The White House commented on information on the use of chemical weapons by Turkey in Syria

In Washington, they are aware of Damascus’s claim against the Turkish army in connection with the use of chemical weapons against the Kurds in Afrin, but consider this unlikely, reports RIA News statement by White House spokesman Michael Anton.

Earlier, Syrian State Agency SANA, referring to the hospital director Afrin Joan Mohamad, reported that the Turkish military had used toxic substances in the Syrian Afrin region, as a result of which 6 people were hospitalized with asthma symptoms.

We are familiar with these messages, we can not confirm them. However, we believe it is highly unlikely that the Turkish forces used chemical weapon. We continue to urge (parties) to show restraint and protect civilians in Afrin,

reported Anton.

Recall that from January 20 Turkey is conducting an “Olive Branch” operation in Syrian Afrinne, directed against Kurdish formations. Together with the Turkish army, there are detachments of the "Syrian Free Army".

According to the Turkish Defense Ministry, published on Saturday, 1595 "terrorists" were destroyed in total during the hostilities, to which the Turkish authorities include both members of the Kurdish militia and ISIS militants (the group is banned in the Russian Federation).

Not bad urine ...

It's modern Turks. Achievements should be divided by twenty, and their official losses multiplied by five.
At the expense of chemical weapons - modern NATO is guided by the principle of "while you win cheaply and honestly, you have to play fair"so that until they are pressed there, there will be no chemical weapons. The genocide of civil Kurds will be" quietly ", but they will be blamed on the Kurds and Assad. But when they are pressed, they will go dirty methods, but again they will dump on others

I don’t know about the losses of the Kurds. But what about their losses. It is impossible to hide it in Turkey. They are proud of their martyrs. The whole city is participating in the funeral. It’s not for you to shut up about Wagner. Think about who is hiding his losses. Although not state. Organization

Speaking of Wagner. SDF spokesman Nasser Haji Mansour explains why the US attacked PMC fighters:

Those. Americans, with their inherent arrogance, believe that the territories and oil fields belong to America. The banal logic of the Anglo-Saxons is "mine is mine and yours is mine too."
As for the dead fighters of PMC "Wagner", the head of this organization Andrei Troshev gives explanations on this subject:

If only the number and deaths from different cities, the losses can be hidden. If you publish a list of names, you won’t hide it there. But I did not find a list in the media on the Internet.

Representatives of the Kurds and the Syrian government confirmed that they had reached an agreement on the issue of the entry of Damascus troops into Afrin. It is reported by Reuters.

According to the agency, an adviser to the representative of the Kurds in Afrin said that Damascus troops could enter the region in the next two days.

That's right, Turkey is not our friend, but a fellow traveler on a certain section of the road and we will go along with it while it is beneficial for us.

But what about the USA as ardent opponents of the use of chemical weapons did not launch missiles in the Turks, all the same, evidence is not necessary for them.

What is a contract is a stroke of a pen on paper that costs nothing to break, and the Turks have been great masters since ancient times. There can be no conditions either, because a weapon is just a weapon, pressed a button and all the short life. Like you for the dialogue.

The accusation of using Chemical Weapons is very serious and it is worthwhile to figure out what is being accepted by the Kurds under it. If the use of "tear gas" to disperse the crowd of locals who blocked the road, then this is one thing. If the use of "white phosphorus", which causes severe poisoning in humans, then this is completely different ...

Any facts of the use of weapons of mass destruction must be thoroughly investigated, especially prohibited. Though with the bragging UN commissions, even the OSCE.
Since WWII, the United States has been the leader in the inhumane use of weapons of mass destruction. If you do not take the gas chambers of the Nazi concentration camps, then Washington has long surpassed Hitler and begs for several Nuremberg processes!

Yes, I distinguish. I admit my (to put it mildly) mistake. Just by copying and pasting a picture into the search, the first two links I got specifically about the Samara region. and forest pests.
Now seriously. Having never justified the United States for using Agent Orange in many countries of the world, but approaching the issue formally and only from the point of view of facts (and you can see right away, a supporter of pure facts), I want to remind you that:
1. Agent Orange is not an officially recognized WMD anywhere in the world.
2. Some countries quite officially used Agent Orange in their own countries for the same defoliation of forests during the construction of dams. For instance:

Brazil
The Brazilian government in the late 1960s used herbicides to defoliate a large section of the Amazon rainforest so that Alcoa could build the Tucuruí dam to power mining operations. Large areas of rainforest were destroyed, along with the homes and livelihoods of thousands of rural peasants and indigenous tribes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_Orange

3. The same Americans did not consider his WMD and quite calmly sprayed it in front of them without caring about any means of protection.


What do you think? If you approach it completely formally, can Americans be held accountable for the conscious use of WMD from your photo or not?
PS: Once again - I do not justify the Americans for this at all, and this is still mildly said.

[Alex-a832]

Quote: bane's jacket

Let's get the facts. Let's see and brand the USA together.

I'm talking about WMD, and not just about chemistry. In Vietnam, they had a whole testing ground for weapons of mass destruction. In addition to Agent Orange, the United States twice used nuclear weapons in cities with a civilian population. Who else boasts this ?! The forbidden "white phosphorus" was used more than once during the bombing. Despite the ban chemical. weapons, your "infallible" USA has not yet got rid of it (and this is with an overabundance of time and finances). Will we brand, or is it so, excusable for "exceptional" pranks?

[bane's jacket]

As for nuclear weapons - no questions. Applied and burn them in hell for it.

In Vietnam, they had a whole testing ground for weapons of mass destruction.

Personally, I do not know about this. For what specific WMD was the landfill and where was it located? Was it WMD, or was it like Agent Orange?

Despite the ban chemical. weapons, your "infallible" US still have not got rid of it

Despite the ban on the storage of chemical weapons?

Will we brand, or is it so, excusable for "exceptional" pranks?

We will definitely brand. For the cause, not fiction. You cannot defeat evil.
PS: svp67, for some reason did not answer my question. Maybe you can do it for him? So, "Agent Orange", used by the Americans in Vietnam (and not only), is WMD and, knowing this, they used it knowingly and illegally?

The answer is simple, Western "comrades" are openly lying, Russia cannot always prove its case, but this is not a lie. Russia did not attack anyone, shocking the UN with false evidence; Russia did not undermine its own warships in order to attack another state. And if someone there fooled on behalf of Russia, then it is necessary to understand who paid him, the State Department or Mi6.
