North Korea's other weapons: Expert warns nukes aren't biggest concern
North Korea’s nuclear program has long triggered condemnation – including the U.N. Security Council’s recent decision to apply some of the toughest sanctions in history – but is something far more lethal lurking in the Hermit Kingdom’s arsenal?



"They have a large stockpile of chemical weapons, but the one that gets the least attention, and that I worry most about, is their biological weapons program," said Andrew Weber, the former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Chemical and Biological Defense Programs from 2009-2014.

When it comes to biological weapons, Weber said, just a tiny amount can bring incredibly lethal results. "Ounces or pounds would be enough. You can have millions of lethal doses of anthrax in a several-pound quantity... With smallpox, maybe just a few grams."

One of the biggest concerns when it comes to chemical or biological warfare - a concern that Weber and the White House seem to share - is the fact that these incredibly lethal attacks can easily be "cloaked in deniability," and difficult to trace back to the perpetrator. Weber pointed out that “it takes just one or two people to covertly deliver a strategic biological weapons attack.”

Heres the plan.
Point massive nukes towards all of our enemies.
If a biological, chemical or nuclear weapon is used toward us or our allies, send them all.
Let this be known worldwide.
If one screws up, they all die.

This is just propaganda, Weve seen this shit before in the first and second gulf wars . If an attack is deemed necessary they want the and need the backing of the people. Remember how effective Saddams chemical's were? and he did use them contrary to what everybody has been told.

what we know about biological weapons is that they are notoriously infective after about 24 hours . It has a very short lifespan outside.

Chemical weapons have been around since WW1 and probably longer than that , its simple acid and chlorine. you can make it in your yard , every country in the world that has chemicals has WMDS potentially.

EMPs like every other weapon has a limited range, One nuke isn't going to bring the grid to a halt . It would require hundreds of nukes. Think of them them to be a regional weapon , not a country sized weapon. serious damage would be limited to several hundred miles max. (probably not even that far.) the results I've read vary considerably . from garage doors opening , to cars starting right up depending on the range.

Don't get me wrong they are still weapons , but their sales men are even better!
