not a takedown of the Russian explanation.
Of course it is.
It is a very good takedown in fact.
Sarin gas is highly unstable and is easily rendered inert.
“Decomposes thermally to form a variety of phosphorus containing
products as well as propylene. The rate of decomposition increases with
increase in temperature, and in the presence of acids. At the boiling
point of GB, under atmospheric conditions, decomposition is fairly
rapid.” [PubChem: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/sarin…]
The Russian account of having bombed a Sarin containing depot is
scientifically impossible. If you bomb Sarin with incendiaries, it will
be rendered INERT by the exceedingly high temperature of any blast. It
just takes 150 °C to decompose Sarin into various forms of phosphorous.
The average missle emits 2,480 °C (4,500 °F) which is way beyond what it
would take to completely erase any Sarin.
Then these imbeciles are claiming that pictures of the White Helmets
wearing only gas masks and no HAZMAT suits means there couldn’t have
been a Sarin attack. Make up your minds! Either there was a gas attack
or there wasn’t. Russia ADMITTED that Sarin was released upon the
population because even they weren’t stupid enough to deny the
overwhelmingly obvious! And to debunk this nonsense about the White
Helmets not wearing Hazmat suits, by the time they and other personnel
would have arrived in the area the Sarin would have dissipated. This is
from the Center for Disease Control: “Because it evaporates so quickly,
sarin presents an immediate, but short-lived, threat.”

Finally, as Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a former commanding officer of the
British Armed Forces Joint Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear
(CBRN) Regiment, said:
“Axiomatically, if you blow up Sarin, you destroy it…It’s very clear
it’s a Sarin attack…The view that it’s an al-Qaeda or rebel stockpile of
Sarin that’s been blown up in an explosion, I think is completely
unsustainable and completely untrue.” [BBC]
