The plot thickens

— Scholarly Beard (@Tuscon_Valdez) April 10, 2017

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

BREAKING: Senior U.S. official says U.S. has concluded that Russia knew in advance of Syria's chemical weapons attack last week.

— The Associated Press (@AP) April 10, 2017

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:

This fails to surprise

This is not shocking. It is despicable and horrific but not at all shocking.
We know who they are. Why won't our President do anything?!?

No one should be surprised by that. They are just as bad of a regime.

One thing’s for sure: This isn’t going away anytime soon.

This goes without saying, but Russia is an enemy of the United States. https://t.co/m4L8VyjX0D
