The United States "will respond to any verified chemical weapons use in Idlib or elsewhere in Syria ... in a swift and appropriate manner," State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told reporters in Washington. Nauert said...Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov last week that Moscow — a military ally of Assad — would be held responsible.

“The United States “will respond to any verified chemical weapons use in Idlib or elsewhere in Syria ... in a swift and appropriate manner,””

Translation: “Jihadi defenders of Idlib, The United States is waiting for you to stage another embarrassingly fake gas attack so we can bomb your Syrian Army enemy for you”.

At some point, we’re not going to be able to keep doing this.

Why would the Russians and Syrians use banned weapons to finish of a dead adversary?

"At some point, we’re not going to be able to keep doing this."

Why is that?

"Why would the Russians and Syrians use banned weapons to finish of a dead adversary?"

Russia telegraphed another Syrian intention to use chemical weapon a few days ago because of their plan to go after rebel units in Idlib. They use chemical weapons to try to scare the remaining rebels into quitting.

They’re winning. Against groups that we are supporting.

The only use that makes logical sense of a WMD is for “our guys” to use it and make it look like the Russians did.

Our terrorists are nearly dead. So, obviously we’d pop off some chems so we can airstrike Assad’s positions...after blaming it on Assad or the Russians.

The Russians were warning of a false flag, by our side.

Blaming it on them.

Baloney. You just made that up. Show us a source where Russia said they were going to use chemicals in Idlib.

They did actually warn of chems being used.

But that it wouldn’t be them.

I’m enjoying the revamped Battlestar Galactica series.

Helps me to recognize that we are all doomed in the end.

So dark.

So delicious.

Get some.

"The only use that makes logical sense of a WMD is for 'our guys' to use it and make it look like the Russians did."

I don't recall training for doing anything like that as a combat engineer in the Army National Guard. But maybe you're right. We should put that to the test by walling off California, moving our military forces there to other states and letting Russian troops do whatever they want there for a while. ...kind of a redo of East Germany at the end of World War 2, to see if it would be any more instructive the second time around. ;-)

Yes. CIA assets or whatever.

Tired of Kabuki Theater.

Tired of a lot of other things, but I don’t wish Google to store them for later.

“our guys”...in quotes.

Our terrorists.

Not active duty military.

Proxy.

Not a new concept. ;)

It’s a beautiful time. When we can sit and wallow and revel in the destruction of everything we know.
