The OPCW has claimed that a Syrian Air Force helicopter had dropped at least one cylinder of chlorine gas on the town of Saraqib on the night of February 4, 2018.
is this your usual leftcom grift? you know perfectly well aaron mate of grayzone fame. this article refers to a unsc working meeting in which mate is called in by the russian delegate to make the case of the douma chemical attack being forgery. The indian delegation makes noises wildly contrary to their general motions in the geopolitical landscape, in declaring the latest opcw report on syria as "falling short" on standards of neutrality and integrity, effectively adding a hugely important and flagrantly unexpected voice in support of the dissenting left regarding the chemical weapons allegations against assad. Your airbrushing about china and pakistan is irrelevant here. this is a case of diplomatic leverage shifting in assad's favour in respect to the indian delegation's standard of ethics trumping it's otherwise pro-western partisanship
I’d read through the article and not seen any mention of someone names “Mate” or of Grayzone. Which is why I asked.
I talked about Pakistan and China and the broader Indian geopolitical situation because the article talks about stuff like that - Russia saying Quad is anti-China, India’s different positions in different international treaties/committees etc.
