Das Reich announced today that it would be spending upwards of a trillion USD boosting it's WMD stocks. On the announced list are:

20,000 Nuclear ICBMs
4,000 Nuclear Subs carrying up to 8 Nuclear Missiles, each with a yield of over 100 kilotons
16,000 Small Nuclear Missiles that can be delivered in a covert fashion with jets

And:

ICBMs filled with Small Pox, Plague, Ebola, and other nasty deceases.

I'm just glad we're allies ;)

OOC: Do you NEED that many Nuclear Weapons? That's like..gonna drain your economy to the maximum, producing that much. Plus, what's the point? One nuke is just good as thirty-eight when it hits the right place. Probably better.

Plus, Ebola is too fragile to be used as a biological weapon, I believe. I remember reading that a few governments tried to use it, but it would just die on them. Not very rigid.

OOC: Yeah I do. And those will be produced over a period of twenty or so years.

OOC: Jusss checking.

OOC: How are you going to work that out? The heat from the explosion will cook the virus to unusability, regardless of the container you put it in.

OOC: Who said the ICBMs would explode?

OOC: Who said the ICBMs would explode?

OOC: I think he's assuming that by ICBM, you mean nuclear weapon with biological agents inside. Which is fair, considering that an ICBM usually is a nuclear weapon, because of the massive expense it takes to build, program, set up, and finally launch.

Plus, you'd never fire enough ICBMs over the enemy's border to do tons of damage to them. They tried to do biological agents with artillery shells, once..and it takes A LOT of artillery shells to put even a somewhat lethal amount.

Edit: I shouldn't say NEVER. But it would be amazingly un-cost effective.

OOC: I am not going to turn this into a debate. My nation does what it wants.

TO: Tocrowkia

HA!

I can't wait to see your economy implode. In Moronyicka we have about 6 nukes to maintain. That leaves money for more important things like planes, ships and tanks.
You lame nation really does amuse us.

Ah well, I guess we'll just have to send in some special forces and detonate your WMDs in your county

Good luck.

Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Grand Imperium of Risban is disturbed to hear of this news. That type of arsenal could never be meant for purely defense. One only builds up nuclear and biological weapons when one is expecting war.

So tell us, dear people of Tocrowkia: Who are you planning on devastating and torturing so?
