This is a preposterous defense of white phosphorous (an allotrope of the element that spontaneously ignites in air). Of course it's a chemical weapon; it just burns you to death before the toxicity can kick in. What a shameful series of tweets. https://twitter.com/luke_j_obrien/status/986024841370394624 …
My point is the CWC is an arbitrary line across a broad class of substances that are not significantly different in mode of action or toxicity. Contrast the situation with biological or nuclear weapons, where there really is a bright line. Please also hold off on the insults

I do think your analysis is shameful, but you yourself are probably a great guy, and you obviously know what you're talking about.
