Not P but Disinformation ?

[da kid]

Okay I see yeah I agree there. I know he had to go to some big right wing German publication to get his story printed. So yeah I think it is messed you or at least odd that he was completely ignored.

This is not the point. Doubt him, debate him, debunk him. But to
basically suppress his voice and dismiss his claims out of hand is
disgraceful. The man is the most renowned investigative journalist in
the US.

As for the debating, only a short remark: RT is obviously referring to
the CW incident in Ghouta in 2013. After the latest serious incident,
the UN inspectors visited neither Idlib/Khan Sheikoun nor the Syrian
airforce base at Sheyrat.

Here is the OPCW report:

The OPCW is an immensely important institution whose reports may decide
about war and peace. So this is interesting:
