Really disgusting, using defoliants on crops. It’s chemical warfare.
I agree, but are chemical or biological agents that target livestock or crops actually categorized as chemical or biological weapons under existing conventions? Where do they draw the line?
Well if you look at the effects that were caused in Vietnam in the population, definitely.

I don’t know what the international law says. I think it’s legal. I know Israel sprayed defoiliants in Gaza recently.
