IDK, but this quick response from Russia just makes me suspect them.
Not a simple place, Syria.
This pathetic attempt even by some on this board to pretend like there is a distinction between Sunni’s and Shiites, between Assad’s Baathists/Hezbollah and the “rebels” — is irritating. All of the above are awful. Putin is awful. And it’s sad that we can’t just leave without potentially regretting it down the line because the hole has already been dug so deep by years and years of prior failed policies in the region.
A rebel attack on Aleppo has left dozens suffering of breathing problems and blurred vision, with a smell of gas reported over the city, according to Syrian media. Officials said all of the victims were civilians.
At least 50 people have been treated for symptoms including breathing difficulties and blurred vision in Aleppo, after rebels fired shells into two regions of the city.
Syrian officials and residents suspect the shells contained poisonous gas, with symptoms suggesting chlorine, according to medical official Haj Taha.
A doctor told Syrian state TV on Saturday that at least two people, including one child, were in critical condition.
Other reports indicate 1 death.
The photo of the three Russian soldiers (taken by TASS), looks like an old one. Notice the rust on the metal object and the rust/aging on the shell cartridge (not the projectile which would hold the gas).
Any one for “FAKE NEWS”? Who does Tass think it is, CNN?
It’s Syria....nothing is as it seems.
Syria is not simple, but if you know who was marketing ISIS oil, you pretty much know the game. And if you notice refugees going home after Assad takes a town, again, you know the game. There were a lot of good reasons to want Assad gone, but Obama squandered them by signing on to the plan led by the Turks.
The Russians are as believable as the Syrians...
