I quite agree. I’m trying to imagine how and in what circumstances a country that developed a weapon like this would ever use it. You can’t exactly deploy it indiscriminately on the battlefield without drawing international condemnation, causing worldwide alarm, and getting sanctioned out of existence for even having it. It would instantly receive the same treatment as chemical and biological weapons.
There really seems to be limited use for such a weapon, which I’m pretty sure is why the US military never mass produced one. The only way to deploy it would be by stealth much like the way it’s being used now, but to what end? Ending the US rapprochement with Cuba during the Trump administration does appear to be the only plausible objective here. Unless someone is still in the testing stages of developing this new weapon and decided US embassy personnel in Cuba were the most expendable guinea pigs for experimentation, which would explain why when it was deemed too risky to continue tests on US embassy staff for fear of detection, they moved on to target Canadians.
I wouldn’t be shocked if Ol Vlad the Plutonium One didn’t initiate - who besides Cuban hard-liners might not want Cuban-American rapprochement - gee, I wonder.
I’m not sure what’s wrong with reading too much Spy vs. Spy but be that as it may, I’d say maybe half of the Cold War era diplomats I’m met have told variations of a rearranging furniture story. Both sides invested significant resources in spying during the Cold War and sometimes it spilled over into every day life, perhaps more so before most surveillance was human, not digital.
Oh, and another thing. We used to have a smoke alarm in the kitchen that would send me into a rage when it went off with its high frequency. And the TV emergency testing 30 seconds of high frequencies rip into me. Can’t take it!
This sounds familiar. There haven’t been any members of the SLMPD in Cuba when these attacks occur, are there? Maybe on an investigation, or a fact-finding mission or something?
