I hear rumor that Kim Jong has executed 3 of his doppelganger assasination decoy clones, for "trying to look like the glorious leader"

If it's true, soon he will start executing the military for trying to protect the Glorious Leader who is, obviously, invincible.

Blame Saints Cyril and Methodius, their Bulgarian followers and Greek missionaries sent to Kievan Rus for the creation and spread of those backwards, upside down, inside-out letters to 'crazy' Russians.
Also, be glad that the Glagolitic script didn't become widespread and was replaced by simpler Greek-derived Cyrillic script.

Freud would have a field day with Glagolitic script.

For some reason I thought "Problem solved." when I read that.

The main problem with using nukes to conquer territory is the same reason why people don't use chemical weapons en masse to do so.

Both those weapons render the territory gained useless.
Chemical weaponry less than nukes. Poison gas just kills everyone/everything, nukes have tendency to destroy infrastructure as well.
I thought that the reasons you don't normally use chemical weapons, international treaties aside, was because they're: hard to control once you release them(ie wind may shift), tend to hit unintended targets(civilian village instead of enemy army due to aforementioned wind shift), and that most military force you would use them against that you couldn't defeat with conventional weapons would likely be equipped with some form of protection against them.

Chemical =/= biological weaponry.

And yeah, the wind is problematic. Protection no that much, as your average gasmask won't bother most poison gasses that much.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

And Chemistry is just applied Physics. Therefore, a gun counts as biological warfare.

If you count the soldier behind it, sure, why not? But sociology and psychology want a word with you, and they don't look very happy...
