Post more brown girl
That's an orange star infantryman, anon
I'm pretty sure that specific orange star trooper is a girl in the cutscene she appears. Because she speaks.
she cute
Fricking draw a boy, call it a boy s8pspgbullshit.
weapons of ass destruction
Sauce on that anime?
Great game. Have it on the GBA for when I wanna chill out. Sammy best girl! Forgot but is Nell playable?
>Sauce on that anime?
Wokeforward did a remake for the Switch. I might unironically buy a Nintendo Switch just for it. Yes you can play as mommy but you need to unlock everyone first.

I want Nell to sit on my face and explain to me what an airport is.

Because they're indiscriminate.
A big frick off shell isn't very discriminant either, is it?
>A big frick off shell isn't very discriminant either, is it?
the effect is 4 dimensional because it persists
hmm...
but a minefield persists as well, doesn't it? They aren't weapons of mass destruction
Chemical weapons are arguably worse than biologicals. A bioweapon can die off relatively quickly. For some of them, it's literally just a matter of bathing the place in ultraviolet light. A chemical agent can last almost in perpetuity. You notice we're not too keen on leaping right back into East Palestine, Ohio.
Neither of these relate to "mass destruction", I don't think. Bioweapons can kill millions, nukes can kill millions... chlorine gas can bugger about people circa 1916. there's no competition
Is chlorine gas still fricking up all of western France?
>chlorine gas
In the same category you have shit like VX you tard.
>bioweapon can die off relatively quickly

How is a nuke mass destruction if you drop it in space
WMDs aren’t a specific, legally distinct category in international law, CBRN weapons just tend to be lumped together in treaties because they’re all seen as especially heinous. While biological, radiological, and nuclear agents almost always have a much higher destructive capacity than chemical warfare it tends to get thrown in as well because there’s long-standing precedent of its prohibition going back to before the First World War since it’s so horrible.
ayeaye
Memes of mass destruction. aka ideology

I love Advance Wars so much bros
>drop a nuke on a city
>shitload of people are blasted away and more get acute radiation sickness indiscriminately
>set off a dirty-bomb in a city
>shitload of people are blasted away and more get acute radiation sickness indiscriminately
>drop an anthrax-bomb on a city
>shitload of people indiscriminately develop big, dark spots of necrotic tissue and clog up the local hospitals, even more get infected when they go to the hospitals for other reasons or when their asymptomatic carrier family members violate quarantine to shelter in a cabin outside the city
>drop a VX bomb on a city
>shitload of people start having seizures and dying in the streets, even more for hundreds of miles indiscriminately do the same, or have permanent nerve damage when the wind carries the particulate to them
Gee anon I fricking wonder why
Cute anime boy but brown people don't look like that irl
>How are chemical weapons a weapon of mass destruction?
Because if they weren't the NBC acronym would only have two letters and the USA cannot abide two letter acronyms.
Chemical weapons are 10x worse than nukes
Even though they dont destroy the buildings themselves, the nerve agents are so deadly and so resilient that you would basically have to demolish or abandon an entire city before it would be inhabitable again
Go and look at what the britbongs had to do just to deal with a very small amount of novichok, now imagine that dispersed over a city of millions
Large areas in and around Verdun France are still no go zones due to mustard gas and phosgene munitions.. The stuff is still also in the soil, vaporizing up into the air and condensing back into dark oily liquid and fog when it cools. Still as deadly today as it was in WW1. You can render an entire region a dead zone with shockingly low PPM depending on the agent. Release it in a densely populated area, and millions can die and be horribly injured/disabled from just one event. The Tokyo sarin attacks could have been drastically worse had the nut jobs went with something like hydrogen cyanide. Luckily they were too dumb to optimize their attacks. Chemical weapons can inflict horrific injuries and horrifically gruesome deaths. I'm talking scream inducing muscle spasms so violent, the victims fracture their spines.

>mass destruction
>mass is always conserved
who fricking write this fricking shit?
I think it means mass as in Catholic mass.
That's with a capital M tough
as in go to Mass or go to hell
"mass" is short for "Massachusetts", against whom these weapons will be used during the great mbutthole retribution.
The mass part refers to their indescriminant nature
If I shoot you in mouth with a fricking rifle, your just as dead as if I shoot you in the heart with a .22.
The actual desolation caused by chemical weapons is absolutely comparable to nukes, they can make areas uninhabitable for decades, and cause significant long term damage to genetics of people that even just handle them (Agent Orange). Also they are arguably more terrifying because of mouth breathers like you that don't understand just how fricking dangerous gas attacks can be.
Nah, it took multiple attacks just to frick up Halabja. The real reason chems are hated is they force everyone to dress out in the most miserable defensive ensemble known to man, NBC gear. Not even Hitler liked that idea.
They aren't as effective because most of the ones used have been in storage for decades, chemical weapons also don't have nearly as much RnD put into them, and what is, is generally focused on covert assassination stuff. If a great power wanted to they could easily develop a gas weapon capable of eating through everything but glass and ceramics, that could literally slough flesh from bone.
Oh we have that, Chlorine Triflouride. It eats the glass and ceramics too btw.
>From Ignition!:
>It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.
>And someone once wrote a serious proposition for its use as an oxidizer in rockets.
Where do you think the chemical weapon chemicals go if they are not inhaled after an attack? Chemical weapons are worst than nukes but lack the range.
They are not, but they are so classified to enable reprisal using WMD which is the only available deterrent.
Persistent nerve agents are more insidious than any other weapon. They produce significantly worse area denial than nuclear fallout due to the difficulty in detecting and cleaning away the agent from all surfaces.
They destroy everything not just humans. Nuclear, radioactive, biological and chemical. It destroys everything and renders it uninhabitable for long periods. If enough are used humanity will die quickly. That's just part of the definition but you get the idea.
A Moab will kill.everything but things will be able to live where they went off.
Correct me if I’m wrong but if you touch about two droplets of VX gas with your skin you INSTANTLY FRICKING DIE right?
Seems pretty fricked up to me anon.
Chemical weapons are both persistent (unlike conventional bombs) and hard to control/predict due to wind and the like. this means that they have an incredibly high rate of collateral damage. the first time the bongs used gas it blew back in their faces.

Chemical weapons are pinnacle of human perversion and warlust. Just read what sarin does to, well, life. Not even the germans used their huge stockpiles of sarin shells in WW2 while losing ground. WW1 was total hell goddamn.
I have a dumb hypothesis that chemical (especially nerve agents) have reduced efficacy in humans vs. lab tests on animals.
this is mainly down to all the semi toxic/reactive shit we consume and is floating around in our blood stream
Lab tests on animals? The UK just used squaddies instead.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Maddison
Should we talk about specific weapon systems or chemicals instead?
because poison gas doesn't care where you released it and we aren't Star Trek enough to control the wind.
