Ohh this is the kind of drama I live for. Max fucking Blumenthal quoting some book to bash @VaushV in due to his stance on #Syria. I don't often tweet storm but let's do some I guess

1) It's clear by the highlights that the author of this book doesn't like market socialism, people who make money from playing video games, & what is derisively called champagne socialist. I thought we were supposed to like this kind of class traitor?

2) Man it must take some pretty big balls to cowardly insinuate that others work for state propaganda when you work for #RT. The only reason that Max here is allowed on RT is that Russia uses its fake leftist cred to sow disinfo in other countries.

3) This whole thing started because Vaush debated another dude over Syria. Syria was a shit show. It's such a shit show that literally everyone is correct. The #Assad gov & brother did use Chlorine bombs to scare the people. Why...

4/12

because if they turned over their weapons to the west but still used chemical weapons with no international response then they could convenience the people to give up. Nevermind...

5/12

the fact that Syrian civil war started because Assad decided to be daddy and bomb #Holms during a modest protest, turning it into an uprising and encouraging members of the military to defect. Yea that happened

4) At the same time though, Western powers, every player in the region (KSA, Turkey, Qatar, Iran, Israel) DID do fucked up shit like arming Islamist, covert operations, etc to take out Assad. Everyone thought they could make bank (money or social cred) so they jumped in but

7/12

the USA at least didn't have the heart to commit to another war, especially after it was manipulated by Islamists in Lybia. So we didn't go hard. Sorry peeps, no matter how much you want it to be so, this wasn't #Iraq 2.0

5) Anyways, back to the chemical attacks. We know from multiple respected orgs that both rebels and the Assad regime used Chem warfare. Here are some links

Rebels using Sarin (2013)

I know most of Max's supporters won't believe this link but it needs to be included anyways. Why? Because it's important to the discussion about Chem attacks. After this, Assad gave up his chem stockpile (best fluke in history TBH!) but...

Then Assad forces using Chlorine, multiple times.

6) A little ranty, but I guess my main points are everyone is correct about the shit show that is Syria, just cuz you hate USA does mean you should fall for confirmation bias (Assad is bad FFS), & don't throw stones when you live in a glass house
