At the time Saddam was emboldened by the US and when he gassed the Kurds the CIA blamed Iran for it to cover it up for him. If anything that proves that we can't trust Western intelligence reports. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halabja_chemical_attack#Afte...

Shouting "consipracy" as loud as you can doesn't make you sound smart and it's not an argument. Try reasoning about this and bring something substantial to the discussion instead of this shoddy attempt at mccarthysim.

And trusting Russian intelligence sources and the new breed of academic 'useful idiot' cooperatives is any better?

Russian run IO social media accounts have started spreading news about an "eminent false flag" attack in Syria 3 weeks ago this is exactly the same pattern that we've seen on several of the attacks before specifically to all attacks that were eventually attributed to the Syrian government.

And while you may say that "shouting conspiracy" isn't fruitful neither does spreading it without anything that could be considered even remotely as a shred of any proof.
