Russia Accuses Britain Of Committing Fake Chemical Attack In Syria

MOSCOW (AP) — The Russian Defense Ministry on Friday accused Britain of staging a fake chemical attack in the Syrian town of Douma last weekend, a bold charge that comes amid Moscow's stern warnings to the West against striking Syria.
A day before a team from the international chemical weapons watchdog was to arrive in Douma, just east of Damascus, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman, Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, said that images of victims of the purported attack were fakes staged with "Britain's direct involvement, " without providing evidence.
White Helmets first-responder volunteer and activists claimed an alleged chemical attack on April 7 by the Syrian government killed over 40 people in the town of Douma, the allegations that drew international outrage and prompted Washington and its allies to consider a military response. Moscow warned against any strikes and threatened to retaliate.
Konashenkov released statements by medics from Douma's hospital, who said a group of people toting video cameras entered the hospital, shouting that its patients were struck with chemical weapons, dousing them with water and causing panic. The medics, however, said none of the patients had any symptoms of chemical poisoning, according to the statements.

Putin has noticed that Trump and the UK are not best buds and is trying to exploit that fact.
What will our dunce do?
When did Americans lose knowledge of the fact that Russian State Media is a pure D propaganda outfit?
First Trump and Putin were buddies. Now they aren't. It's hard to keep track of the constant spin of anything and everything to try to blame the President.
We may never know the truth as to who really committed the attacks. We have plenty of reason to be skeptical of the claims being made by the deep state both here and in Russia.
What "plenty of reasons to be skeptical"? The only thing with "plenty of reasons to be skeptical" of is anything coming out of the Putin Russian propaganda machine and anything coming out of the Trump white house briefing room. They are both known liars and have every reason to attempt to change the facts and alter the narrative in their favor. Russia is a faux democracy, believing a single thing coming out of their government controlled media is beyond ignorant, it's dangerous. They have been assassinating dissidents, journalists and political opponents for several years now, they illegally invaded a neighboring country and lied about it, it's entirely possible they were behind the bombing of four Russian apartment buildings in 1999 which allowed Putin to seize more control of the then fledgling democracy. He is not our friend, he wants nothing more than the total destruction of western democracy which he believes will rid him of the only global check on his authoritarian rule. If you are taking sides with the Russian propaganda you're either fooling yourself or are knowingly siding with a foreign enemy making you a traitor to America and our constitution.
Trump : "Maybe it was done by the Russians, maybe it was some 400 pound bloke living in the cellar of his mother's flat in Liverpool" "We're going to figure it out though, I have the best people."
Good for Trump much better than a knee jerk reaction.
