Did Bashar Al Assad gas his own people, or is that total bullshit?

I was subjected to a liberal rant about Assad gassing Syrian people, and it sounded like some BS (Just smells like propaganda), but the Internet is a fuck these days and I’m unable to find any informtion I trust, or develop the tools to debunk wikihasbara.

Did it happen?

I wouldn’t support a baby eater, just a radical personal red line of mine.

No no no. It’s the low-IQ, steroid pumping, ghost killer, meathead brigade that did most of the damage.

I’m sure that someone else might have a better answer but likely bullshit. This was sort of the bombshell article on it. Theodore Postol is a leading expert on these sort of weapons systems, and he makes arguments that haven’t been meaningfully disputed from what I’ve read.

Aaron Mate and the OPCW leaks convinced me that the Douma attack was an atrocity hoax. There was more than one alleged gas attack; I know less about the others.
