| Topic | serious question: sean spicer said that not even hitler used chemical weapons |

As far as I know the vast majority of those executed were not PoWs. So yeah. Somebody else can correct me though. It's a stupid as shit point to make, but I do think it is at least a point. There is a distinction. As many people like to point out, the fact that the international community is so harsh on chemical weapons is largely an arbitrary distinction, so you need to be precise when dealing with it. Torturing and killing your own people is fine, but chemical weapons on the battlefield is not. It sucks, but from a cynical perspective preventing the use of chemical weapons on the battlefield is a realistic goal, so it's worthwhile to try and prevent it. Bringing up Hitler is stupid though. Particularly as 20 years before Hitler you had both chemical weapons employed by both sides in the preceding war. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
