All the US had was ‘open social media’ information; as if that can’t be faked!
Notice that this attack came right before the OPCW was to arrive in Douma to investigate the scene of the alleged chemical weapons attack. This alone looks strange.
What does the US have to hide? After all, if the US and its vassals were so sure that Syria did launch a chemical attack, they would’ve sat and waited for the guilty verdict before they did anything.
That the US rushed to act before the verdict was in shows us that they were worried about the facts getting out, and those facts would’ve contradicted all US accusations. After all, didn’t ‘Mad Dog’ say some months ago that US could not verify if Syria actually gassed anybody? So there you have it-US likes to shoot first, and ask questions later.
This seems to be a prevailing problem in the US today-verdict before proof. The US rush to punish Syria, or some other country for committing a crime they did not commit is just an extension of the same problem faced by people in the US who find themselves at the mercy of ‘US justice,’ from small county courts all the way to the white house.
There is no shortage of stories of people in the US being sentenced to years, or decades in jail only to be proven innocent after the fact.
In desperation, poor people that cannot afford a good lawyer are forced to admit to crimes they didn’t commit just to escape a longer sentence.
This same verdict before guilt, and forced confession culture extends all the way to relations with other countries.
Russia and Syria are the latest victims of this. But before them there was Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya; countries that were bombed or destroyed by the US and their criminal henchmen on the basis of false flags, false accusations and lies.
But no one should have any illusion about the success of this airstrike, or lack thereof.
Over 70 of the 103 missiles launched at Syria by the US, UK, and France, the three most powerful members of NATO, did not reach their targets. They were either shot down by Syrian air defenses using 30+ year-old Soviet-made S-200 anti-missile systems, or electronically jammed by Russia. This will not go unnoticed by the pentagoons.
It seems western technology is not that effective. Trump’s shiny, new, smart missiles were fried before impact.
Also, not all NATO members participated in the attack.
This attack was a strategic failure, and no one will ever know exactly why it was carried out. Was it to save Trump’s, May’s, and man-boy Macron’s political fortunes in the face of domestic troubles? Was it an angry reaction to Syrian and Russian successes? Was it an attempt to destroy Trump by making him do something misguided against Syria and Russia, or an attempt to goad Russia to do something to destroy Trump? Was it simply an expensive fireworks show to satisfy western defense contractor and Wall St. profit margins? Was it to hide other domestic US crimes and corruption? These are all possibilities.
This attack merely aggravated the Syrians, but it was no decisive blow to anyone but maybe Trump’s future.
This attack will only solidify and enhance Syrian-Russian cooperation and success. Add that the US avoided targeting any place where Russians were stationed, alone shows that the US is afraid of Russia’s reaction. The US didn’t even dare lob one solitary missile at any peripheral Russian targets as a cheapshot, like it did at the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during the terror bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, shows that the US is scared.
The people who will pay the price will be the fools who ordered this atrocity, not Putin, not Assad, not anyone in Iran. Trump and his useless cohorts may get a bump at the polls for a minute, but that will dissipate. He has betrayed many of his supporters who voted for him mainly because he did not want to intervene in other nations’ affairs.
Trump has committed an act of cowardice. He has become a war-monger just like Bush, and will be disgraced just like Bush was.
Russia is playing the long-game in Syria, and as long as it is there, US has no good chance of succeeding. One interesting thing about this attack that no one yet has brought up is the absence of any sudden rebel offensive. Could it be that Trump has tired of supporting jihadists? Yes, he’s using their bullshit lies as a pretext for aggression to make himself feel better, but he’s not helping them in any way. That alone says volumes.
This whole fake Skripal poisoning and Syrian chemical attack allegations, and now this useless bombing were all manufactured to pressure Russia and Syria into making political and strategic concessions. But Russia won’t negotiate under pressure.
But nevertheless, the ball is now in Russia’s court. There must be a reaction to this, and a very significant one.
Russia needs to supply Syria and Iran with better air defense systems and other equipment, and training that will increase the effectiveness of their forces ability to knock out enemy aircraft to the point where most, or no enemy attacks are successful.
Better yet move would be if Russia, China, Iran and Syria organize a defense pact, and Syria and Iran go under the Russian nuclear umbrella. This would end once and for all any further US adventurism.
But something must be done, or else the fake atrocity propagandists will be back for more, the next time Syria wins a victory.
What Russia and Syria did to the western-sponsored Wahhabi freaks in the last two years makes any US airstrikes look like pebble-throwing; a poor substitute. This will not change.
But let's conclude this essay with Trump's words from 5 years ago. He was so right then, but so wrong now.
