Hello, this is something new I want to try, since it's still related to war. I'm here to give you war junkies a very toxic fix. This is one of three WMDs, or weapons of mass destruction, as NBC, Nuclear, Biological and Chemical warfare. Now chemical warfare is forbidden by the Chemical Weapons Convention signed on January 13, 1993, as well as the Geneva Protocol. And yet chemical weapons were first used in WWI by both the Entente and the Central Powers. Although the Hague Declaration of 1899 and the Hague Convention of 1907 forbade the use of "poison or poisoned weapons" in warfare, but that was ignored in WWI.

Chemical warfare, contrary to what most modern people may believe, chemical warfare had been going on for a very long time. Poisoning arrow tips was a form of chemical warfare as were boiling tar, arsenic smoke and noxious fumes, etc, as it was using dangerous chemicals to cause harm or death. And, again, contrary to popular believe, it was the French, not the Germans who used chemical weapons first against the Central Powers during WWI, although it was not lethal, and the gas used was irritante and early forms of tear gas.
The first deadly use of poisonous gas against military units in WWI was used by the Germans against the Russians at the battle of Bolimov. This gas was liquid xylyl bromide, and instead of having the desired effect, froze in the cold temperature and the Russians felt no consequence.

So after that debauchery, the Germans and every other faction used chlorine and phosgene gases and were released from canisters on the battlefield and dispersed by the wind. These chemicals were manufactured in large quantities by the turn of the century and were deployed as weapons during the protracted period of trench warfare.
These next few pictures are going to be a bit graphics, so **** your trigger warning. This is the effects of Chlorine gas on the body. it rapidly puts a man out of action when inhaled in a strength of only 1 in 10,000, whereas sulphur dioxide is only effective in a concentration four times as great. Chlorine, being much heavier than air, readily drifts and sinks into trenches, dug outs, and cellars. What the gas does to you, it's kinda sick. Inhaling causes burning pain to eyes and throat, the feeling of suffocation, pain in the chest, and with that comes trouble breathing. The victim might vomit, which brings a bit of relief. More than likely, victims will feel weak in the knees and legs and will pass out. The dangers of passing out will be that they stay with the gas and eventually die out of suffocation.

Mustard gas, or Sulfur Mustard, is a hell of a lot worse than chlorine gas, albeit a little less effective than Chlorine gas, if you haven't been able to tell. This gas causes blistering of the skin and mucous membranes on contact. But, these effects aren't noticed immediately, they manifest themselves over time in small quantity. The problem would be if you took a direct attack of mustard gas, say it was in artillery shells and the shells rained down on your position. It wouldn't take long to feel pain and swelling in your nose and throat as the blisters developed, sealing your airway. It's also to note that the longer you are in contact, the more damaging the effects will be. Most likely, effects of mustard gas will cause irritation to the eyes or skin, or even worse blindness, blisters, pain in the respiratory system or bleeding, and abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, nausea and vomiting.
But what gas killed more people during the war? Phosgene gas. Phosgene, to be frank, is quite amazing. It can be used to make plastic, or heated to 70F or room temperature, it becomes a poisonous gas. Effects of Phosgene are,coughing, burning sensation in the throat and eyes, watery eyes, blurred vision, difficulty breathing or, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting. The real killer of Phosgene is the ability for it to fill the lungs with liquid and drowning you on the surface.

So, who were the retards that introduced chemical weapons in WWII? The ******* japanese. But they only used it against the chinese and those they deemed inferior. They weren't as retarded to use it on the allies. So what did they use? The Japs used mustard gas and the US-developed blister agent Lewisite. The Germans used it against some Russians but thats it. And the British planned to use it against the Germans if they invaded England.
Cold war bitches, no, no, no you ******* COD fanboys, Nova 6 was not used during the cold war. What happened was that the US and USSR tested a plethora of chemical weapons and both maintained enormous stockpiles of chemical weapons, amounting to tens of thousands of tonnes. The amount of chemical weapons held by these two countries was enough to destroy much of the human and animal life on Earth. It's also important to note that after WWII the allies captured three German nerve agents of the day (tabun, sarin, and soman), prompting further research into nerve agents.

After WWII, there were countless uses of Chemical weapons, and it was ******* depressing Examples are North Yemen, Vietnamese border raids in Thailand, Iran Iraq War, Halabja, Angola, Falkland War, where the Argentinians used tear gas against the British, as well as many terrorist attacks using chemical weapons, the most famous being Aum Shinrikyo, an apocalyptic group based in Japan released Sarin Gas on June 27, 1994, in the Tokyo subway system. A more recent and notable example was 1991 Gulf War and 2003 invasion of Iraq, the US and her allies worried that the Iraqis would use chemical weapons against allied troops and issued their troops NBC suits and experimental antidotes to counter the effects. However that has caused problems with our veterans and the Iraqis never used the gas. The Syrian government is also accused of using chemical weapons.
Also, oy vey goyims, Stalag 13 prison camp, what happened? A group of jews wanting revenge for the holocaust, grabbed some poison and chemicals and attempted to kill 6 million germans, with approval of Israeli prime minister. Three members applied an arsenic-containing mixture to loaves of bread, sickening more than 2,000 Nazi troops, of whom more than 200 required hospitalization. The group was called Bahm Y'Israeli Nokieam, I think don't quote me on the name since I am going by memory.

The last, and controversially argued chemical weapon I want to talk about, and one you might be familiar with, is white phosphorus. This is the mildest picture I can post that isn't the most goriest one. This weapon burns, and does it burn. It burns at 5,000 degrees F, and **** it's just, it's ******* awful. It burns, it has been used in WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Iraq, Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, Libya, and Israel has used it on civilians. This weapon is just awful, and many attempts to make it illegal have passed but many countries have refused to ratify and therefore still use it.
Anyways, this is Chemical Weapons, I hoped you enjoyed. Buy a gas mask, since it can protect you from gas and help you breath in irradiated areas, and get out of here stalker.
