DISINFO: The West keeps silent about the "Aleppo attack", because it cannot blame the Syrian government

SUMMARY

Indicative silence: The West is not commenting on the “recent gas attack in Aleppo” and does not care about the suffering victims, because it cannot blame the Syrian government this time.

RESPONSE

No evidence given. The OPCW recently announced that it is planning to send a mission to Syria to probe an alleged poison gas attack. For background on Aleppo attack see BBC report.
