Such weapons of mass destruction certainly are useless also against ISIS terrorists. Not even those formidable- and often murderously misguided drones - seem to terrify the terrorists.
What good are these weapons ? They do back up the New Colonialism. I read where we are even hiding tanks in caves in Norway. Getting ready for World War III ?
