like history might repeat itself but we can only hope for the best and look forward to a liberated terrorist free syria. terrorists in libya have started their final preparations for a possible faults like attack artie's during a hawkins joint cabin on earlier to discuss developments. but accusations and counter-accusations the russian modi has been warning about this for quite some time today we've got news coming in from the russian reconsideration center in syria that things are actually on the move according to them camera crews are on site in the libyan a town of jews that they're filming this alleged incident a false flag operation according to the russians at least based on intelligence from residents from locals in the town itself and they say this footage that they're filming will include what the helmets treating alleged victims of
5:05 pm
a false chemical weapons attack by the syrian government from the barrel bombs from helicopters this footage will then be sent to various news channels across the middle east and the u.s. as well within the next twenty four hours of by the end of today at least we have requested a comment from the u.s. department of defense to see if they know anything about this if they can comment on this somehow we haven't heard back but the u.s. has previously denied all of this they've said this is just the destruction it is just propaganda and the threat of chemical weapons use by damascus is very real there were tensions on all sides these accusations flying around it does look like something is finally coming to a head there doesn't it you know i mean tensions have been rising and that the u.s. has made their position very clear multiple times they've said that chemical weapon use by damascus will trigger retaliation likely military retaliation with strong. the u.s. and its allies on syrian government forces they've also made clear that any chemical weapon use will be blamed always print overly on the damascus government so that
5:06 pm
their position is very clear that's led to clashes between russian and u.s. officials previously things getting quite heated let's take a look just so there's no confusion here if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly. forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use them there is no military necessity for it we urge the international community to support collective efforts to and syria's use of chemical weapons and we remain resolved to act. uses chemical weapons again we would use them all sensible people will not use militarily useless means to draw before the three powerful countries upon themselves we have all seen what the syrian regime backed by the russian government has done in the past that should not be a surprise to anyone but that would be a concern of ours once again the speech that we have the impression that u.s.

threats against damascus aimed at preventing terrorist from being expelled there is not the first time the u.s. no matter which administration has prioritised the task of changing dissident regimes above the common goals of eradicating terrorism and extremism. i think it's clear it's shocking that chemical weapons use is even being predicted from any side here as we've said in the past but russia as we say has warned about such provocations what they describe publication as we all dream of damascus has no weapons i mean even if they've been using them would be suicidal triggering a military intervention from the west potentially any such chemical weapons use or even threat to allegation of such chemical weapon use could be the scope of the spot triggering some very serious incidents. yeah i was just mentioning the u.k. and from subjoin washington in warning damascus over a possible chemical attack in the lid but germany has taken a step back for not saying that should be held between all parties. government into
