At some point we need to stop supplying these nerve agents - it’s a WAR CRIME to do so, regardless of how mad we might be at Russia.

Go fight your damn self if you feel so strongly about Assad.

Indeed, why is not Cankles over there slugging it out? Or Øbozo prancing around local Syrian bathhouses community organizing.

This IS their war after all. I do not want American OR Russian kids killed for stupid globalist games started by those leftist traitors.

Don’t change headlines!! It’s against FR rules, and you made the headline much less informative by leaving out Syria.

Apart from the static you get from various governments for using NBC ordnance, there’s also the cost of maintaining a chemical capability on top of domestic conventional munitions manufacturing. I gotta wonder whether the incremental cost of cement and rebar vs maintaining a chemical capability makes any sense, given the economic sanctions that come with chemical weapon usage, when you consider the very limited use of these munitions. Most of what they’re using is HE artillery shells - so why gin up this international uproar by using chemical weapons? For an eye doctor, Assad is either not very bright or autistic.

This is a manufactured pretext.

It’s time the manufacturers were exposed and prosecuted.

That’s what I was thinking. Who wants us to stay in Syria? Saudi say they’ll pay us to stay.

*** Of course there’s no way this could be the work of the jihadis we’ve been financing. ***

The Douma pocket in East Ghouta. Yesterday Jaish Al Islam, our moderate rebels, had a leadership squabble, and had a shootout with each other.

Today, a gas attack. I think I see which side of the leadership won.

Has anyone watched the videos of the chemical lab w/ over 24,000 tons of chemicals uncovered in Ghouta during it’s liberation?

The city under a city- offices, prisons, torture chambers uncovered beneath Ghouta within the tunnel system connecting towns. Built by prisoners, these tunnels are large enough for trucks. Wish my tax dollars would go to US infrastructure instead of to underground cities for Neocon supported jihadi’s infrastructure.

“You are on a paid mission for someone, and it’s time you told us who that is.”

This guy has been a rabid HATE ANYTHING RUSSIA troll since the Ukraine Civil War days.
I pegged this one as a proto-Omidyar drone early on, probably IRF OR some-such.

I don’t believe this s*** for a minute. False flag to try to draw Trump back in just as he is planning to take our troops out

Such information came out after Trump expressed the intention to pull troops out of Syria.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.

By all accounts, the Gov forces were closing the noose on the rebels after they blew up the cease-fire killing a bunch of pro-gov civilians.

So WHY, if that is true, would the Gov forces resort to chem when t s not needed, and knowing what the reaction to it would be.
