Assad a mild-mannered cosmopolitan former Doctor who was not expected to be President, but for the death of his elder brother is the default legal duly elected ruler of the Socialist Republic of Syria.
The ally of Russia since 1958, with security pacts with that country, and Russian military bases there.
It is not in the interests of Assad to WIN BACK AND RECONQUER HIS COUNTRY, by destroying it and killing/genociding his people with chemical weapons.
It is not in the interests of Assad to WIN BACK AND RECONQUER HIS COUNTRY, by destroying it and killing/genociding his people with chemical weapons........WHILST THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING AND OBSERVING, whether through sophisticated surveillance means or by HUMMIT.
It is not in the interests of Assad to WIN BACK AND RECONQUER HIS COUNTRY, by destroying it and killing/genociding his people with chemical weapons........WITH KEY ALLIES SUCH AS RUSSIA AND IRAN.......2 countries which would object to the Syrian military using chemical weapons.
SYRIAN MILITARY OPERATIONS ARE COORDINATED WITH RUSSIA---due to the security pact with that country since 1970.
and the Treaty of Friendship and cooperation (1980)
That means the Syrian military cannot use illegal non-existent chemical weapons from its ghost stockpiles unless the Russian government gives the small desperate Russian dependant country permission to use chemical weapons, and since Russia is the country which publicly dismantled Syria's chemical weapons stockpile--------Russia would not give permission to the Syrian government to use chemical weapons, and OPEN ITSELF TO INTERNATIONAL RIDICULE AND CRITICISM (What kind of dismantling did you do Boris, if the Syrian government is still using illegal chemical weapons in the very same place from where the first false false accusations against the Syrian government came from back in 2013, which prompted the dismantling of Syra's entire military grade chemical stockpile?----NOT)
----Russia is a country which respects International law, and the rule of law......and as such is not a rogue out of control state run by religious messIanic nut-job leaders, who are being investigated by their police for corruption.
FAUX patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel (criminal)---to paraphrase Dr. Johnson.
WIKIPEDIA: 'In September 2013, Syria joined the CWC (formally acceding on 14 October), and agreed to the destruction of its weapons, to be supervised by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), as required by the Convention. A joint OPCW-United Nations mission was established to oversee the destruction process. Syria joined OPCW after international condemnation of the August 2013 Ghouta chemical attack, for which Western states held the Syrian government responsible (whilst Syria and Russia held the Syrian rebels of the Syrian civil war responsible) and agreed to the prompt destruction of its chemical weapons, resulting in U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry declaring on 20 July 2014: "we struck a deal where we got 100 percent of the chemical weapons out."[3]The destruction of Syria's chemical weapons that the Assad government had declared was completed by August 2014."
