Pesticides ARE nerve agents. Cholinesterase inhobitors (nerve agents) were
first developed in Germany as pesticides.
This is the problem with non-proliferation efforts. So much of this stuff is
dual use, it’s hard to track legitimate use of WMD production material.
Pesticide factory and pesticide ingrediants=Nerve Gas Factory
Pharmaceutical plant involved in live agent vaccine or antibiotic
manufacturing= Bioweapons plant.
Machine tools used for computerized machining of metal to high tolerances=
Nuclear weapons production facility.
No wonder Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty and other similar treaties are so
hard to enforce, ANY modern or semi-modern nation has the inherent
industrial base needed to produce WMD. All that is needed is the political
will to do so.
