The Rhodesian CBW programme is little known. It formed part of a counter-insurgency campaign during the war of the 1960s-1970s.
Very lucky to have spoken with @CrossbowLlc, an expert on this programme.

If you think Russia was sincere about wanting to clarify and resolve concerns at the BWC Meeting, read this - & then compare to the questions posed at the meeting. Can’t tell whether they WANT to telegraph insincerity or are simply extraordinarily inept. undocs.org/bwc/cons/2022/wp.…

Russia keeps spreading lies about DTRA CTR programs forgetting they were an active participant in the program from 1996-2013. Hear about the former partnership in this video. youtu.be/vbI7qmDi_9M
