Defense Ministry Spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said the operation is planned to unfold in the village of Kafr Zita in Syria’s northwestern Hama Province in “the next two days.”
Source
Konashenkov said that “English-speaking specialists” are already in place to use “poisonous agents.” While a group of residents from the north has been transported to Kafr Zita and is currently being prepared “to take part in the staging of the attack” and be filmed suffering from supposed “‘chemical munitions’ and ‘barrel bombs’ launched by the Syrian government forces.”
The groups of residents will be used to assist “fake rescuers from the White Helmets.” They will be filmed apparently suffering from the effects of chemical weapons and then be shown in “the Middle Eastern and English-language media.”

Seriously you can't see it? You need to wake up. Deception is the oldest tactic in warfare. Let me explain it to you then since apparently you believe everything Russia says at face value. They are in cahoots with Syria (FACT), they know Syria is going to perform ANOTHER chem/bio attack on their own, so before it happens you come out with disinformation that it will be a "false flag" attack to cover up who really did it. . You don't see the logic in them doing that?

That doesn't make sense because either way Syria will be bombed as a result. Are you saying Assad wants to lose another airbase? The only thing these chemical attacks have accomplished is prolonging our engagement in the region.

Or!
Syria and Russia are actually planning a chemical attack and are doing this to muddy the waters so it can be perceived as a false flag.

Does Russia even routinely deploy DU munitions? I dunno.
Well, RT.com (the Russian state-owned propaganda mouthpiece) announcing a "false flag", is probably paving the way for a Russian/Syrian chemical weapons atrocity.
