Like I have said several times before, the doctrine of Russia is to use chemical weapons as a "conventional weapon" system. Sarin seems to be their favorite right now, but they've been known to use choking agents (phosgene is cheap to make and accessible) to get people NOT to hold their breaths and breathe the nerve agent. Another possibility is Trichothecene, not openly used much, but extremely effective. Once deployed, it has a 24-hour lifespan, so Russian troops can come in the next day. What do you have left? Skeletons. The machinery is unaffected, so are power plants, water purification, etcetcetc. With a 100% kill rate, be sure to watch for it in small areas first to see what the US says about it.
Does anybody have hope or expectations of a good outcome?
