"More than 30,000 tons of chemical munitions have been disposed of over nearly three decades.
Years behind schedule and several times over budget, the United States’ declared chemical weapons stock is fully destroyed.
The last batch of munitions containing sarin gas, a deadly nerve agent, were disarmed on Friday, July 7 at the Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant in Kentucky. The destruction was verified by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons."...
..."Under the Chemical Weapons Convention, the military was supposed to have eliminated its stockpile in 2007, almost two decades ago. It was granted a five-year extension but failed to meet that as well. The U.S. gave itself a deadline of finishing the work by Sept. 30 of this year, which it finally met. The total cost of eliminating the weapons was $42 billion, 2,400 times over budget, according to the New York Times."

“US military destroys the last of its chemical weapons”
I wonder if they destroyed them WITHOUT telling the Neocons...since they’d likely be in use, in Ukraine, later this year if they weren’t destroyed.
I would expect nothing less.
What?!?! You mean they aren’t giving them to Zelenskyy?!?!?
Or maybe thye are giving them to Zelenskyy ‘to destroy’.
We can’t get enough people, even stupid ones…

France “destroyed” their cluster munitions in 2016, but shipped them to Ukraine in 2022.

When the US military destroys the biological weapons populating DC, somebody wake me.
Exactly.
And I don’t believe the US destroyed all of their chemical weapons.
Rather this is info to be put out and about.
Like Chlamydia, ya know?
“France “destroyed” their cluster munitions in 2016, but shipped them to Ukraine in 2022.”
The Neocons don’t even care anymore. Obviously Russia was wise enough to know that the Neocons would cheat on that Cluster Bombs too, as they cheat on everything else, even the damn Grain Deal.
They were mistakenly included in that last shipment of cluster weapons.
OOPS.
Meanwhile, the ChiComs, Iranians and Russians have kept theirs.
When the cluster bombs run out to give Ukraine, DC could have unloaded the chemical weapons there. Aren’t they thinking in DC?
Do you believe they’re being honest?
Next, Biden will destroy conventional weapons.
“When the cluster bombs run out to give Ukraine, DC could have unloaded the chemical weapons there. Aren’t they thinking in DC?”
That’s why I think someone made the very wise decision to not mention it up the line, since it’s hard to imagine ANYTHING that would please the Neocons more than seeing Russians being gassed.
Surprised that they didn’t ship them over to the Ukraine. To protect democracy or something like that.
Don’t worry!
We still have these!
MOABs next.
Are you sure you want to use that source for anything?
