Do you believe Syria uses chemical weapons? | I have my doubts. I’ve never seen any compelling evidence to suggest he did and it really doesn’t make any sense that he would.
According to the reports, around sixty people died in a chemical attack. If Assad wants to kill people, he can easily take out sixty people using conventional ordnance. In fact, he regularly ... | https://www.quora.com/Do-you-believe-Syria-uses-chemical-weapons |
Why are chemical weapons illegal? | The prohibitions against chemical weapons predate WWI. I can’t say what the driving force was originally other than perhaps a sense of “fairness”.

Do we have any proof that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons, including against its own citizens? | The strongest evidence?
That was something like this: “Mattis went on to acknowledge that “aid groups and others” had provided evidence and reports but stopped short of naming President Assad as the culprit” (Newsweek)
Aid groups like the White Helmets, who are not free from suspicion themselves.

Why didn't Hitler use chemical weapons in Stalingrad? | Two very good answers earlier, but my 2 cents worth:
