Hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese were killed in\nindiscriminate chemical weapons attacks. These were aimed at civilians. A few\nother countries have also used chemical weapons after the lead of this nation.\nHowever, their use comes nowhere near the massive use by this particular\ncountry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having\nused all forms of weapons of mass destruction, this country has the audacity to\nblame others for the COVID-19 crisis. Is this some kind of a joke?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\nis most worrisome is this country used all these weapons of mass destruction in\nAsia. Seems like the decision makers of this country consider Asians to be\nlesser human beings. Although this country publicly announced they have given\nup chemical and biological weapons, others have raised serious doubts about\nthese claims. Most likely they still do have WMD programs. Others must not\nlower their guard and need not stick to their commitments to stop or curtail\nbiological and chemical weapons. They may be the only means to keep the\naggressor at bay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kumar Moses There is only one country in the world that has used nuclear weapons in anger.
