| #4 Be thankful it wasn't me doing the press conference. I'd have done all of those lines from "The Hunt For Red October." "This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it." "The Russians don't take a dump without having a plan..." |

| #3 Why would the side thats winning the war use chemical weapons that'd invite retaliation? Assad along with the Iranians and Russians don't need need to go chemical to mop up the rest of Syria at this point in time. If anything it was when Assad was on the ropes prior to Russian involvement that he'd of used them and he very well may of. This reeks of a false flag attack at this point in the game. |

| #2 I fear it is not over. These are ruthless bastards. As long as they (or at least Vlad - Hafez's kid must be a great disappointment to him) are smart bastards |

| #1 Braga seems to fear that another Russian-backed attack could easily come in the future. “I don’t think that’s healthy for de-escalation,” he told NBC's Engel, referring to the pro-Syrian forces still situated very close to American and SDF positions. The warning shot may have already been fired in Salisbury, UK. Notice each incident of WMD attack in Syria (and there have been many) is met with categorical denial by Assad and the Russians. I fear it is not over. These are ruthless bastards. |
