You are correct about the old weapons..
I inspected the government labs before the Russian chemical weapons treaty..they were in disrepair, and one main storage was run by a Saudi..wth
We had an incident involving equipment used at Aberdeen proving ground years after the treaty, it was returned to.manufacturer for rebuild..
The lab tech working on it started choking and sweating, then vomit..
The ambulance folks were told of the incident, and would not work on Him, we called Aberdeen contacts and a while later a black chopper landed at the business site in the parking lot, two techs in lab suits came in and gave him a shot and retrieved the contaminated equioment, and left..our tech recovered.
We have a new pile of nasty bio and Chem weapons, as does Russia and china..
The Russians had tons and tons of both chem and bio weapons they manufactured during the Cold War in blatant violation of every treaty they ever signed.
Smallpox, anthrax, VX, Sarin, all in mind boggling quantities. When the Soviet Union fell most of the scientists involved simply locked up and walked away.
Screw the Russians.
