Try America for war crimes too!
America's feigned outrage at the use of Sarin gas in Syria was the excuse for launching Cruise missiles (it wasn't just because the US President had a tantrum, it was more of a long term plan by the Pentagon ). It is hard to understand how the US expects to claim the moral high ground with its dismal track record of stamping around the world killing people. In various Middle East wars the US has used such weapons as depleted uranium, thermobaric bombs and white phosphorous which have lasting impacts on people.
Depleted uranium weapons are manufactured in many countries, included the UK, US, France and Russia. It is a significant component of armour piercing anti tank shells. Depleted uranium munitions have been widely used in the Middle East. On the battlefield, some of the uranium is vapourised on impact, producing a radioactive heavy-metal smoke that is easily ingested or inhaled and causes long term and terminal health impacts.
On top of that, the US shot down an Iranian commercial passenger jet and destroyed an MSF Hospital. America's hands are far from clean. No evidence has been produced that the Assad regime was responsible for using Sarin gas. Both the US and the UK have supplied sarin, or the chemicals used for making it to a number of countries in the Middle East (and elsewhere.) so there is plenty of the deadly concoction around.The US stores its Sarin gas arsenal at various army depots,including in Utah,Arkansas,Oregon, Colorado. Maryland, Indiana and Kentucky.Larger stocks of depleted uranium are held in Kentucky and Ohio.
