Western officials: We’re worried that Russia is preparing a chemical weapons attack in Ukraine HotAir

The warning about chemical weapons doesn t appear to be based on hard intelligence, as the U.S. alerts last month about a Russian false-flag operation to trigger war with Ukraine were. This is more of an educated guess based on what we know of how Russia operates. If they ve begun to chatter about the Ukrainians using WMD, it s likely that they re thinking of using WMD themselves and trying to pin it on Ukraine somehow.

That s the Syrian playbook, after all, and Russia is quite familiar with Syria.

If they’re worried about, I’m worried about it. If Putin is trying to start a war, this is the way to do it.
