A stunning update on Friday afternoon from the Associated Press said the Pentagon is investigating possible Russian participationin the Syrian regimes chemical weapons attack.
These officials also supported the dire suspicion that nearby hospitals were attacked to cover up evidence of the WMD deployment:
The officials say Russia has failed to control the Syrian governments use of chemical weapons. They say a drone belonging either to Russia or Syria was seen hovering over the site of the chemical weapons attack Tuesday after it happened. The drone returned late in the day as citizens were going to a nearby hospital for treatment. Shortly afterward, officials say the hospital was bombed.
The officials say they believe the hospital attack may have been an effort to cover up evidence of the attack. The officials werent authorized to speak publicly on the matter and demanded anonymity. They say theyre still reviewing evidence.
According to CNN, the Pentagon is particularly interested in whether a Russian warplane actually conducted the bombing run on the Khan Sheikhoun hospital where victims were receiving treatment within hours of the attack, with the aim of destroying evidence.
There have been conflicting reports about whether any Russian personnel or aircraft, particularly helicopters, were present at the Sharyat airbase.
However, the Fox News report also quotes U.S. officials who said between 12 and 100 Russian military personnel were present at the base, complete with their own barracks, which the U.S. took pains to avoid blowing up. If the chemical weapons attack on Idlib province was indeed conducted from the base, it would be very difficult for the Russians to argue they were unaware a war crime was in progress under their noses.

I know
Anyway, they were too dumb to read the early indications that that would not be the case. Indications such as his choice for VP and UN Ambassador, both of whom, as well as other top picks, including Jeff Sessions, are/were very staunch, outspoken critics of KGB Putin. No way would Trump have selected these fine folks to fill these critic spots if he did not agree 100% with them. L
Pence, in his excellent VP debate, laid out loud and clear what he thought of Putin and the increasingly aggressive, expansionist course he is taking Russia. That should have sent a powerful signal to these misguided losers, but they are too screwed up in the head to think rationally.
critic = critical
At some point fans of putin will have to come to grips with what an evil man he is.
