Well to be fair, Agent Orange wasn't ever dropped as a weapon, per se.

That depends if you count the war on trees as a real part of Vietnam.
It's like the war on Christmas just with way more casualties.

You have an odd idea of what is and isn't a weapon.

The ridiculous amount of landmines populating the DMZ will prevent that. It'll be China who have a refugee crisis to deal with.

So Carter Page was subject to a FISA warrant to monitor his communications.

This means there was strong evidence at least one member of the Trump team (admittedly in this case a minor one) was suspected of a being a foreign agent.

It wasn't dropped with the sole intent of killing people to be fair, however the use of it I still personally consider to be a disgusting war crime.

This is all getting a bit Sean Spicer. :lol:

"a weapon per se", "the sole intent of killing people". :dread:

I am just waiting for Livingstone/Spicer to announce that Hitler did not plan to gas the Jews per se, the sole attempt was to delouse and the gas was just a little bit more powerful than they thought...

Do you remember at school when two people that you knew fancied each other, would try and deny it and then end up insulting each other to try and prove to everybody that they didn't like each other? Sometimes they might even slap each other about a bit to show it wasn't love, they hated each other!

Yeah that's what's happening here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39573744

I don't like sounding like a conspiracy nut, but in this case you really don't know what the truth is, and the only way you would is if something were to happen between Russia and America. You cannot take anything at face value because there are sinister goings on. Maybe relations between America and Russia have soured. But then again, maybe they haven't. I know one thing, Putin's a lot smarter than Trump.

The president was explaining to Maria Bartiromo how he told Chinese President Xi Jinping that he carried out a targeted missile strikes on a Syrian airfield over dessert at Mar-a-Lago.

“I was sitting at the table,” Trump said. “We had finished dinner. We are now having dessert. And we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you’ve ever seen, and President Xi was enjoying it. And I was given the message from the generals that the ships are locked and loaded — ‘What do you do?’ — and we made a determination to do it, so the missiles were on the way. I said, ‘Mr. President, let me explain something to you.’ This was during dessert. ‘We have just fired 59 missiles,’ all of which hit by the way. Unbelievable from hundreds of miles away. What we have in terms of technology, nobody can even come close to competing. We are going to start getting it because the military’s been cut back and depleted so badly by the past administration, and by the war in Iraq, which was a disaster…”

“So what happens is I say we have just launched 59 missiles headed to Iraq…”

“Headed to Syria,” Bartiromo cut in.

“Yes, heading towards Syria, and I want you to know that. Because I didn’t want him to go home. He paused for ten seconds, and then he asked the interpreter to please say it again. He said to me, ‘Anybody that uses gases to do that to young children and babies, it’s okay.'”
