Update 1: Russia has reportedly dispatched drones to the area to confirm Syria’s reports. The Russian military said that it has no information confirming the reports of death as a result of the US-led coalition’s strike.
“The Russian Defense Ministry does not possess information confirming reports of deaths and the type of the destriction as a result of the US-led coalition’s bombing near Deir ez-Zor.”
“Unmanned aerial vehicles have been sent to the area to monuitor the situation,” the ministry added.

As we detailed earlier, the Syrian General Staff said that the US-led coalition struck an ISIS depot storing chemical weapons in Deir ez-Zor on Wednesday, poisoning and killing several hundred people, including civilians.
As SputnikNews reports, the Syrian military said that this fact proves that terrorists possess chemical weapons.
“The jets of the so-called US-led coalition launched a strike at about 17:30-17:50 [local time, 14:30-14:50 GMT] on a Daesh warehouse where many foreign fighters were present. First a white cloud and then a yellow one appeared at the site of the strike, which points at the presence of a large number of poisonous substances. A fire at the site continued until 22:30 [19:30 GMT],”
The Syrian army yet again denied possessing chemical weapons. According to the Syrian General Staff, the US-led coalition’s strike killed several hundred people, including civilians. Hundreds were poisoned as a result of the strike on Daesh’s headquarters and depot with chemical weapons.
“This confirms that Daesh and al-Nusra terrorists possess chemical weapons and are capable of using, obtaining and transporting it,” the document said.
Furthermore, if true, the US coalition just did exactly what Russia has claimed occurred in the initial chemical attack (that prompted President Trump’s “Tomahawk” torrent). The Russian Defense Ministry said the day after the initial chemical weapons release that an airstrike near Khan Shaykhun was carried out by Syrian aircraft, struck a terrorist warehouse that stored chemical weapons slated for delivery to Iraq.
Of course, the propaganda battle is not over so what we need now is some YouTube clip to ‘prove’ what the US coalition did.
Assad: The Chemical Attack Is “100% Fabrication”

Following yesterday’s icy meeting in Moscow between Rex Tillerson and Russian diplomat Sergey Lavron, the propaganda campaigns between the U.S., Syria and Russia seem to be ratcheting up to full force.
Speaking with the BBC earlier this morning, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said the U.S. account of the recent chemical weapons ‘attack’ in Syria was a “100% fabrication” which can only lead him to the conclusion that the West must be working “hand and glove with the terrorists.”
“We gave up our arsenal 3 years ago. Even if we had them we wouldn’t use them. We have never used our chemical arsenal in our history.”
“Our information, that the West, mainly the United States, is hand and glove with the terrorists. They fabricated the whole story in order to have a pretext for the attack.”
“There was no investigation, no complete evidence about anything, the only things were allegations, and propaganda and they struck.”
Perhaps we’ll soon have video from the Russian drones of the “beautiful babies” our own bombing caused. Squirm out of THAT one, MFers!

Kukner is a pos zionism.
Well, Trumpeteers, who knew that when Trump was preaching about making America great again, he considered being at war a part of being great? I didn’t know, did anyone else?
The mask is off now. Anybody supporting Trump is no different from those who supported Obama.
The only question I have is why did Trump ‘turn’ when he was quite adamant about not getting involved in wars that don’t affect us. Put another way, why did he LIE to his voting base, all of America, and to the world about a Syria chemical attack?
KoKo- Day ONE, I told you he is an actor. He was an actor in a tv reality (scripted) show for 11 years until his new roll as presidential candidate came about. Actors stick to the scripts even if it is a lie.
You live in a construct that is a lie, stop expecting there will be someone on your side.
This is what is needed to complete the destabilization process being conducted on the U.S. from within.
The coup is coming.
American Spring
Either Trump is a colossal liar, or he was reminded of an event in Dallas on a sunny Friday afternoon in November. My bet is the latter, more than the former. Either way, the voter means nothing to those who really pull the strings. Those who tell Trump what to do, and many of the Presidents before him.
I’ve floated this idea many times here and some of you might remember it:
The SS detail transports the newly-elected POTUS to “Site R” or some other bunker and is introduced to the underground bunker which contains a normal office-looking room. The lights are low, the desk is huge as is the highback executive chair behind the desk. SS agent tells the pres “Take a seat” at the only chair in front of the desk, then closes the door. As it closes the chair whirls around, and seated there smoking a huge stogie is the dark force himself, Dick Cheney. He congratulates the pres on his election, then says, “I represent the true power in the U.S. We’re the people who actually run things. We’re the people who did JFK, RFK, MLK……and we’re still here. So listen carefully to what I’m saying because for you and your family it’s a life or death decision you’re about to make. Either you do what we say or you and your family will be toast”
How many times does this have to occur before we see it with our unbelieving eyes?
I thought this might be a “bit”, a spoof, so I went to http://www.rt.com Apparently it’s real.
There is supposedly proof from an unnamed source that ‘intelligence’ uncovered conversations of Syrian military talking about a Sarin attack.
Problem: The chemical attack was not Sarin.
At the UN, Nikki Haley’s UN Resolution that got vetoed by Russia also mentioned Sarin.
That resolution would have resulted in an investigation by the UN.
Russia vetoed it.
Why would anyone oppose conducting an investigation that proved them innocent?
Anon….you make that statement without knowing what that resolution stated. It did NOT request a UN investigation of the scene of attack to determine the chemical and if it was from storage and not dropped via a bomb..
Syria always tells the truth and Trump always lies.
Neither its true.
