Youtube Summary
A recently uncovered bombshell dossier suggests Chinese scientists have been “preparing” for a Third World War fought with “biological and genetic weapons – including coronavirus,” according to Sky News host Alan Jones.

“The paper by Chinese scientists describes these biological weapons as the core for victory and outlines the ‘perfect’ conditions to release them,” he said.

“The documents obtained by US investigators indicate, presumably at the direction of President Xi, a complete lack of regulation in China’s laboratories, and that the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology has been collecting numerous coronaviruses from bats ever since the SARS outbreak in 2002.”

Mr Jones questioned where the “collective Western leadership” is to “lay it on the line and challenge China to come clean”.

“The biggest weapon available to China today is an incoherent and cognitively deprived President of the United States,” he said.

“Coronavirus may well be the thin edge of the wedge. Is coronavirus a preliminary test of this new biological strategy?

“Do we have the scholarship in our parliaments to deal with this? I suspect not.”

I have not read the paper the video is referencing. But, I assume all major military papers would discuss the biological weapons to a certain extent. Actually implementing is the scary part

Part of "mutual annihilation" during the cold war was that every nation knew full scale invasions and annexation were a thing of the past. Both nations knew full well if their hegemony was at stake, they would launch their nuclear weapons at a minimum of self preservation, at a maximum of causing severe attritional losses to the victor. Which is why the nations on the offensive tend to not want the other nation backed into a corner. So it's a weird game of war chess where you want them at a point where the know something like that is the only way out but they can still negotiate and save face.
