Horrible weapons, should never be used again


docyabut2

Recommended Posts

 Gas weapons were was always used in killing many people and children  in Germany , Iraq many  ect.ect. Nuclear weapons  of  American or any countries should never be used . Why don't they just get back to a war in just a solider fighting a solider, over the good rights of men and lands to bring peace to the great countries of the world of which all man should do ^_^

Russians should not get into Serbia supporting their gas weapons,  if they want to be a great country.

I think this statement needs an explanation, what exactly you are talking about?

How about we add standard bombs to that? Read some first-hand witness accounts from civilians during any given bombing raid or occurrence of shelling (such as during the siege of of Sarajevo, or what's been happening in Syria for the past several years) Nobody ****ing deserves that.

But I gotta say I don't agree with this:

Because the way you write it here makes it seem like a bit of a romanticism of older warfare. it was still hell and often there were people involved that didn't want to be there. And even older warfare was rough on the civilian population. After days of fighting some soldiers can be very messed up (consider they didn't know much about the psychological effects yet and provided no help or support in that direction) and when the city finally fell... well Troy was a fictional account, but it stands to reason that it's a standard depiction of what went down then.
There is no "good" war, imho, just wars that are justifiable evils when compared to to the evils they are meant to stop/overthrow.

Cyclon B? I assume at least, because the various armies didn't fight with gas weapons in Europe. The horror they Civilians were put through everywhere from London, over Hamburg to St.Petersburg/Leningrad was still bad enough, though and in many places there were rumors circulating about gas weapons, possibly fueled by people succumbing to monoxide poisoning and by propaganda.

However, the statement was quite stupid and absurd as well. And, Cyclon B wasnt created and used as a chemical weapon, even if the nazis used it for their appalling mission.

Do you mean the OPs statement or mine?

if the former, yeah it was very misleading and could conjure up the wrong ideas, when it was really the German government itself that was killing German and Eastern European civilians using poison gas.

there was no chemical weapons used there, afaik. only the blockade, which turns out now, as documents being declassified,  was not  really done by nazis but by soviets themselves.  just think about it, Leningrad was under siege for about 3 years, during those times food for civilians were brought only by way of water in the  summer, in the winter  ice trucking was the only way for civilians to get food,(ladoga lake)  that was the only way that Germans did not block, or so  they were told, yet city was making weapons, and those weapons left the city with no issues, same way supplies, and materials for those weapons came in,  not the way food came in, so did Germans only blocked food for civilians from coming in, and let weapons out?  b.s. soviet leaders did that. and blamed Germany, in most cases regular German army (not ss units, but regular grey uniform army)  was less cruel to civilians than soviet nkvd.

Horrible, yes, but no person/kid has been killed by poison gas in Germany since 1945 so what exactly is your point on Germany here?

So you say that killing each other is acceptable and honourable as long as the action belongs to "a great country" and "all men should do so"? Sieg Heil!

You know, dead is dead.  Getting burnt alive with a flame thrower or napalm, buried alive with a bulldozer,  blown to bits with a predator drone, or shot with a rifle all kinda suck.  I always thought it was silly of us to think that any weapon is more horrible than another.

That's bad and all but honestly, one hit kills aren't terrible. A dirty bomb however, that's horrible.

Not everyone dies from one hit kills with any weapons.  Some linger for hours, days or weeks.  Gut shot with a rifle, crushed under debris for a few days,  90% body burned but still on life support, etc.  War is not clean or pleasant by any means.

It really sucks but the purpose of war is to win. To destroy your enemy to the point where they won't be able to attack you again for a long time. It's not nice, it's not pretty, nor is it fair. If it was it would always end in a draw. War can be an instrument of peace or evil. The character of the key players is what decides what weapons are used and how they are deployed. The use of chemical weapons illustrates this. The fact that Trump and a few allies launched missiles against Assad is laudable but was ultimately a waste of money and time as they accomplished very little. In fact, both times missiles were launched in retaliation for using chemical weapons against Assad's regime he was forewarned and very little damage to to his chemical manufacturing infrastructure was done. Here's the latest report on on the latest strikes.

If any Damage had been done the Israeli's would have been the first to celebrate it. They hate Syria with a passion. 

You be the judge,

Please explain what you mean by that. Antifa committed scores of crimes on Inauguration Day. There were acts of arson and vandalism, and there also were acts of assault. Some police used tear gas against violent people who threatened others, so your post was inaccurate.

well it was meant as a little bit of fun cause i know what a super republican aztec is. having said that... if you wanted to draw a comparison between Syria and Trump's inauguration violence then 

Assad could also argue that tear gassed is banned in warfare so America is committing a war crime. by using it on protestors. of course the example is far fetched but still technically relevant.

Waco comes to mind too. I won't argue that such things aren't replete with double standard and hypocrisy. I think that we should just stay out of sovereign states' business. Not much good comes from interference.

What's the deal with CS gas?  Every year, we had to go through the gas chamber so that we could spend the rest of the day discharging mucus.  Good times.

The deal with war is that it isn't peace.  The purpose is to destroy your enemy as quickly as possible and make it distasteful to him from trying it again.  In war, anything goes.  Only the victor will determine what were crimes or not.  Many times the victor will ignore their own atrocities and condemn the same from the vanquished.  Banning certain kinds of weapons usually happens by consensus on the battlefield.  As long as both sides don't cross the line then things are fine and the ban lasts only as long as both sides don't violate it.  You can't legislate war.  Don't try.  There is no fair play in war.  You hit when they aren't looking.  You kick them when they are down.  You use every dirty trick in the book you can.  You want it to end as soon as possible.
