Chloropicrin is often used as an herbicide. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), exposure to its vapors can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and, if inhaled, internal organs.

It's rather easy to make. Most herbicides, pesticides and fungicides are used at extremely low concentrations by homeowners.

It does not sterilize soil and is destroyed by sunlight thus doesn't linger to harm invaders. It can damage older type gas masks. I see where it is often used followed by methyl bromide in agriculture.

Now do housing

1980 housing is mostly hood rat size for today. Housing today has fancier and more costly appliances too.

Apples to oranges once again. Mortgages are way less expensive than 1980 even at today's higher rates.

Once again you fail to understand that the cost of money is a major factor in final cost.

Just stop with this side bullshite!

For average people, life has generally gotten worse over the last 40 years. These people have seen their wages stagnate, their communities decline, and their health get much worse.

"I'm Not Ruling Anything Out" - Macron Says Troops for Ukraine Possible if Russia Breaks Front Lines

Some analysts believe that Russia could be on the verge of launching a major new offensive in Ukraine.

French President Emmanuel Macron has reaffirmed that he doesn't rule out sending troops to Ukraine if Russia breaks through Ukrainian front lines and Kyiv requests such assistance.

In an interview with The Economist, Macron stated that the possibility of sending troops would "legitimately" arise in such a scenario.

Macron's comments come in the wake of rising tensions amid concerns that Russia may launch a major new offensive in Ukraine.

Some analysts believe that Russia could be on the verge of launching a major new offensive in Ukraine.

"I'm not ruling anything out, because we are facing someone who is not ruling anything out," said Macron when asked if he stood by comments earlier this year not excluding the sending of Western troops that sent shockwaves around Europe.

He emphasized that if Russia were to escalate its actions, it would force all European leaders to consider sending troops.

"If Russia decided to go further, we will, in any case, all have to ask ourselves this question" of sending troops, describing his refusal to rule out such a move as a "strategic wake-up call for my counterparts," Macron said.

French president described Russia as "a power of regional destabilisation" and a significant threat to European security.

Furthermore, he outlined his strategic objective, stating that Russia cannot be allowed to win in Ukraine.

"I have a clear strategic objective: Russia cannot win in Ukraine," Macron said.

"If Russia wins in Ukraine, there will be no security in Europe.

The Kyiv Post

The quality of leaders in the West is really low. You're talking about people who aren't that smart, aren't that well educated, and on a fundamental level usually aren't serious people. On the other hand, they're almost always cowards though, and so they really avoid taking risks.

I do think we should be concerned about the possibility of a really dumb mistake. On the other hand, France did apparently invite Russia to the ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landing, and they wouldn't have done that a year ago. Relations were too poor.
