” difficult to use the material for military purposes.”
Conventional military use of WMD considers the safety to the deploying forces and civilians. The Amish don’t care about either.
They will send in infected people across the border as vectors or mix this stuff up in a blender and spray it out the window.
but ... but ... but ...
Saddam had a “vast chemical weapons facility” ? Hmm.
