Let's talk chemical weapons

[Aviation Pro]

Today, I was made aware of some madmen mulling the idea of sending our Special Operations Forces to Iran to secure the 450 kg (990 lbs) of enriched uranium that weren’t utterly obliterated a few months ago.

Now, this stockpile is probably containerized in a heavily guarded, hardened facility with a zonal defense of at least a 5 kilometer radius from the center. To secure this facility and extract the material would require air and ground assets including experienced personnel who specialize in handling fissionable material.

So how do you neutralize the area without damaging the package including incapacitating the protective force?

Oh, how about a little VX, the most lethal nerve agent in our inventory? Think these fuckers would give a second thought about employing a WMD? Nope.

And once the chemical WMD genie is out of the bottle the nukes are not far behind.

Thanks, you fucking MAGATS.

1. We dont have VX in our inventory

The last VX was destroyed in 2022 and the last chemical weapons we had in inventory were destroyed in 2023.

3. That we know of

Yeah, I know about that island in the Pacific. Also, did we destroy the formula as well?

8. A Fair Point

We can't unlearn how we make it.
Knowing the chemistry, I can tell you it requires highly specialized equipment to make in any significant volume.
I have to consider the possibility that the hardware has been decommissioned.
So, making more is not just flipping a switch.
We're kind of debating the unknowable here. All strictly speculation.

2. I'm not following. The US has never threatened any chemical agents ever

Is this just your thoughts?

[Aviation Pro]

4. No

But the U.S. never had a bag of fuck President.

5. So this is just fiction you made up.?You should lead with that

I was off searching for news on chemical threats from our government.

6. The non-fiction part is the use of SOF

To secure the uranium. A very small group that will need a very large support package to pull it off.

7. Ok. I'm still not following the gas part.

Our special forces just took the sitting leader out of Venezuela while incapacitating all of the defenses. No nerve agents.

The US is signatory of the chemical weapons convention and destroyed all of our stockpiles back in the 90’s. They use to do it out at rocky flats in Colorado.

I don’t think this is valid at all.

9. Snatching a person is not the same

As snatching material.

You really think the child raping bag of fuck or his cronies would be encumbered by such quaint things as being signatories to a convention?

10. We don't have nerve agents. Yes I believe signatures mstter

He has been in office one year. We just didn’t start producing nerve agents. That requires planning, investments, secure facilities, etc etc.
it would be known.

This is fantastic and really no place for it. You can of course have these thoughts, but asking others to validate them…..
