limited tactical use of chlorine gas is the lynchpin of assad's strategy

without it he is doomed even if it will bring him international condemnation and the risk of another libya-like intervention

if limited use of chlorine gas on civilians isn't effective, then why do the libs hate it so much? if it is not effective, why is assad still in power?

Semper Shitpost Ubique

The wording is deliberately vague. Any CBRN report would be passed up a chain of command, generating chatter. A Battalion CBRN officer calling his Brigade counterpart saying “I think we’re encountering gas here” would inevitably lead to someone calling the controlling authority of chemical weapons and saying “We have a report of gas, was it us or the other side? Please advise.”
