    Do you call out Israel in their use of white phosphorus, which I doubt ? Perhaps you could show I'm wrong

    Unlike you, I'm not a hypocrite. BTW perhaps you should look up my comments on the Russian invasion

    "Phenacyl chloride, also commonly known as chloroacetophenone, is a substituted acetophenone. It is a useful building block in organic chemistry. Apart from that, it has been historically used as a riot control agent, where it is designated CN.[5] It should not be confused with cyanide, another agent used in chemical warfare, which has the chemical structure CN−. Chloroacetophenone is thermally stable, and is the only tear agent that is distillable at ambient conditions."

    It tear gas.

    I didn't know. But I assume that both sides have enough blood invested that almost anything is on the table now. The Biden administration should've negotiated as soon as they took Kharkiv back (actually before Putin invaded, they should've recognized his legitimate concerns).
