The US is in no hurry to destroy chemical weapons

The United States again pushed back the deadlines for the complete destruction of its chemical arsenal, leads RIA News the comment of the deputy head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Ryabkov





It was at the insistence of the United States in the Chemical weapons (CWC) at the time was recorded unrealistically ambitious deadline for the global destruction of chemical weapons arsenals - up to 2007 year. It is clear that to achieve this goal failed. But more than a decade has passed. The absolute majority of countries - and we including - have nevertheless coped with their obligations,
says the commentary on the Paris meeting of the International Partnership to Combat Impunity for the Use of Chemical Weapons.

As the diplomat noted, “a completely different picture so far with the elimination of chemical weapons in the United States, which undoubtedly have all the necessary financial, industrial and scientific and technical resources to accomplish this task.”

However, despite this, it is irresponsible that time after time they postpone the deadlines for the complete destruction of their own chemical arsenal. Now it turns out that it is Washington that remains the owner of the world's largest stock of chemical weapons - more than 2,5, thousands of tons of the most dangerous weapons-grade chemical agents. Thus, the United States carefully retains the type of weapons of mass destruction that is prohibited for everyone else. Apparently, for some reason they need it,
stressed Ryabkov.

    We are honest and have disposed of all chemical weapons. And cunning mattresses with their "dry disposal" decided to postpone this.

          Absolutely right. Of the non-nuclear weapons of mass destruction, the most insidious and therefore dangerous is biological. It is not for nothing that the Americans built so many laboratories around Russia, China and Iran.

            - Epidemics of rare diseases that have shocked Ukraine in recent years can be caused by commonplace leaks. However, this option seems extremely unlikely, given the high level of qualification of American specialists. Most likely, the infections were deliberate and were part of a test of modifications of military viruses in order to test them and improve them, ”the investigation said on the official website of the CyberBerkut hacker group.

              rather, water (in Nikolaev), bread, sugar, tea, and dairy are mixed with foodstuffs of mass demand in a directional way - something that is not subjected to heat treatment, or processing (pouring boiling water) does not destroy pathogens. Moreover, it can be one-time sabotage, and then the process goes naturally

      There is no such concept of "honesty" in politics! As a result of ill-conceived (and possibly criminal) actions regarding the premature destruction of chemical weapons not equal to the USA, Russia lost strategic parity with the USA.
      In fact, now, after all the destruction of chemical weapons in Russia, chemical weapons, along with nuclear ones, have become a strategic weapon of US superiority over Russia.
      In World War II, Hitler refused to use chemical weapons (Germany had enough of them), only because the USSR and England had the same weapons, saying that if only Germany would use chemical weapons at the front, the Allies would flood Germany poisonous substances.
      Russia's chemical weapons were a weapon to deter the United States from using it. Today, Russia itself has voluntarily deprived itself of this type of deterrence weapon.

    In connection with the topic of the article, the question arises: why, in a state of post-perestroika poverty, after the devastation associated with the activities of the Yeltsin-Gaidar-Chubais - and other camarilla, Russia hastily rushed to destroy its arsenals, spending enormous money on this? And I would like to remind you: rockets were also blown up under treaties with the States on restrictions, they also unloaded and sold weapons-grade uranium to mattresses for nothing - while they only dismantled their rockets into blocks, and the uranium was stored from warheads (however, according to the latter paragraph, I may be mistaken). Summary: the rush is needed when catching fleas.

        Not only the USA.
        In the early 2000s, the USA, Canada, Germany, Italy, Great Britain and the Netherlands helped finance an expensive recycling program in Moscow.
        According to RIA Novosti, Washington intends to get rid of banned substances by the end of 2023. Ammunition to be disposed of is now stored in warehouses in Pueblo, Colorado, and Blue Grass, Kentucky.
