SYRIA thread

[Sarmatian]

Physics being that all the Sarin in Syria so far discovered has been binary - two chemical mixtures ("precursors") stored separately which could not combine to form Sarin because a bomb drops on a warehouse. Unless we suppose that Tahrir as-Sham has an advanced chemical research facility which found a way to purify the prescursors and incorporate a stabiliser (something only one US laboratory successfully did prior to the ban on chemical weapons) nobody would have just "tanks full of sarin" sitting around. Of course, it's possible the rebels deliberately released poison gas coinciding with a government/Russian airstrike in false flag operation, but nobody has so far been sufficiently tinfoil hatted as to suggest this.

1) You're again ignoring numerous testimonies that mention strong odor and yellow brownish cloud. Sarin is odorless and colorless.

2) The sarin found in Syria has been that produced by the government, a higher grade. Sarin used in 2013 (and possibly now together with chlorine) has been low grade, low quality.

3) doctors didn't say sarin specifically, they said some of the symptoms were consistent with a nerve agent "like sarin".

4) OPCW released a following statement after the attack: the OPCW is investigating the incident in southern Idlib under the on-going mandate of the Fact-Finding Mission (FFM), which is “to establish facts surrounding allegations of the use of toxic chemicals, reportedly chlorine, for hostile purposes in the Syrian Arab Republic”.

So, please come again about physics...
