Why?
Assad has won. There may be a few small holdouts, but why would he risk everything, for them. These Middle Eastern rulers aren’t as dumb as some want them to be. And one of the reason’s they rule the way they do, is because they have to. Assad doesn’t want anymore outside involvement. He knows that by doing something like this, he risks outside involvement. But, so does his opposition. They just have to be the victims and point the finger at him in the hopes that they world will take him out. They’re getting someone else to do their dirty work, since they have failed.
Assad gains absolutely nothing by using chemicals against his own people.
The war drums are beating louder and louder in the media. This just screams false flag provocation by those who have lost to Assad. Why would Assad do this, particularly after we cruise missiled his forces from the last alleged chemical attack? Will the deep state intelligent community lead Trump into another attack? Will we get a free shot like last time or will American sailors and pilots get fired on while we act as proxies for other forces.
