This attack is strategically stupid. Syria has Russian support, and they're, by all accounts, winning this war. It doesn't do anything except potentially provoke more foreign intervention. The only side that benefits from instability is the rebels. 

 

I don't know if this is a false flag because even the Russians are saying that it was a result of a chemical release from a nearby storage facility for rebels and their chemical weapons. But what I don't understand is how people were walking around without masks or gloves, and interacting with those that were affected, without also being affected. It can be transferred by skin-to-skin and sarin mixes easily with water.
