Wait a second, what’s in “Poisoning St. Louis”?
In Operation LAC, US Army engineers sprayed St Louis with radioactive particles, biological, and chemical agents over the course of several decades to see how long term NBC and fallout damage affected civilian population centers, and the human body.
The sprayed anthrax, zinc sulfide (highly radioactive), and various chemical weapons from planes, and from dispersal trucks parked on the downward slope of the mountain overlooking the city.
The targets were primarily schools, hospitals, elderly care facilities, and residential areas, as they contained the largest amount of targets.
This was part of a larger experiment as well. Other targeted cities include, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Corpus Christi, Springfield, Detroit, Toledo, Toronto, and Vancouver these are the ones the Army had admitted to as they covered up most of the operation.
Other tested areas include vague references to “All states east of the Rocky’s”, “Entire Mississippi delta”, “Native American reservations”, and “The entire Canadian border”.
They also covered the entire North Eastern cost of Britain.
Damn, why would they do that on Americans instead of infiltrating some shithole country we already had tensions with?
And what is your criteria for this wondrous label?
Why not? Less logistics.
Because proles are proles and you may be racist enough to think your western lives are worth more but when it comes right down to it, to the bourgeoisie who rule the west consider all proletariat as expendable by their nature for profit or in this case for offense and defense of their empires.
So your objections to spraying poison on an entire city were not based on it being wrong, but because it was done to Americans. "Shithole countries" are fine targets for poison spraying. If that comment wasn't a bit, nice morality you've got there.
