The Ultimate Guide to Chemical Weapons

[@hypohystericalhistory8133]

My apologies for the quality of the audio recording on this one. It turns out that when I was recording this video I was actually coming down with covid. That goes some way to explain the misreading and, as usual, I have butchered the pronunciation of many terms, some of which are awful words that must be specifically designed to be difficult to say. And again sorry for how long this took, the research and reading were significant and I had a few distractions. But don't worry, I'm already working on the next video so hopefully that shouldn't take too long.

[@socialabsurdity6723]

@@robertkalinic335 they are "newer" so to speak and there is less data on them when it comes to their experimental use or composition, hence why countries with them guard any knowledge about them so closely, because knowing more about them allows a military to build countermeasures to them. The 5th gens I do know about, the current US/NATO military issue masks and CBRN equipment have zero protection against them, so there is one particular thing that makes them special.

When I joined the US Army in '84, we were taught all the NBC (Nuclear Bio Chem) doctrine and defense. After getting to the field, you realized NBC meant nobody cared. This was the Cold War but spending hours in, what the US called MOPP (Military Operational Protective posture) 4, was a big pain. Then Desert Shield, and suddenly a massive interest in NBC warfare and defense. When deploying to the AO in '90, the NBC refresher was the most intense, and heard more questions asked ever. It was like people cared now. Scared the daylights out of me, I was just a 23 yr old, hoping for a long life. So we were in Saudi in Jan '91 and the scud alarm went off. We all got into our suits and masks and into the bunker. One of the people in our bunker was panicking and couldn't get his mask on. He was breathing so fast that a few of us got out are atropine auto-injectors and approached the 'victim'. He quickly got his shit together, as no one wants to auto injected by paranoid soldiers. NBC weapons have an amazingly perverse effect on a person who might be exposed's attitude. I would have taken incoming artillery or whatever other than chemical weapons. The idea your blown to pieces is better than hours of agony. The fear of the weapons, they weren't used, were enough to put a scare in us that I will never forget. When we moved out across the border, the first time an alarm went off was a complete stop of the advance. The powers that be had us scared and if we saw anything that looked like artillery, it was liquidated. Now it's '03 (Iraqi Freedom), I'm older with a family now. I only worried about the Chem weapons, I could face the rest, but the idea of touching a vehicle and getting a fatal dose of nerve agent scared me and does so today. Chemical weapons are an actual threat and one that always sits in the minds of those who may get hit. Great video, I didn't like the description of the nerve agent actions on the victims (PTSD) but people need to know, persistent nerve agents can kill way after an attack, from just touching a contaminated area. Could be your car, your window, whatever. This is true horror beyond belief.

[@lucasberg2667]

I never really understood why chemical weapons were such a taboo in warfare, I knew that it was a really bad weapon and inflicted unnecessary suffering but I though you know war is war you use whatever weapons are at your disposal to win, there are no rules in war. But having watched your video I understand now that's truly horrific. Nuclear weapons are far more humane than gas. To use gas I think you must be truly evil.

[@ble688]

All NBC weapons are unnecessary brutal, in my eyes every unaimed weapon is

[@Breakingcraft]

Chemical weapons became such a taboo after WW1 due the horrific damages it made to the survivors. Even Hitler saw the horrors of chemical weapons and was against to use of them. Just read this horrifying account of the battle "Attack of the Dead Men", at the Osowiec Fortress, 1915-08-06: "The Germans became panicked by the appearance of the Russians, who were coughing up blood and bits of their own lungs, as the hydrochloric acid formed by the mix of the chlorine gas and the moisture in their lungs had begun to dissolve their flesh."

[@NicholasLaRosa0496]

Even Adolf Hitler was nervously sweating about using chemical weapons. Lol. Only because he was a victim himself, though.

