For what it's worth, the US is at least destroying its remaining stockpiles of chemical weapons, and is due to finish the process by September 2023. Let's hope the country doesn't get involved in a large scale conflict between now and then, which might cause a change of plans for those munitions.

- sidewndr46 4y agoThe US is disposing of chemical weapons because they're enormously expensive and simply not that effective. Chemical weapons usage by Cuba in Angola didn't really turn the tide of the war. Also, the US has nuclear weapons plus a huge fleet of bombers with conventional weapons. Pretty easy to give up an expensive party-trick when you basically decapitate the military of most countries in just a few hours.
