TFW when you're a retweet bot that just wants to @StopWarCrimes but you just can't help retweeting content denying the war crimes committed by Syrian president Bashar Assad. #IronyIsDead

All of @StopWarCrimes' most recent 3200 tweets are automated, the vast majority being retweets posted via an app called "retweeta", with a few tweets cloned via IFTT thrown in for good measure.
What accounts does @StopWarCrimes retweet? The most frequently retweeted account (@cordeliers) is a new one to us, but @ggreenwald, @NeilClark66, @MaxBlumenthal, @RT_com, and @MoonOfA are familiar faces.
The top two news sources linked from tweets retweeted by @StopWarCrimes are moonofalabama(dot)com (originators of the claim that the Internet Research Agency was a "commercial clickbait" operation) and RT/Russia Today. Western MSM and Sputnik comprise most of the remainder.
Many of @StopWarCrimes' retweets focus on chemical attacks in Syria and the Skripal poisoning. The tweets about both events consistently refer to them as "false flags" or question whether they even happened in the first place. Perhaps @IgnoreWarCrimes would've been a better name.
