This is great. books answered my question
"which countries supported Iraq chemical attacks during Iran-Iraq war?"
"Saddam Hussein received chemical weapons from many countries, including the USA, West Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, France and China (Lafayette, 2002). In 1980 Iraq attacked Iran and employed mustard gas and tabun with 5% of all Iranian casualties directly attributable to the use of these agents"

- themodelplumber 9y agoI couldn't find a good answer to my query, "why did Russia invade Ukraine?" But I will keep looking.
- karpodiem 9y agoBecause it didn't. Crimea is part of Russia, paid for in Russian blood with the 20+ million Russian people who died in the Second World War. Hello crying masked Wojak downvote brigade! Come hang out on /pol/ later, it'll be fun.

- newguy89 9y agoThat’s funny cause I just put that question into TTB and copied and pasted that paragraph into google and found this page. Interesting indeed. I was more looking into what could be proof that the chemical weapons use on Halabja are the same ones tha Saddam had in his arsenal. Cross referencing the studies that was done on the attack site with the sources might help seal the deal.
