[@whispjohn]

Robert Fisk, a well respected journalist from England was actually in Douma when it happened and he can be seen on film saying there was no chemical attack. He was attacked by the right wing press and he endured all manner of unpleasantness because of him revealing the truth they simply could not deny. Robert is so well known and respected they can't touch him. On R&U videos you can see the moment the Syrian Army are about to enter Douma and the commander of the attacking troops was actually saying, if there was gas here we would be wearing gas masks, they were 50 metres away from that area. Here is Robert Fisk in a podcast, sorry about the sound. Tell your good man there that Assad is not a murderer nor a war criminal, far from it. I enjoyed this talk until he said that, sorry but I have followed this war since it started and have seen how the Russians came in and took care of business and how the people in liberated towns were praising the Syrian Army and Assad and this was in all of those towns, for 2 years and is still going on. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH_GonWfocqUfrc

No Assad is not a war criminal. How do you define a war criminal? I am a Syrian and want to say that evrything blamed on Assad was pure allegations. He is actually far milder than what most Syrians want him to be defending Syria. Yes there are war casualties but the whole war was imposed on Syria.

[@yeska62]

You are absolutely correct. However, even critical people can be affected by the continuous propaganda of the corporate news media.

Hmm. I actually treated a Syrian man on a middle eastern humanitarian medical team who told us both of his sons were not only murdered, but “skinned alive”, one of many similar stories we heard for the 2 weeks we were there.

[@IaN09876]

@@justaguy1679: is that man sure that this was by orders from Assad? No way. There have been many stories like this were thugs pretended to be security services attacked and tortured people to blame it on Assad. My own uncle was kidnapped by apparently security agents and we found later that they were organised thugs paid to stir chaos. Syria in 2010 under Assad was the top safest countries in the world according to reports from the UN.

Makes perfect sense as Al Nisra/White Helmets were often found sharing the same city block in many towns and hospitals were known to be their first capture in a city. Control the hospital: control the narrative... What’s up with our intelligence not seeing this? Oh wait. That’s right. We supported the White Helmets along with the UK to the tune of 20 million and trained these ‘volunteers’ in Turkey. This was when I became very disenfranchised with the our government’s foreign involvement. Shoulda had a clue about that before but it was the nail in the coffin.

Don't forget that John Bolton made the first Director General of the OPCW, Brazilian diplomat Jose Bustani, quit his job in 2002, because Bustani was negotiating the removal of chemical weapons from Libya and Iraq, which the neocons needed as an excuse to start the Iraq war. "You have 24 hours to leave the organization, and if you don't comply with this decision by Washington, we have ways to retaliate against you," Bolton said. To drive the point home he added, in straight gangland fashion: "We know where your kids live."

Somewhere, right HERE on KZbin a year or so ago there was an interview with a retired munitions expert FROM the U S who (much simpler than all this technical stuff... which we don't hear here, anyway,) explains about the placement of the canister, the pothole in the road, the damage to the canister, that he assessed it was CLEARLY done, on purpose, from the ground, RATHER than coming from a rocket. The tell - tale point, from my view is: "Why should Assad have planned such an attack on the eve of negotiations? " It's just the same as why the Iranians would want to harm a Japanese vessel WHILE they are having talks with the Japanese, who are at the same moment, IN Iran. I cannot sniff chemicals from here, but I can sure smell a set-up... and Bolton.
