> But I do not agree with the claim that this is interesting in this context as it seems irrelevant to the discussion The discussion appears to be on the topic if we assume the topic is VX or nerve agents in general. I assume this is in line with your intention for posting a series of Wikipedia links on the subject in this thread, which I found both relevant and interesting. The reasons why I suggested that the dumping of large quantities of nerve agents was an interesting fact is an inquisitive person may ask themselves - - Is the product still down there under the ocean? - What could be the environmental impact? - What were they thinking at the time to dump such a hazardous material? Why didn't they use alternative means to destroy the material? - Was this standard practise back then? If so what other deadly man made products are under the ocean? - If they are still working to eradicate 5,950 tons of nerve agents in a single storage complex in Russia, how much did that country dump back during the cold war and would we actually ever find out? TFA says the 5,950 tons is only 14% of of Russian chemical weapons [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VX_(nerve_agent)#Worldwide_VX_stockpile_elimination https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VX_(nerve_agent)#Worldwide_VX_...
