Bio-terrorism is way more effective at destroying an economy.

Let's just hope that enemies of America don't see this as the new way to destroy the enemy.

Are you saying the Chinese committed bio-terrorism?

Is Iran involved?

No, I'm saying that everyone is seeing how effective this has been, regardless of if it was intentional or not.

Big bad America itching to take on the rest of the world eh. Some humility may be in order. Empires rise. They call. America will be no different.

Hopefully when they fall they dont take us down with them...you know by starting a full out war with the new global leader.

Most of the China conspiracy theory is based on their awe strucked asses watching the Chinese response, getting a handle on the situation and now watching the US bumbling their way to some kind of reaction. A lot of their energy will be spent on sending tax payers money to their pet corporations with some crumbs for the average joe.

Only totalitarian regimes can shut down a large city like the Chinese, did.

Big scary word, but the reality is they are lifting their people out of poverty while the freedom loving capitalist society is driving theirs into it.

If given a choice, would you live in China over Canada?

In reply to black

I have not been to either of those places...most of my info about them is based on a biased media, I would probably need first hand experience to make a good decision.

A word of caution. If any country which thinks it can use bio-terrorism to destroy the economy of another, it should use the Covid-19 experience and have a big re-think..

In a globalized and interconnected world what happens within the confines of your border does not take long to present itself elsewhere and ultimately across the globe. People become impacted and therefore economies become impacted; a vicious cycle gets into motion and where it stop few, if anybody, would know or predict for sure.

So what should be one of the lessons from the Covid19 experience? Don’t go there, don’t even think about it. Use that money developing these otherwise useless weapons, unless a mad man or woman is looking for Armageddon, to provide better healthcare and outcomes for your citizens, use it to create a better environment for your future generations, and use some of it to create better living conditions for “the least of these” among us.

I pretty much said the same on another thread. Biological weapons are are hard, if not impossible to control.

But, would the terrorists try this tactic to inflict heavy damage on a Western City, even if it means they might be affected, also?
