That’s basically every countries foreign policy at the minute. Russia and Assad are allowed to do as they please.
It's not Putin and Assad making threats of war with absolutely zero evidence though, is it. Remember when world leaders needed evidence stronger than a few moving images with captions such as "child struggling to breathe!!". Zero doctors or specialists in sight to verify their injuries, in an area that's being bombed to high heaven already. The west's elites are so desperate for war it's almost comical - even Trump's let his mask slide with his latest barrage of Tweets.
Seriously, there has been
zero independent investigation as to whether or not this latest chemical strike was in fact conducted by Assad's forces. Could it be that one of the many "freedom fighter" groups operating in the area conducted the attack themselves to ward off the Assad/Russian airforce? We're already sure that the majority of them are in possession of such weapons themselves, or could easily acquire them. Or perhaps the strike didn't even take place at all, and the "victims" are mere actors (as was suspected with the last attack, where their poor acting was visible even through static images). How many of you can tell chemical wounds from those of an airstrike? How can you tell where these images are from, and of what time period they were taken in? God forbid we actually do any
slight investigation before threatening war with a nuclear-capable nation.
But nah - non of those scenarios would appease our Saudi masters. Better send the heavy bombers to Syria, Donald!
Oh and Assad's almost won the war already. Why would he suddenly now resort to chemical weapons, attacking an area where his own troops are stationed? So naive. Shame on you.
