Obviously, ISIS is flying helicopters and dropping chemical-filled bombs in a clever ploy to dirty assad’s name. We all know he’d never do this. Possibly Soros filled the bombs, and McCain flew the choppers.

My guess: False flag to try to derail support for Assad. I despise the man, but he had no reason to do this, while his opposition can expect a big win from killing their own children.

No, Assad personally flew the lead helicopter and John McCain has already delivered a dossier to the Washington Post

This is all so over-the-top. Deep state must be terrified of something that is going to happen soon.

Only a moron would believe Assad or Putin would want to use chem weapons in Syria...what would they gain?

They learned from 2013 and this one will be much better orchestrated
To the point of using helicopters similar to,those in the Syrian inventory or even captured helo’s flown by defectors
Putin is going to be angry with his erstwhile buddy in Turkey

War Criminal Assad benefits by killing large numbers of civilians in the most terrible way to satisfy the blood lust his supporters, that he killed as many of their enemies as possible while he still coud and thus retain power.

Other than the U.S. and British governments and their complacent talking heads in the media, let’s see how many maroons are buying this

It’s surprising how many commenters in various forums are not buying this

The gang is sure pressuring Trump to make a blood kill to show he’s part of them

Yah sure
These areas are filled with ISIS and Nusra who fled from aleppo and were spared due to “ humanitarian evacuations” brokered by the usual suspects
It was only a matter of time until they tried to reopen a front in western Syria
Only a few actors benefit by this and their white helmet crew is out there making videos

"Deep state and Israel are sure working hard..."

I doubt those two entities have EVER been on the same page. With anything.

The rebels launched a bold raid deep in Damascus just two weeks ago. Bombs reportedly fell on the presidential palace. That would explain why now. Assad could be going after the families of the rebel leaders whom he can’t pinpoint exactly.

I think Israel would want to see Russia (and USA) out of Syria ASAP. They both just complicate Israel’s northern (north-eastern) border security.

‘Chlorine-filled Barrel Bombs on Hama’

Either the article is an outright lie, or the journalist writing this garbage does not know what he’s talking about.,

Chlorine, unless in bleach liquid form, is never in a barrel. This is a pressurized gas that must be in a thick walled cylinder capable of holding pressures of 28 to 190 PSI.

If in a barrel, the barrel could hold very little as the pressure has got to be around atmospheric just to keep the barrel from popping while on the aircraft.

If in a cylinder, the cylinder would have to land in such a way as to rupture. Maybe this is what happened, but there is so much fake news, I simply do not buy into any of this, especially considering the source.
