types... Surely; only the dastardly foreigners would be so evil. MK ultra? Never heard of it.
