I wondered that too. I think both their honeytraps are going to continue...though I'm not sure why. And I guess they'll keep up with the family too.

Maybe they're trying to get the info on this stuff before it hits the market.

That's a definite possibility. After all the USSR would save a ton of cash if P&E could steal some seed samples and send them back which would save them the R&D costs but also the arm and a leg the US gov't would probably charge in trade negotiations for such disease-resistant wheat.

USSR and GMO

But looking at real life, did the USSR ever acquire GMO crops? I wish I remembered history better on this issue.
