This is how you destroy a chemical weapon

" What, actually, will be involved in destroying the weapons? + $35 billion so far. A lot, unsurprisingly. A lot of money, of time, of effort. The US itself, it’s worth remembering, has still not completed the task, began in 1980, of destroying the chemical weapons it amassed during earlier military efforts; last year, we, along with Russia, missed the deadline to have that work completed. The US effort has cost some $35 billion so far. Undertaking a similar task in the tumultuous context of a war-torn nation will be proportionally more difficult and expensive and confusing and, potentially, dangerous. It will be a challenge of vaguely Borgesian dimensions."
