RE: (NSFW) Is White Phosphorus a Chemical Weapon?
It is absolutely a chemical weapon. It's a chemical, used as a weapon.
Saying it's incendiary doesn't change its nature, just describes its effect. Basically, it's an excuse weapons manufacturers come up with so they can keep selling that particular brand of death.
I totally agree with you, it's crazy that the US sells this stuff, it's used by 'allies' in one conflict (Saudis bombing Yemen), used by the US in Iraq, used by the Israelis in Gaza... but the use of Sarin gas warrants a 'red-line' for crimes against humanity?
They're both horrific in my mind.
Just amazed that people buy these excuses for invasion!
