We could tell them, but would they listen? I doubt they even care about that specific concern due to what their actions tell us. Reply

Chemical weapons. That has been a possibility for 100+ years. People and armies generally don't do that for 'reasons'. Reply

The 1925 Geneva Protocol and 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention both made the use of chemical and biological weapons a war-crime. Seeing as how the US likes to invade when WMD are involved, most countries don't use them. Reply

One of them has nuclear weapons. After the latest Epic Failure "non-war" forever war, I wouldn't be surprised if many countries want to go nuclear! Reply

After the latest Epic Failure "non-war" forever war, I wouldn't be surprised if many countries want to go nuclear! Yeah. The old rules aren't really there any more. We are now living in a multi-polar world where wars are popping off left and right. Countries want to be protected so new alliances are forming outside of the normal spheres of influence. It's quite scary that nations are talking more about nukes instead of toning it down. What could go wrong? 🙁 Reply

rluker5 So a land based truck drone that can carry a literal ton of ammo and can shoot more than drones. A cheaper and more mobile version would be with an ATV. With different bullets for different applications. A plausible use for local AI. Will probably come with the same flaws. Reply
