News outlets reporting 2 devices filled with shrapnel detonated, killing at least 10 people in St. Petersburg metro station.

This is likely Da'sh. Russia doesn't need more public support to act in Syria. Remember when they killed that journalist who exposed the FSB plot to bomb civilians and pin it on the Chechnyans?

The US should offer condolences, then coordinate more closely with Russia in global kebab reduction operations. S/F....Ken M

Ruck Fussia...
They spent 50 years of cold war money cultivating friendships with state sponsors of global terrorist networks. Now everyone is supposed to be shocked and horrified that the bear has been attacked by a few extremists. ...hasn't the liberal media spent the last 18 months on top of a soap box reminding us that Russia is the enemy? In the name of democrats everywhere, hooray for the St Petersburg bomber - may he strike again at the heart of mother Russia to destroy all of those dirty Cossacks that tainted the election against the exalted madam secretary... blah blah blah etc etc.....

So, anyone seeing a connection to this attack and the use of chemical weapons in Syria? My first thought was the area hit may have been where the bomber was from.

It's a bit tangential, but it will be interesting to find out who used the chemical agent. The last "big story" involving chemical agents in Syria ended up to have, let's say, "inconclusive" results. It would seem to me, that in light of current developments, It wouldn't be in Assad's best interest to stirr the international outrage pot. There are other factions that might be more interested in the international community not wanting to deal with Assad. On the other hand... Assad hasn't got much to lose in terms of PR.

But wasn't Syria supposed to have eliminated its chemical weapons under western supervision?
And frankly, whose interests would it serve to chemical-bomb children? Just once... Come on

Regarding the chemical attack in Syria, I wonder how much truth is in this article and how much is fake news.

There's no fucking way Assad used Chems. I call bullshit straight up.
I smell "false flag". Just like the last time those fuckers used chems to try and force the USA. Someone check John Fucking McCain's passport stamps and Cell GPS logs. People are stupid to believe this as being Assad. "Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice.................." |

Some interesting points I couldn't help but notice: Pictures of white helmets handling victims with their bare hands, imho that would be a very bad idea, considering the alledged agent used (Sarin). There are very likely some knowledgeable people around, I'd love to hear more about this aspect. I've heard the argument of low concentration to begin with (dilution, impurities and degradation of the stockpile), so that despite causing fatalities in the initial strike, helpers weren't exposed to harmful doses anymore. Timing. Al Qaeda and affiliated groups gaining political advantage (same as 2013 and 2016), especially considering the current stance of the US towards rebel factions. One of the cited sources for the Idlib attack is the al Qaeda linked Dr. Shajuhl Islami, a very interesting character to say the least (http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/213922.php). The list goes on. I'm far from being an expert, but Assad doesn't strike me as a madman. He might be a despot, but he has doesn't seem to be completely of his rocker. And assuming he would have ordered this...it would probably be the worst possible moment for him. This whole story puts a lot of people in a bad position, except for all the rebel groups. Smells funky to me.

If the folks in that area want to kill one another will bullets, Sarin, or spears, it doesn't matter to me. With the possible exception of the Kurds, for whom no country on earth has proven willing to invest more than a Hallmark card's worth of assistance, there isn't anyone in that area of operations whose life is so valuable that it must be defended by sacrificing the life of a single American in uniform. I don't think we should ignore the region any more than one should ignore a cancerous tumor, and for the same reason - ignoring those people there will allow them to eventually become more of a problem here. However, since there doesn't seem to be a way to divorce those people from their world domination fanaticism, abuse and oppression of women and kids, inbreeding, pedophilia, and hostility to constructive criticism, I'm OK with mass depopulation events in that vicinity. The poor children who may have been gassed, as sad as those images appear, are the same kids who in a decade would be the next crop of the exact same culture raised and trained by the current crop to act just like them. If someone in that locality is willing to do the necessary cloroxing of the regional gene pool without our assistance or funding, I don't see a reason to get upset or act like the United States needs to step in a set things aright. It would be the height of foolishness to go to war with the Russians because one group of idiots we hate in Syria genocided another group of Syrians whom we hate.

It's likely that everyone over there has some GB in some form or fashion, so this could have certainly been plenty of people other than the Russians or Syrians. This was nothing more than an attention-getter. If by chance, the Russians did it in retaliation for the subway bombing (as someone mentioned...possibly the bomber might have had ties to this village, etc), then that's not something I think we should go to war over.

This morning chlorine drums were dropped on another city. Russia will for now back Syria no matter what as they have a major naval base (Tartus) and want to keep it. It's tragic to see kids suffering like that, no matter what. H |
