| 1639396100015550464 | @aaronjmate @OPCW 10) PS - sorry I didn’t stay to hear you respond. I had no desire to listen while you and the Syrian rep were provided a further chance by your Russian hosts to show such contempt for the thousands of Syrians murdered by the Assad regime with these horrific #chemicalweapons | 42 |

| 1639396910921285632 | @thomasphipps @aaronjmate @OPCW Complete performative nonsense. Why didn’t you have that same energy for the depleted uranium dropped in Iraq? Oh, because you actually have no sense of morality and are trying to cover up the fact that you can’t stand up to any scrutiny on the world stage. Do you feel shame? | 21 |
