chemical weapons

Mariupol is in the Southeast part of Ukraine, along the Sea of Azov. The Russians have not pulled out and are in fact reinforcing the area with units that pulled out from Kiev that is near the Northern central part of Ukraine near the border with Belarus.

Mariupol is in the land corridor that the Russians are trying to establish from the Crimea to the Donetsk/Luhansk area in the far east of the country. Mariupol is the city where the mayor says they have over 10,000 civilians killed. It has been cut off and under siege since the beginning of the war and has been reduced to near rubble by Russian artillery, rocket and missile fire.

The use of chemical weapons mixed with tear gas has been alleged as well as the use of white phosphorus (WP) weapons. There is some disagreement on whether Tear gas and WP are considered chemical weapons...one is a common riot control agent and WP was in common use in WWII/Korea and many other conflicts since.

Ukraine is a large country with unfamiliar names to most Americans. Looking at one of the many maps with illustrations of the combat that is going on would go a long way to understanding what is going on.

Mariupol doesn’t really exist anymore...but Ukraine gaining control of it seems key to ending the war.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Putin dropped a nuke on it..
May 9th appears to be a key date.. put that down as a possible end to the war.
I have something on my threads that suggests Russian troops don’t have another month of fighting left in them.

Did the Russians-- under the new General who's taking over the Ukraine invasion -- use chemical weapons in Syria to kill civilian populations in a scorched earth policy? Seems I heard something about that when the guy go the new assignment.

The withdrawal of russian troops would be exactly why chemical weapons are now being deployed. (No harm to russian forces)

I mean it doesn't matter in terms of garnering support for the Ukrainians, soldiers are raping mothers and murdering children. Some people are evil beyond comprehension, I hope they get whats coming to them. Fucking sick bastards, hope they hang Putin in the square.

If they do that gives NATO the right to launch cruise missiles on Russian forces.

Is what Putin doing bad ? Yes
Should I really care ? Nope
Since 2013 Russian troops bombed the living shit out of Syria used chemical weapons and no one ever made a big deal out of it so why now?

Putin has been using low-grade chemical weapons in Syria, for years. I would not put it past him to use them in this conflict.

As to why it's only coming to light now, when should it come to light?

The Mayor of Mariopul says that Russia has killed over 10,000 civilians in his city alone, and more are dying by the day. If that isn't a war crime, what is?

The Ukrainians are liars dont take what they say as facts they be fabricating shit to get more empathy n help from the world

He did it before in Aleppo. He shouldn't be allowed to use them ever again..
