that be us (N.A.T.O). Massed artillery assault had been an optimal Marxist policy when it was possible for an offensive. Nerve agents such as GA and GB were developed first by the Germans for world war one, and then by the British in counterpoint-with Americans lagging behind with the invention of VX. Nerve agent is fundamentally concentrated insect poison, and kills with a minimal dose upon skin contact or inhalation in under 60 seconds. One needs to have an atropine auto injector to stab oneself in the thigh very quickly to have any chance of survival if contact is made.

Nerve agents are the best tool for lunatics using chemical war agents for anything besides defense against invaders from the Dystopian Galaxy. They are easy for chemical producers to manufacture,but a pain to store, conceal and deliver outside of a military context. The United States had an only in retaliation to chemical attack policy. There are of course other nerve agents such as one might get from eating bad clams full of little dinoflagellates of a red tide. They too cause paralysis of the autonomous system signals for breathing and one suffocates. Military nerve agents may produce twiitching, more than nervous twittering, convulsions and remarkable deleterious changes. Lets move on to blood agents...

Blood agents are another chemical tool for war developed fairly early. Hydrogen cyanide was invented in 1782. The French used it in world war one quite a lot. The Japanese in Unit 731 did tests with it on live people and in China used it in war probably several times (36) between 1938 and 1941. Soviets stockpiled hydrogen cyanide for the second world war (aka .Great Patriotic War) but did not use it. Mustard Gas, another popular chemical agent from the first world war was also not used in the second by either side. Everyone remembered how bad the first world war exposure tio chemical agents was-even Adolph Hitler who got hit pretty well in the eyes by something and said 'my eyes felt like hot coals burning through' while in hospital missing the offensive that might have got him killed (in world war one).

The french tested AC (hydrogen cyanide) on dogs, and reported "In order that the experiment might be as fair as possible and that my respiration should be relatively as active as that of the dog, I remained standing, and took a few steps from time to time while I was in the chamber. In about thirty seconds the dog began to get unsteady, and in fifty-five seconds it dropped on the floor
