WMD being used by a terrorist state. This is what the GOP should infuriate!
GOP is so filled with Russian money they won’t push back
> The marine unit detailed its “radical change in tactics,” confirming it is dropping K-51 grenades from drones onto Ukrainian positions.
>K-51 aerosol grenades are filled with the Riot Control Agent gas CS (2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile), a tear gas used for crowd control. Riot Control Agents are prohibited from being used in modern warfare under the Chemical Weapons Convention.
Tear gas is banned because it’s easy for one side to point fingers and claim the other used chemical weapons. Then withdraw from the treaties banning chemical weapons, and then justify using chemical weapons themselves. There will be no international response to this, because it was tear gas and I doubt Ukraine will escalate to using the awful chemical weapons.
