"Whitey hardest hit"
"Whitey hardest hit"
NK has a death wish.
Back around 2013, some folks found some leftover samples in a South African lab, after everyone felt that all samples were disposed of. I would make a guess that you can find hundreds of labs around the world that have samples packed away. Some aren’t aware of it...some probably have rogue scientists who just kept it for a private project.
I would suggest this...if any episode occurs and it leads back to North Korea...there probably will be a level of destruction laid down that would make the images of Berlin in 1945 look minor in detail. Even the Chinese have to be looking at this suggestion and be fairly worried about the nutcase in charge.
“...only the US and Russia have sample of the smallpox virus.”
Just find graves of small pox victims and go to work. This is especially scary since we’ve stopped vaccinating for it, although we supposedly have enough vaccine for the US population (anti-vaxxers to the end of the line!).
We can retaliate with nuclear weapons on such an attack since we signed away our chemical and biological weapons. That’s the law of warfare.
And the lefties have the gall to advertise “Impeach Trump” ads on YouTube with one of their attack points being he has access to the nuclear button. Please. This coming from the people who allowed nuclear capabilities to go to a crazed communist dictator in North Korea and to dangerous Islamists in Iran. The lefties keep burying themselves with their utter stupidity.
Climate change is more important than a smallpox outbreak, don’t worry.
Cholera and the Bubonic Plague (Black Death) are both bacterial, and thus treatable with antibiotics, IIRC. Again, IIRC, Bubonic Plague still shows up occasionally in the western US.
So - Some truth and a lot of scare tactics in this article.
China and Russia have to realize that North Korea is a malignant tumor that could damage either of them by accident as badly as the damage they intend for us, Japan and South Korea. Instead they enable and support fat boy.
They “could be.” Sure. And Rocket Man could be a space alien, too, I guess.
This seems like nothing more than pointless fearmongering, to me - which makes me wonder who’s behind it, and why. Is it the McCain / Graham types, who seem to have some kind of sick lust for war?
Reminds me of Saddam’s mobile weapons labs
A biological attack is the same as a nuclear attack.
Response will be equitable......................
Some volunteers were re-vaccinated after 9/11
I'm one of them
