However, now recently, the assassination of North Korea's Great Leader's half-brother, Kim Jong Nam — we have an apparent use of a nerve agent, VX, used to kill him.
North Korea has stockpiles of chemical weapons that they could readily use in any number of ways. VX is a liquid and GB is a gas. Both are deadly nerve agents.
I'm wondering if WMD preparedness will once again be ramped up by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). All those PPE outfits that were purchased had a five-year shelf life. Thus, there would need to be another big push if we were to turn back to the heady days of WMD purchases.
How can we regionalize (really regionalize) WMD capabilities so that we are prepared, but don't waste public funds?
