The home of Monsanto, Dow Chemical, and Union Carbide whining about chemical weapons

No, these corporations aren't Bashar Assad nasty. But all of them have been complicit in the deaths of thousands with the covering up and at times direct support of the US government.

So please spare me the faux moral outrage keyboard warriors. This country wouldn't even extradite the CEO of Union Carbide to stand trial for the crimes of his company. What about those that manufactured the arms that Saddam used to gas the Kurds? What about the thousands of farmers crippled and committing suicide due to Monstanto's patents?

They certainly don't have their hands clean, but the Russians don't lecture anyone about human rights or "international norms" either. Putin's a thug and thuggish behavior is expected.

I expect better from a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize!
