    A New York Times investigation found that the Syrian government dropped a chlorine bomb on this apartment in Douma, Syria in April, killing dozens. Explore the evidence in augmented reality: nyti.ms/2tCJJFV

      The New York Times, I'm still a bit confused, can you explain again how the lattice imprint came to be left on the canister? Surely that would only occur if the canister was left resting on the latticework for a period of time, not if it passed through it at great speed. That would just leave random scratch marks, especially if the canister was surrounded by the finned framework to make it drop vertically, as you pointed out.

    • @DrRiq
      @DrRiq 6 лет назад +7

      Champion N3C 1) no bomb drops completely vertically, and 2) the latticework fell asymmetrically, and crumpled against the side of the cylinder. This is not hard to physically imagine

      Dr. Riq, thanks for your reply but I do find it hard to physically imagine asymmetrically falling, crumpled latticework leaving a symmetrical imprint on the cylinder.

      15 pages OMITTED from the OPCW report - indicating the canisters have a higher chance of being placed there MANUALLY and not dropped by aircraft/helicopter. Very likely these were planted. Chlorine traces were also diluted and not as concentrated as conventional chlorine weapons - either they are old or not chlorine weapons at all. The 'rebels' and ISIS have also been found to use chemical weapons and may have likely planted or used these themselves either to frame the Syrian government or other reasons. The Assad Regime is by no standards a hallmark of human rights defenders but this is the same propaganda and lies as seen throughout all US intervention - Iraq anyone?. The NYT is one of the biggest cooperators of the CIA and support the military industrial complex agenda.

Hes saying the terrorists attacked their own people, or it was an accident. Either way, hes implying that it was the terrorists' weapon. This is actually a very likely scenario; that they either accidentally released the gas as they were moving it, or more likely, that an airstrike released it. This happened several times in Desert Storm, where we bombed bunkers that had chemical weapons stored in them.

      @@georgegunnell6319 Maté's claims regarding Douma are based on private correspondence, released by WikiLeaks, between two former Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) inspectors, in which one said there was no evidence of chlorine being used as a weapon in Douma. According to the director general of the OPCW, Fernando Arias, the inspector's assumptions were wrong because the investigator had left his position with OPCW before it carried out most of its investigative work on Douma, and he was unaware of the new technology the OPCW used to corroborate the allegation of a chemical weapons attack.
      In September 2020, Maté testified at the United Nations at an Arria meeting hosted by the Russian Federation and China, about the alleged cover-up by the OPCW.[40] In April 2021, he spoke at another Russia-hosted UN event on the topic. In March 2023, he spoke at an Arria meeting organized by the Russian Federation as a briefer on behalf of the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations led by Vasily Nebenzia.

    If the U.S and Russia stayed out of this and let the UN do the actual peacekeeping this chaos would not be so chaotic. If you say the UN is ineffective, look up Operation Böllerbank. Make another Nordbat mission to Syria to protect the civilians. (Yes the US can fight IsIs but they should've packed up and left when IsIs collapsed and hand the "Keeping the peace in the region" over to properly trained UN units just like Nordbat was.

      @ScenerCrime 3445 just bear in mind when you watch these videos that the situation is a lot more complicated then what it seems , it's not a situation of people rising up against a dictator , it's a geopolitical struggle between regional and world powers .
      In my eyes the biggest tragedy in Syria was that a popular revolt against a police state was hijacked by world powers for their benefit , the dreams and aspirations of the Syrian people amount to nothing in the eyes of these governments , democratic or not , they're all the same

    Sounds like USA trying to set up/ smear Assad when he's about to win and be a hero. Why do people believe USA media after the Saddam's men throwing babies from incubators, Jessica Lynch story, active WMD and yellow cake and all that BS that proved to be lies??? Why is the public so gullible?

      @ I have read the Wikileaks report. Ian Henderson's conclusion that the canisters had to have been placed there not dropped is wrong which is why it wasn't in the final OPCW report. For more information you should read this:

      @ So the 2013 report was about a different incident (the Ghouta chemical attack). It's not what's being addressed in this NYT investigation. But in any case when people came to UN investigators carrying suspected munitions to give more evidence that doesn't mean that there was a conspiracy among the rebel forces it just means that the crime scenes weren't being protected which makes sense since it was a warzone and was controlled by rebel forces (the rebels weren't always super organized). The investigators just needed to take that into consideration when coming to their conclusions.
