Lots of guesses and lots of blaming from all parts... However it looks more and more to me that there was no gas attack in Douma. There are too many witnesses, medics and residents, that say that people was suffering from all the dust and smoke from the attack that can give the same symtoms as for gas. But then... Syrian medics 'subjected to extreme intimidation' after Douma attack https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/17/syria-crisis-medics-intimidated-over-douma-gas-attack |

Oops. Lost in translation. In this case very lost:) The Swedish TV-channel TV4 translated the Arabic word "Amrika" to "Russia, Iran and the regime" in an interview where a resident of Syrian Douma explained that she wanted to drive out the United States from the country. "The attack did not get enough effect, so we want to see more. We want them to avenge us. Russia, Iran and the regime must back off from here because they have stolen our country and our land" In fact, the woman says that "The US must back off from here because they have stolen our country and our land" and are probably referring to the US-loyal jihadist groups who have controlled Douma until the government side's advances in recent weeks. |

But there are at least some countries that doesn't dispute territories. Even in the Middle East:) Btw There is an islet called Rockall in the Atlantic Ocean. Denmark, Iceland, and the U.K. have each claimed ownership of the islet. |

Humans have always migrated for many reasons. War is one of them. The migration from the Middle East to Europe at present is immense because of the wars there. And why? Because so many other countries have interests in that region. Mostly economical like the US's and the UK's interests in the Middle east. And muslim countries and factions that have economical but sometimes also "religous" interests. Will it ever end? No. Business as usual... |

Only Russian military are for now allowed to inspect the sights. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-43792120 As OPCW chief Ahmet Uzumcu explained in a statement, the two suspected attack sites are under the control of the Russian military police as part of an agreement with the rebels to keep out the Syrian military. |

If there is nothing to hide... Are you saying that if there is something to hide it is not disturbing? |

Sigh. If nothing is to hide it's disturbing for the US, UK and France governments. If something is to hide it's disturbing for Russia and Syria governments. Whatever the outcome of the inspections it's disturbing for the Syrian population. I'm disturbed that it takes so long time to do the inspections. If it were chlorine gas, as most people say it was, all traces of it is gone by now. Both Chlorine and Sarin, also a possible gas, are very volatile. Mustard gas is volatile as well is but I haven't read about people that have smelled garlic in the air. Novichok however take months to evaporate. |

Are Daesh defeated in Syria? Guess not. A Lebanon journalist took a "field trip" to southeast Syria the other day. Battle far from over. 1000s of Daesh still there. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/986329709091983360.html SDF Syrian Democratic Forces and Americans. SAA Syrian Armed Forces and Russians. ISIS Daesh. |

Unless one commits an extermination, it is impossible. If one book or memory is missed, it will spring up again. |

If one book or memory is missed, it will spring up again. That is the explanation for NK's 3 generation policy. |

What is the penalty for a President or leader to fire weapons on another country without proof and congress support? We all know now there was no WMD in Baghdad, is Syria just yet another example of false reports? We all know also that China is flexing it's arms now and with Russia as it's buddy and amazing weapons, I give it 15 years till USA is 3rd super power that is if Trump has not started next war, prior to him being leader world was not to bad... |

What is the penalty for a President or leader to fire weapons on another country without proof and congress support? Is it possible to ask for political asylum in Australia due to a nefarious, corrupt, selfish and vexatious Italy government? MYGA! MAKE YAWN GREAT AGAIN |

What is the penalty for a President or leader to fire weapons on another country without proof and congress support? I very much doubt that you'll get that from your country, but if you have good trade qualification/s then there's an avenue to explore. ;-) Cheers. |

+Turkish Army in Afrin. Turkey is not a very helpful country, NATO member and all. They are mostly fighting the Kurds, YPG and YPJ in the Syrian Democratic Forces. Turkey says it wants to eradicate terrorists, but for the US, the same YPG and YPJ militia has been an important allied in the fight against Daesh in Syria. Two NATO countries on potential collision course with each other. |
