March 10, 2022 | Washington: The Biden administration publicly warned that Russia might seek to use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine as the White House rejected Russian claims of illegal chemical weapons development in the country it has invaded.

War Crimes ~ August 21, 2013
Nearly nine years ago, on the early morning of August 21, 2013, the Assad regime released the nerve agent sarin on its own people in the Ghouta district of Damascus, killing more than 1,400 Syrians, many of them children. Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime carried out 98 percent of it, dropping chlorine gas, sarin and sulfur mustard gas on Syrian civilians. Russia supplied Syria with the chemical weapons, and SoS John Kerry negotiated with Sergey Lavrov after the fact, to have the toxic war chemicals transported out, and destroyed.

George W. Bush/Human torture — The invasion of Iraq is often spoken of in the United States as a “blunder,” or even a “colossal mistake.” It was a crime. Those who perpetrated it are still at large. Some of them have even been "rehabilitated" thanks to the horrors of Trumpism and a mostly amnesiac citizenry.
(rehabilitated/i.e. ~ John Bolton/Gina Haspel) Sure! 
The pundits and “experts”who sold us the war still go on doing what they do. I never thought that Iraq could ever be worse than it was during Saddam’s reign, but that is what America’s war achieved and bequeathed to Iraqis.

So tell me again if Putin uses chemical weapons that he will stand trial for war crimes? ~ Or is this more journalistic sabre rattling?
