It's not like "fake" hasn't happened before!
If the Russian Ministry of Defense claims of a staged chemical event, enacted by the UK and US-funded White Helmets group, prove true then the US-led Coalition of the Killing will next strike Syria with multiple missiles and subsequently the US will make a statement it must now remain long-term in Syria.

The Syrian-Russian-Iranian alliance will defeat Al Qaeda/ISIS terrorist forces in Idlib, then make a deal with Turkey and next set its sights on booting the US out of Syria and the US-backed SDF Kurds back to their original boundaries.
This will become the ultimate point of friction. I predict, at this juncture, then China will join Syria's efforts.
