Now aside from the wrong assumption that Syria was willing to abandon Iran and Hezbullah, to Israel, especially after what Syria did to help Hezbullah in 2006 and how Syria didn't abandon either to end the Syrian civil war in 2011-2020, let's talk about the email. 24/
As mentioned above it talks about how Syria is blocking Hezbullah's access to C4 and RDX. Yet the same email says Hezbullah is buying huge amounts, with the consent of the Syrian government, of ammonium nitrate from Homs at double the market price. 25/ https://t.co/zgXbIs0D5x
So the questions we ask ourselves are

- Syria is blocking Hezbullah's access to military grade explosives from where?

If we claim they are blocking it from Iran, that's fake as Hezbullah kept moving weapons from Iran to Lebanon from Syria. IDF strikes there are enough proof.26/
- If we claim they are blocking them from the Syrian army depos, that's weird because why would Syria have a monopoly on Hezbullah's access to such material and not simply get it's needs from Iran? 27/
- If we claim that Syria actually has a monopoly, why didn't they block their access to the Syrian markets and denied them access to ammonium nitrate that can be used to make explosives. That's all simply illogical.

Before the next question I've got to ask. 28/
Why do people who talk about this avoid reading about Ammonium nitrate and what it needs to become an explosive and how unstable it is and how it can't be stored in the form of explosive for a long time and is simply not military grenade. Not Hezbullah's standards. 29/
Imagine thinking Hezbullah is stuffing its IEDs and rockets with Ammonium nitarte. It's simply an absurd claim by those who never understood that not all things explode the same and work the same. Imagine comparing RDX and compound B to ammonium nitrate. 30/
Thankfully he talks about this, but most reading the WikiLeaks email haven't reached that far down. 31/ https://t.co/t6KAxesblV
I won't be talking much about how it's made and how it's used because that's something not for online discussion but a simple Google search tells you it needs tannerite & fuel to become an explosive. Can any article kindly now tell us about the tannerite supply? 32/
That claim aside, that was based on an assumption that we have refuted and know its weak as the Syrian Iranain relationship was not bad and Hezbullah's access to what it needed was never restricted, we'll talk a out minor misinformation in it. 33/ https://t.co/pVbXWlHOV1
The above screenshot talks about two things. Attacks against tanks and mining.

Regarding being used against tanks in IEDs does not only contradict what he later said about the issues of using it in IEDs, but it shows his lack of understanding of how shaped charged IEDs work. 34/
One can not simply use primitive explosive material in an IED to turn a cupper cone into a penetrator able to penetrate a Merkava. That's a retarded take.

That aside, the claim of using that material in tunnel construction is good. 35/
Unlike most who think that the Ammonium nitrate in the form of explosives is terrorist groups' go to explosives, it's actually meant to be used in mining. It's explosive form is for mining.

But yet again, Hezbullah didn't and never used it for that. Why? 36/
Anyone living in south or north Lebanon, UNFIL, and IDF never reported any unexplained explosions happening in areas where Hezbullah is present. IDF, who I mostly care about what it says, never claimed so. So is Hezbullah using silent explosives? No 37/
If you notice the big Hezbullah tunnel that the IDF uncovered and how it was dug, your notice those cylindrical shaped groves in the wall everywhere. From the start to the end. Well that's diamond based drilling. That's what Hezbullah uses to drill secretly. 38/ https://t.co/pTUQqXVLMo
And finally the last contraction because I got tired is his claim that UNFIL is cutting Hezbullah's access to the sea to get military grade explosives but then saying Hezbullah was able to rebuild and resupply in South Lebanon undeterred by UNFIL. 39/ https://t.co/eBmWInFFa6
If anything this shows how the UNFIL is either inconsistent in its work, so it was a baseless assumption because one ship won't stop what corruption can do

Hoepfuly this was a small contribution to refute this claim in order to focus on the real parties behind the Beirut inc 40/
