[SAT]

http://thehill.com/policy/internatio...hemical-attack

The U.S. has identified potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the Assad regime in Syria, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said in a Monday night statement.

Such an attack would likely result in the mass murder of civilians, including innocent children, Spicer added, noting the activity is similar to preparations the regime made before its April 4, 2017 chemical weapons attack.

Sorry I had to take out all the quotation marks in order for it to post.

Sorry I had to take out all the quotation marks in order for it to post.

It's the character sets that different keyboards use. Note the curve and extra little bump at the bottom on the quote marks used by the keyboard/font in the post above versus the standard ASCII " quote marks that are pretty much straight up and down. We'll get it figured out.

Nato warns cyber attacks could trigger Article 5 as world reels from Ukraine hack

A cyber attack against any member state would trigger Nato's mutual defence clause the alliance has warned after a massive computer hack paralysed government ministries and dozens of businesses in Ukraine before spreading around the world.

The latest global cyber attack is believed to have been designed to cause chaos rather than extort money. Ukrainian officials have pointed at Russia, which is fighting an undeclared war with Ukraine in the east of the country and has been blamed for previous cyber attacks on Kiev.

Jens Stoltenberg, the Nato secretary general, said alliance members agreed last year that a cyber attack could trigger Article 5 of the north Atlantic treaty in the same way as a conventional military assault and promised more help to Ukraine to bolster its own cyber defences.
