If the rebels used the chemicals against civilians, they’ll do it again, hoping President Trump hits Assad’s Syria again...
On the other hand, if Assad used the weapons against the civilians and Trump destroyed his chem munitions available, it won’t happen again....
But we both know that that isn't the way the world works. The narrative will be that 'sneaky Assad somehow did it again' and 'let's bomb him'.
The Ghouta atrocity was revealed - by MPs in the Turkish parliament! - to be a Turkish false flag.
The Khan Sheikoun incident - carried out just as Assad's forces had cleared another fanatic enclave - is vastly more likely to have been an Al-Nusra operation than an Assad one.
But no - our media and governments are simply not interested. They have a compelling interest in deposing Assad, and they don't care what it costs in blood and treasure.
So I have no confidence that people will start getting the message even after a dozen more false flags. Assad will be winning a fight, or Trump will declare a withdrawal from Syria - and then another mysterious gassing will occur.
Not true, Assad still has more chem weapon "capability" than do the rebels, can rebuild / resupply (esp. if Iran assists), and may (may) consider the losses acceptable.