[@Hebdomad7]

@@NicholasLaRosa0496 It's not that he didn't want to use chemical weapons against his enemies (he did so gleefully in his concentration camps). It's that he somewhat understood what conflict escalation was. The strategic bombing campaigns of the Battle of Britain showed whatever Germany threw at the Allies, the Allies were more than happy to throw double the amount back. Indiscriminate bombing of civilians seemed to strengthen a nations will to fight. An indiscriminate chemical weapons attack would end nations and make entire areas uninhabitable. Whilst Germany might have had the lead in chemical weapons, The British had biological weapons like Anthrax and were planning on using it (see Operation Vegetarian).

Hey what happened to your incredible ultimate guide to nuclear weapons? It is the best, most comprehensive documentary I’ve seen? Did they make you take it down ? ( sorta kidding)

[@tinto278]

Can you do Bioweapons next? WW1 we had Spanish Flue and know clandestine operations by the Germans on allied livestock. WW2 we had the advance R&D of bio weapons such as the plague, anthrax, syphilis and more. "biological threat agents" Cold war we had large-scale biological warfare R&D and weapons production programs. Biological terrorism was used in the 1980s in places like South Asia. In 1990s it was used in Japan. Al-Qaeda operatives have shown an interest in developing and using biological weapons. Anthrax was used just after 9/11. Information on the manufacture of biological weapons has been disseminated widely on the Internet. Bioweapons have the great advantage of plausible deniability.

[@checker297]

bioweapons could be truly devastating (i mean look at how the coronavirus pandemic has played out, with no country unaffected, even though it was likely just a random mutation jumping species). The good thing about them at least is they unlikely to ever be used for military use, more likely to be used as a weapon of terrorism as effective bioweapons will rapidly spread across the whole world and cause a man made pandemic. Bioweapons also can evolve on their own so any possible safeguards could be rendered useless by a random mutation and also it goes the other way where it could evolve into something without the capability to spread and thus become pointless. It also is extremely difficult to manufacture an effective bioweapon without being detected, while chemical weapons have much lower barriers of entry.

[@checker297]

@@tinto278 diseases jump from animals to humans all the time. Pathogens naturally do not want to kill their hosts, as it drives herd immunity much faster. However animal based pathogens often have unintended outcomes in humans as it is much more likely for something that would be a minor inconvenience for the animal host, will in turn be deadly in a human. That is why these diseases if successful in jumping, often become significantly less dangerous, however may become more resistant/spread more easily etc... I mean the common cold is a great example, it spreads with relative ease among humans, yet causes minor symptoms, while it could have previously related to something as deadly as the black death (something which jumped from rats to humans)

The gulf war syndrome just goes to show that even a mild dose is still disruptive to daily life. Chemical saturation was too low-level for the detectors to even pick up, yet soldiers were still disturbed by the symptoms for multiple years. I wonder what that feels like?

[@f0restmen]

The Czechs detected nerve and blister agents many times, because their equipment was at least one order of magnitude more sensitive than the US had on the field. Mobile labs of both nations could detect even lower levels, but those were too far away from the frontline and while they reached the spot of a detection the chemical already evaporated. These factors made the US think at the time, that the Czech devices gave false alarms, but this theory was proven wrong not much later.

As an aside, the Small Box Respirator is an interesting bit of kit. It is, unlike modern Gasmasks, not airtight. I have a reproduction example, and i can tell you it is an infernally uncomfortable piece of kit. So how does it work if its not airtight I hear people ask? You have two main parts, the box, which is where air is drawn in (and gives the name), it essentially acts as a filter. Then you have the mask, you have clip of mild spring steel that goes over the nose and essentially shuts the nose down. Then you have the tube which is basically like the most uncomfortable scuba mouthpiece you have ever encountered. As you can't breathe through the nose, you have to breathe through the mouth, and the box filters out the chemicals... mostly... So the legend that men started to remove their magnificent facial hair because of gas masks in WWI? That is a myth, as no WWI Gas mask was actually air tight, so the seal literally does not matter. The reason they shaved is rather more simple, and simultaneously more disgusting.... Lice....
