Guess Which Countries Helped Syria Acquire Chemical Weapons?


Guess Which Countries Helped Syria Acquire Chemical Weapons?

Maybe not the United States. That was Iraq. But Syria got them via a number of countries, including our allies.

…the blood is indirectly on the hands of those same nations who are deciding what to do, regardless of which side in Syria ordered the strike.

Recent reports indicate that Germany and the U.K. supplied chemical dual-use technology to the Syrian regime in just the last ten years.

Russia’s own ordnance expert claims the artillery used to drop those chems came from Ukraine, a popular subsidiary to Moscow in terms of weapons proliferation (though he goes on predictably to claim that as proof the rebels did it).

Oddly enough, analysts have blamed that same subsidiary, and so by proxy Moscow, for illegally proliferating chemical arms to Syria…

That’s not all though, Syria also sought and acquired chemical technology from “Holland, Switzerland, France, Austria and Germany,” reports Global Security.
