This seems like a legit “whoa if true” report, wouldn’t you say?

More from the AP:

The official says a Russian-operated drone flew over a hospital in Syria as victims of the attack were rushing to get treatment.

Hours after the drone left, a Russian-made fighter jet bombed the hospital in what American officials believe was an attempt to cover up the usage of chemical weapons.

…

The official said the presence of the drone couldn’t have been a coincidence, and that Russia must have known the chemical weapons attack was coming and that victims were seeking treatment.

Well, then.

That’s putting it mildly.

The possibility that Russia was somehow involved in the attack doesn’t come as a huge shock to many people:
