No Sarin in The Air of Khan Sheikhoun?

Once again, not to be mistaken for Tuesday's With Morrie, it's time for Tuesdays With Trump... Yeah, I know Skippy, this week we are switching Tuesday with Monday. 

Today's effort goes to fake news, intel, MSM narrative, assumptions and reported alleged airborne use of Sarin gas on April 4th in Khan Sheikhoun, Syria, which resulted in a 59 Tomahawk missile attack being launched by the US.  
Above a flashback to a private citizens Tweet on June 16th, 2013...This six year old pissing match in Syria and Libya might not be exclusive to Putin vs Obama and now Trump, as other political factions could be manipulating the situation for political gain.

STRIKE ONE!


Note the above photo used in the Tweest by the US backed FSA White Helmet faction. First responder's are using inadequate masks and bare hands, which is strictly against Sarin protocol as it would be FATAL to the responder's. Something doesn't smell right and in the case of the photo, it isn't Sarin gas. Strike One!


From Disobedient Media.

Evidence does not support assertions of airborne chemical weapons use. ISIS and rebel factions (such as the US supported White Hats) are known to have possessed and used chemical weapons in Syria for some time.  The Syrian government no longer even possesses chemical weapons, as the United Nations and U.S. Department of State have already confirmed. 
Not only was the nature of the attack misreported by the media, but OPPOSITION figures were aware of the chemical attack days before it actually happened, contesting the narrative that the Syrian government was responsible. It is strategically counterintuitive to assume that Bashar al-Assad would engage in a chemical attack on Syrians just one week after figures in the American government expressed the opinion that they would be willing to allow him to remain in power.
The involvement of the US-supported White Helmets, who have a history of association with war crimes and extremist groups in Syria and the apparent anger from the factions in the American government who oppose President Trump’s policies in Syria suggests that the facts surrounding the attack are being intentionally distorted for political gain.

STRIKE TWO! 


Following through, Russia and Syria issued a denial from Sputnik news as follows:

"According to Konashenkov, on Tuesday "from 11.30 to 12.30, local time, [8.30 to 9.30 GMT] Syrian aircraft conducted an airstrike in the eastern outskirts of Khan Shaykhun on a large warehouse of ammunition of terrorists and the mass of military equipment".
A funny thing happened on the way to Khan Sheikhoun, as the social media and MSM accounts all have the attack commencing at 4:30 AM local time. How could the denial cover story airstrike have been so late to the party, SEVEN HOURS LATER?  Strike Two!
Boris slight time line problem. Oops? No worry Uri, just play long, story get better.

STRIKE THREE!


If the necessary components for Sarin gas, which are by themselves inert, were present in the warehouse, what would be the odds of those ingredients magically mixing during an explosive air raid or its aftermath?


Syrian and Libyan chemical weapons are binary in nature, meaning those components have to be mixed at the time of deployment. One of the two ingredients for the Sarin mix is alcohol, which being highly flammable, would incinerate in the air raid bombardment. 

Double oops Boris? Yuri don't smoosh package.
So the odds and assertion that airborne Sarin was used or resulted from a warehouse explosion are not likely. Strike Three!  Coupled with the US backed first responders not following Sarin protocol, and a Russian/Syrian denial whose timeline would only be possible for Marty McFly and other time travelers.




Like the Captain and Luke, what we probably have here is a failure to communicate, and rather than Sarin in the air of Khan Sheikhoun, any or all of the following: mustard, chlorine, VX or hydrogen cyanide gas would be more probable. Hydrogen cyanide would indicate potential Zyklon B use. (Nattering for another day.)
Natasha, forget Sarin, must get moose n squirrel.
However, Zyklon B is a pest control agent, the active ingredient of which is Prussian Blue (hydrocyanic acid, HCN). Zykon pellets are flammable and can outgas at low temperature, however, in an air raid explosion, most of the lethal effectiveness would be burned away, and what was vaporized would be lighter than air.  Your Out!

FYI, VX can be a gas or an oily nerve agent of which 10 mgs, less than one drop, was alleged to have been used to kill Kim Jong-nam, the exiled half-brother of North Korea's ruler, Kim Jong Un.  

However, VX fumes would have killed the suspected attackers even if they had been wearing gloves, suggesting that the VX was applied as two non lethal components that would mix to form VX. Again, the odds of VX components combining in a binary fashion during an explosion, not too good.

Above another Tweet from a private citizen dated - Sept 7, 2013  BTW - a very revealing record of a certain private citizens Tweets regarding Syrian policy, can be found here.  

In any event, now that a certain individual is POTUS, WHAT IF reports of a Syrian stockpile of chemical weapons are true, what happens if Assad topples and any of that cadre falls into the hands of other factions, viz. terrorists?
"It is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons." - POTUS Trump
Much like Hussein's WMD's, there you have it.  At the end of the day, with conflicting and implausible stories emanating from both sides, everybody might want to take a big step back and give this the sniff test. As in, there might be more than meet's the eye or nose and not so fast Joe, or you finish outside. Get in the car and out.
