>> i think you see a lot of the diplomats especially some core fear that that might be actually a chemical attack that takes place on the ground in ukraine, it would be the ukraine forces doing that, they fear that it will be the russian forces doing that. we saw this happen in the syrian civil war, when assad used chemical weapons, and as we know russia strongly backed assad in that war. they kicked out the assad government, and russian disinformation networks put out messaging that said that the opposition was using chemical weapons in that instance. so i think here we see a lot of anxiety coming out of the white house, and coming out of other countries, saying that we need to be on the lookout for any potential russian attacks using chemical weapons. and, of course, china has been siding with russia for the most part during this war, and they have been amplified this disinformation. >> i've seen it even from chinese state officials,
