Syria is winning the war. Why would they ruin it by using chemical weapons? Now the rebels would benefit from a chemical attack on their own people. Seems like it’s working.
Despite Russian aid, the Syrian government controls a rump state around the wrecked cities of Damascus and Homs.

Yeah, it’s working just as Putin planned. He wants Russia’s geopolitical opponents divided and fighting amongst themselves. Judging by this thread he is clearly succeeding.
Chemical weapons are used as a last resort, and SAA have the "moderate rebels" surrounded.
Any school kid can do the math and figure out who killed those civilians.
