Strip away the moralistic opposition to chemical weapons and you often find strategic self-interest lying underneath. Powerful countries like the United States cultivate a taboo against using WMD partly because they have a vast advantage in conventional arms. We want to draw stark lines around acceptable and unacceptable kinds of warfare because the terrain that we carve out is strategically favorable. Washington can defeat most enemy states in a few days — unless the adversary uses WMD to level the playing field.

The only difference between "conventional weapons" and "chemical weapons" is semantics.

It's anything but that. In the first, you are injuring people. In the latter case, you are injuring people as well as injuring their ability to heal.
This is about being straight out retarded. Children see in slow motion like owls.

Obviously this assumes that you think about war as an event, something that happens between peace. If war is just an ending to you, then sure, lets nuke the planet. Semantics indeed.

Sarin effects can be minimized if medical team threat patient in time. In case of good old bombing (conventional enough?), patient can lose limbs and lower torso. It's a good thing patients ability to heal is intact, everything is gonna be fine lol

You haven't put up a sensible argument to any of them.

hey sixthumbs i'll play xant defense force with you right quick. i'm pretty sure something similar to "what does a dead man care about his method of death?" is germane here.

besides, chemical weapons are not prohibited by international treaty solely because the death itself is horrifying, painful, brutal, or anything else like that. a larger part of it is the environmental impact. bit difficult to obtain proper statistics, but Agent Orange use in Vietnam (hurrrr its JUST a defoliant and its fiiiiine, how else we gonna get fire-lanes set up in the jungle??) has promoted a large increase in birth defects, cancers, miscarriage, et cetera. even if not using something thats gonna have an impact that far down the road, bio-chem weapons aren't exactly "precision"

of course, not that strikes termed "precision strikes" are very precise either but that probably has much more to do with shit-tier intel sourced from unvetted local tribal fucksticks.

your comment about nukes is silly; even compared to Sarin or hyper-botulism or whatever in Christ's name humans have cooked up that ain't straight up Captain Trips nuclear exchange is pretty much the worst thing for the whole world that can happen.

anyway HEY IS ___ ALLOWED TO GAS PEOPLE? WHOS GONNA STOP HIM? ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO *NOTHING*? is not important frankly
Sorry I was only using nukes as a hypothetical situation because at this point that is the only thing that is going to stop conventional arms, but I am sure as the survivors leave the bunkers the cycle will start again. And if you start ignoring stuff like chemical weapons and such how long till nukes come into it.

And to the ones that think everyone should get rid off all their weapons because the other guy "said" they were going to get rid of theirs I think you are niave try to blame US all you want.

Chemical weapons are bad, end of story.  If you want to die by inhalling chlorine gas be my guest, do it and do the world a favor.
Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut

Golem wakes up in a hospital bed, all his limbs amputated and both eyes gone. He asks the doctor if chemical weapons were involved. When the doctor says no, Golem lets out a whoop of joy. The doctor is confused. Golem asks how long it takes for humans to regrow limbs and eyes. The doctor is even more confused and says humans can't do that. Golem is also confused, didn't the doctor just say no chemical weapons were used? The doctor tells him that humans actually have a very limited ability to heal, even if chemical weapons weren't involved.
