N Korea 'providing materials to Syria chemical weapons factories'
BBC ^

Posted on 02/27/2018 5:59:09 PM PST by BenLurkin

The materials include acid-resistant tiles, valves and pipes, reports say.

An as-yet-unreleased UN report also says Pyongyang's missile specialists have been seen at Syrian weapon-making facilities, the New York Times says. The allegations come after fresh reports of chlorine gas being used by Syrian forces, which the regime denies. North Korea is under international sanctions over its nuclear programme.

The supplies reported to have been illicitly sent to Syria by North Korea included high-heat, acid-resistant tiles, corrosion-resistant valves and thermometers. The tiles are said to be used to construct facilities where chemical weapons are produced.

Five shipments were sent to Syria via a Chinese trading firm during late 2016 and early 2017, the Wall Street Journal says. They are allegedly part of dozens of shipments over several years.

The Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC) - a Syrian government agency - is said to have paid North Korea via a number of front companies, the newspaper reports.

Do not be surprised if this is bullshit provided to the UN by discontented Neocons in US Intelligence.

Norklandia and Syria?

That’s a reach.

It’s not like Norklandia OR Syria have any extra money.

I see no proof here. I see allegations to try to support illegal aggression on a sovereign state. Let the UN send their forces if this is not fabricated. Did you know that there were never chlorine gas attacks by Syria on its own citizens. The Chlorine gas was used by isis not Assad. The allegation is that Syria got”tiles, valves and pipes, reports say.” are you kidding me? This is NEO CON BS!!

It’s a slam dunk. When is Colin Powell scheduled to address the UN with his evidence?

If Trump bites on this BS he is not near as intelligent as I thought he was. This reminds me of “Yellow Cake” from Nigeria going to iraq. Total fabrication resulting in 5000 dead , 40,000 wounded Americans and $5 trillion totally blown on a lie( not including PTSD). What a farce.

This report appears to be more directed to Syria than N. Korea. N. Korea has been doing this with many countries for years, and we don't need an additional justification to make a case against NK.

Al Qaeda in Syria (which is known to possess chlorine & to have used it in Syria) is far too ethical to use chlorine again to induce the US to strike Al Qaeda’s mortal enemy, the Syrian government. Far too ethical.

We must trust the New York Slimes, Deep State & NeoCon warmongers, as we have in the past.

Us intelligence agencies were weaponized by the socialists to be used against Americans to benefit the socialists. It is so outrageous that those who were involved should be tried and publicly hung by the neck until dead.

The BBC is fake news. They are part of the lamestream media pushing for the ouster of Assad.

If we could just get Putin and Assad and Kim in the same place we would be able to just bomb them in one trip. Rather than the several different wars we are going to have over the next couple of years.

**I wish I could believe this stuff. It sounds like CIA propaganda to me. It sounds like a set up to make the US population think any war with Russia would be an easy win.

Why do they want us in a war with Russia? **

** If we could just get Putin and Assad and Kim in the same place we would be able to just bomb them in one trip. Rather than the several different wars we are going to have over the next couple of years. **

So, your reply on this thread was sarcasm, right?
As a supporter of the legitimate government in Syria, I wish Trump would do what he said when campaigning, and get the USA out of Syria.

Sorry...

I no longer believe any news reports, or any USA government reports, that claim Syria is producing or using chemical weapons.

Every “witness” or “expert” on this subject is anti-Assad.

I have no agenda for or against Assad.

He's a bad dude, and he actively works with other bad dudes from Iran and Hezbollah.

On the other hand, he's like every other small country dictator in world history.

He prefers not to be dragged naked through the streets of Damascus behind a cheap motorcycle, so he's willing to fight to the death, with the assistance of anyone who volunteers to fight with him.

Before Obama started this catastrophe, Assad had a relatively peaceful relationship with Israel for the previous 10 years.

Who are the USA morons who decided that ISIS, or Al Qaeda, or the Muslim Brotherhood can offer better leadership than Assad?

If McCain and ilk are “Neo-Cons” , then Assad, Hezbollah and ilk are “Neo-NAZIS”

Newsflash: McCain is not president. Trump is. And you guys are still towing the Neo-Nazi line.

Join the party: “German Neo-Nazi Party Builds Alliance with Assad and Hezbollah”

And what is your news source dear Fungus? The Kremlin? Hezbollah TV? Or the latest Anti-Zionist Neo Nazi tripe coming out of Germany rallying for Assad?
