Let's talk chemical weapons [View all]

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.
