RT: Idlib ‘chemical attack’ was false flag to set Assad up, more may come – Putin
“We have reports from multiple sources that false flags like this one – and I cannot call it otherwise – are being prepared in other parts of Syria, including the southern suburbs of Damascus. They plan to plant some chemical there and accuse the Syrian government of an attack,” he said at a joint press conference with Italian President Sergio Mattarella in Moscow.
Damascus denied the allegations, noting that the targeted area may have been hosting chemical weapons stockpiles belonging to Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) or Al-Nusra Front jihadists.
The incident has not been properly investigated as yet, but the US fired dozens of cruise missiles at a Syrian airbase in a demonstration of force over what it labeled a chemical attack by Damascus.

By moving so quickly against Syria without even taking the necessary time to learn all of the facts the US has definitely opened itself up for such allegations. doubly so given the prior failures of US intelligence. It would have made far more sense to move carefully with circumspection taking time to gather all of the facts and analyzing them carefully before moving forward.
Right now any support the US has is only toke and will fade away very quickly if things go badly. Such support costs them nothing, may have some benefit as long as things don't get to rough at which time they bail any way, and it is the heads of Americans who are on the chopping block should things go badly. It is us who will bear the brunt of any reprisals.
Of course Mr. Putin will meet with the Italian president and not our Secretary of State. He has acted as a statesman and shown wisdom by opposing new sanctions against Russia. I had suggested that Mr. Tillerson apply the negotiating skills he used to negotiate the half billion dollar oil deal between Exxon Mobil and Russia before someone foolishly imposed sanctions on Russia upending a deal that would have been good for both countries.
Perhaps the Italian president and Mr. Putin were discussing this deal. Someone is going to get it and I don't think its going to be America.
