ban is on use and not on stockpiling. it's all legal distinctions to avoid incurring penalties in the global economy. wars aren't even fought in the open anymore,you fight them via proxy "liberations" in failed nation states. for eg russia vs europe/usa vs iran vs saudi arabia in syria or china vs india via pakistan
- Nasrudith 8y agoAlso annoyingly biological weaponry requires specimens to create countermeasures like vaccines and antibodies. Even smallpox we have kept on ice and are debating if it should be incinerated to reduce the relatively minuscule escape chance or kept on ice in case we need to make more vaccines. Hypothetically being able to digitize and compile it would allow incineration of every bioweapon but it comes with its own dilemma. The one advantage is that if it comes out of bits and into pathogens it was definitely deliberate. The disadvantage of course is that it can be printed with the right equipment.
