| Sep 19, 2019 at 9:08 | comment | added | Ventifacts and Yardangs | Yeah, that definitely helps the destructive aspect of it. I just want to point out that if you go down the list of answers starting at the most-upvoted, this is the first one that actually works. Not that that matters to anyone else :P | |

I edited my answer to add other layers to the destruction, such as sterilization, and another way to maximize casualties | |

Said enemies will see these coordinated/targeted attacks and note that they are all being targeted and the US and its allies are mysteriously untouched. Cue nuclear retaliation. Cue nuclear re-retaliation. Cue mutual, and likely global, destruction. | |

For someone as skilled as our guy, sure, I could see them poisoning millions, maybe tens of millions this way. Seems amply destructive, but I don't see the ploy of pitting nuclear neighbors against each other working. Namely, poison attacks are not how any of these countries operate, and anyway if you set these up in cities all over the world, it'll be obvious to any Indian, for instance, that Pakistan wasn't responsible. Still, +1 for being the most destructive yet reliable plan so far. | |
