Last April, in one of the Trump administration’s first “diplomatic” ventures, the US fired 59 Tomahawk missiles on Syria, in stated retaliation for the latest alleged chemical attack by the Assad regime, the same “false flag” excuse which was used by the US to officially enter the conflict back in 2013 when military tensions between the US and Russia nearly resulted in a regional war.

Well, it appears that Assad is a relentless glutton for punishment, because not even a year later, the WaPo reported two weeks ago that the US is considering a new military action against Syria for – what else – retaliation against Assad’s latest chemical attack, which took place several weeks earlier.

How do we know Assad (and apparently, Russia) was behind the attack? We don’t: in fact, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, in a moment of bizarre honesty, admitted that he really doesn’t know much at all about “whoever conducted the attacks.” But hey: just like it is “highly likely” that Russia poisoned the former Russian double agent in the UK – with no proof yet – so it is “highly likely” that a clearly irrational Assad was once again behind an attack which he knew would provoke violent and aggressive retaliation by the US, and once again destabilize his regime.
And so we now wait for that flashing, red headline saying that US ships in the Mediterranean have launched a missile attack on Syria, just like a year ago. Only this time Russia – which is allied with the Assad regime – is not planning to be on the defensive, and according to Russia’s Defense Ministry, “US instructors” are currently training militants to stage false flag chemical attacks in south Syria, i.e., the catalyst that will be used to justify the US attack on Assad. The incidents, the ministry said, will be used a pretext for airstrikes on Syrian government troops and infrastructure.
“We have reliable information at our disposal that US instructors have trained a number of militant groups in the vicinity of the town of At-Tanf, to stage provocations involving chemical warfare agents in southern Syria,” Russian General Staff spokesman General Sergey Rudskoy said at a news briefing on Saturday.
According to the Russian, “early in March, the saboteur groups were deployed to the southern de-escalation zone to the city of Deraa, where the units of the so-called Free Syrian Army are stationed.”
“They are preparing a series of chemical munitions explosions. This fact will be used to blame the government forces. The components to produce chemical munitions have been already delivered to the southern de-escalation zone under the guise of humanitarian convoys of a number of NGOs.”
And, using the exact same worn out narrative as last April, and every prior “chemical attack by the Assad Regime”, the “planned provocations will be widely covered in the Western media and will ultimately be used as a pretext by the US-led coalition to launch strikes on Syria”, Rudskoy warned.
“The provocations will be used as a pretext by the United States and its allies to launch strikes on military and government infrastructure in Syria.”
Confirming the WaPo’s report from early March, it now appears that an attack is imminent.
“We’re registering the signs of the preparations for the possible strikes. Strike groups of the cruise missile carriers have been formed in the east of the Mediterranean Sea, Persian Gulf and Red Sea.”
Rudskoy also warned that another false flag chemical attack is being prepared in the province of Idlib by the “Al-Nusra Front terrorist group, in coordination with the White Helmets.” The militants have already received 20 containers of chlorine to stage the incident, he said.
Moscow and Damascus have repeatedly warned about upcoming chemical provocations, and have highlighted that banned warfare agents have been used by the militants. Of course, none of that matters to the Western press which has its marching orders to expose the bloodthirsty killer Assad as an irrational despot who will use the exact same military method month after month and year after year, knowing well the response he will get from the US.
Meanwhile, just a few days ago, Syrian government forces reportedly captured a well-equipped chemical laboratory in Eastern Ghouta. Footage from the facility has been published by the SANA news agency.
The installation contained modern industrial-grade hardware of foreign origins, large amounts of chemical substances as well as crude homemade munitions ad their parts. It was unclear if the chemical lab was capable of synthesizing the novachok nerve gas used in the attempted murder of the Russian agent in the UK that has resulted in the latest diplomatic scandal involving Russia and the west.
Sounds like Syria has rejected the greenback.
Russia has plans to attack Jerusalem……
That would be wonderful.
As usual, every single problem the world has, every thing wrong with it, it the sole fault of the United States.
That place needs to be destroyed and every single man, woman and child in it killed so the world can return to the natural state of peace and harmony that existed before the United States was born.
If U.S. intelligence agencies (that is so funny it’s hard to type while laughing this hard) says Assad did it then it must be so.
US ‘Intelligence’ Agencies = The Ministries of Truth
“highly likely” is a phrase borrowed from IPCC in their doom porn Assessment Reports for the ‘End Is Near’ GloBull Warming Hoax.
The IPCC used to use the word “robust” to accentuate (con the public and members of CONgress) the validity of the Reports.
‘Robust’ has fallen from grace, as most of the suckers caught onto the verbal game.
“Behold Damascus will cease from being a city;
And it will be a ruinous heap.”
Always comes to mind.
Israel/Mossad guilty until proven innocent-us just the errand boy.
a bit off topic but here is a pretty good article about putin and russia from takimag–
Tampa.
I read half way through page 2 in the spirit of being a good sport (Lol). It
Would be on topic on Ron Paul’s article. Sounds like it came right off the pages of the Weekly Standard. Putin and Russia were coming back into the world till the Neocons declared war on them and sanctioned the crap out of them for spoiling our plans to completely flatten Syria and turn it into another Libya. Complete with the public humiliation of Assad by giving him public Colonoscopy by bayonet to insure Lebanons leaders would surrender without a fight. Greater Israel would be firmly in place by now and life would be good. But Noooo, those warmongering Ruskis had to mess it all up. Then they invaded Ukraine and encouraged and prodded N. Korea to threaten S. Korea by moving their border till it was right next to S. Korea’s border. If that’s not a sign of preparing to attack then what is?
My guess is that the NeoCons next Jaggernaut is so stupid that Russia will defeat it like they did our ally ISIS. One day, Trump will finally have to fire a gaggle of Zionist traitors, including his beloved Kushners.
I FEAR THAT WE WILL END UP IN A CIVIL WAR
AND AT THE SAME TIME A RADICAL MUSLIM WAR WITH SYRIA AND IRAN
So let’s review here. We are at war with ourselves. Left vs right. We have 21 trillion in debt. (Debt that we will admit to). Now we seem to want war with Russia? What in the world has happened to us.
