Western Airstrikes On Syria Imminent, World War Likely

In the next 48 hours, the US is expected to launch a coordinated airstrike on Syria, under the false pretense that an alleged gas attack in Douma was carried out by the Syrian government run by Bashar Al Assad, a rash move which could quickly escalate into world war. Russia's ambassador to Lebanon has said:

Any US missiles fired at Syria would be shot down and the launch sites targeted.

-

Alexander Zasypkin told Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV on Tuesday evening that: “If there is a strike by the Americans, then … the missiles will be downed and even the sources from which the missiles were fired.” The spokesman was reportedly citing statements made by Russian President Vladimir Putin and military officials.

Early Wednesday morning, apparently unphased by the threat of Russian retaliation which could easily lead to world war, Trump warned Russia in a tweet that missiles “will be coming.”

The former head of UK's Joint Forces Command also responded to the Russian ambassador's statement, warning that Moscow is risking war. The Independent writes,

Responding to Mr Zasypkin's comments, General Sir Richard Barrons, who led the UK’s Joint Forces Command from 2013 to 2016, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I hope the ambassador has chosen his words very carefully because what he’s actually saying is that if the US and allies decide to strike against Syrian chemical weapons and delivery aircraft, not only are they going to try and shoot down the missiles in flight - which they're capable of doing, but won't be with total success - but by saying the words 'launch platforms', he’s saying they are going to try and sink ships, sink submarines and shoot aircraft out of the sky - that’s war.”

Yesterday Russia also moved at least 11 navy ships from Syrian ports out to sea, in preparation for the coming U.S. military strikes, demonstrating the Kremlin likely isn't bluffing. Meanwhile, both U.S. and French navy vessels have moved into position in preparation for strikes on Syria, and the British Prime Minister has stated her willingness to join military action against Syria, even without the consent of Parliament – just as Trump is moving to take action in Syria without any Congressional approval or Declaration of War. Yesterday WND News reported that,

Meanwhile, a U.S. guided missile destroyer, the U.S.S. Donald Cook, already is in position off the coast of Syria with 75 Tomahawk missiles on board. The ship also has 20 surface-to-air missiles ready in the case of any confrontation with Russian war planes.

In addition, the French navy ship Aquitaine is in position with 16 cruise missiles.

Also, in a deployment scheduled before the latest escalation, the U.S.S. Harry Truman strike group left Norfolk, Virginia, Wednesday morning on its way to the Mediterranean and is expected to arrive in one week.

The BBC reports British Prime Minister Theresa May is willing to join military action against Syria, even without the consent of Parliament. May said she wants to prevent a repeat of the apparent chemical attack near Damascus, describing it as “abhorrent.”

All the evidence indicates the West is preparing for war, hellbent on toppling the Assad regime, irrationally refusing to heed the dire warnings from Russia not to commit war crimes of aggression against Syria in the way of airstrikes. However, the coming war with Syria in reality seems to have already begun, beginning the minute Israeli fighter jets struck a Syrian airbase on Sunday, killing 21 people - 18 Syrians and 7 Iranian fighters including Revolutionary Guard soldiers. In an unprecedented move, Tehran released the names and photos of 4 Iranians killed in the Strike, including a Colonel in the Revolutionary Guard, and later reported a total of 7 Iranians had been killed, being moved to Iran for burial. Tehran was also the first to release photos of the damage caused by the Israeli strike on the Syrian T4 base shared by Russia and the Iranians.

Israel has harassed and bullied Iran in various ways for years, playing the victim while sitting on a stockpile of nuclear warheads, having carried out multiple airstrikes on Iranian targets within Syria since 2013, and it appears this most recent strike may just be the straw that breaks the camels back. Iran has vowed to retaliate for the recent attack, and the statements made by several Tehran officials have Israel worried about the potential of a coordinated airstrike being carried out on targets within Israeli territory by a Russian-backed Iran. Speaking in Damascus at a two-day conference on Jerusalem Tuesday, a senior advisor to Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Ali Akbar Velayati, told Iran' state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) that Israel's "crimes will not remain unanswered,"according to CNN

"The Israeli regime's aggression against Syria is a breach of this country's national sovereignty and territorial integrity and runs counter to all international regulations and principles," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Monday, according to Press TV.

"The Zionist regime is [looking for] increased tensions in the region and I think that all involved sides should be extremely vigilant towards this issue," said Deputy Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi to Russia Today on Tuesday, according to FARS.

Blaming the US for supporting Israel, Araqchi added, “The US and Israel have entered the scene at different stages to boost the terrorists' morale in Syria and the recent attacks by the Zionists against Syria which was a repetition of similar assaults in the past are within the same framework.”

Iran is correct – but not only has the US boosted the terrorists' morale in Syria, US operatives helped create and have been funding both Al Qaeda and ISIS. The world is waking up to the Western imperialistic lies and propaganda, and it appears Israel is terrified that Iran with the backing of Russia may actually launch military attacks against Israeli targets inside Israel. And Tehran would be entirely justified in doing so, just as Russia will be justified in attacking US military targets if we commit war crimes by launching airstrikes against Syria without provocation, as our government is currently set to do.

Not backing away from his promise to strike Syria, Trump updated the world this morning in another Tweet.

Asking where America's 'thank you' from the world is, for allegedly vanquishing ISIS from Syria, Trump must have forgotten that ISIS was created and funded by the US and US allies in the Middle East, being used by US interests to fight a proxy war with Russia in the Middle East. Trump must have forgotten that the world didn't ask us to build a global military empire, destabilize the entire middle east while actively funding & supporting extremist terrorists at the same time, or violently overthrow democratically elected leaders like Ghadafi in Libya, just to replace them with our own unelected puppet dictators. The world didn't ask for any of this, and now Trump wants a thank you – he must be out of his mind!

But insanity is the name of the game when it comes to war propaganda, and it looks like the propaganda has been successful enough to push America into yet another war. A White House official today (Thursday) said the US plans to hit 8 sites in Syria in a coming attack, after allegedly confirming the alleged chemical weapons attacks in Douma on Saturday.

Marching straight towards war while preparing to imminently launch airstrikes against Syria, most of America either seems oblivious to the seriousness of the Russian threats of retaliation if we do, or they are certain Moskow is bluffing. However the recent actions of Russia indicate otherwise, and Trump appears all too eager to take that chance in an effort to appease the Zionist neo-cons and war-mongers in his administration and Congress - marching straight towards world war.

The advocates of war with Syria pretend as if it's in America's best interests to not only strike Syria, but to target Assad, wipe out his infrastructure, and topple his regime. Syria has not threatened to attack the US, nor have they launched or threatened to launch airstrikes at US military targets. Rather, the US has stationed thousands of troops in Syria, and is now threatening and actively moving to wage a war against the regime, for an alleged attack it didn't carry out, which was not perpetrated against the US military or Americans. Make no mistake, if the US takes any military action against Syria, we will be the aggressor and we will not be acting in self defense.

Waging a war against Syria is not even remotely in the interest of America or Americans. There are 4 reasons why the US is preparing for a war with Syria: 1. Syria is one of only 3 countries left without a Jewish-owned Rothschild central bank. 2. Assad and Iranian forces in Syria are seen as a threat to Israel, and have been targeted by the Zionists - without US intervention, Israel may not be able to take on Iran and Russia alone... 3. Black gold (oil) which will enrich Western big-oil companies if we take control of Syria. 4. WAR PROFITEERING, as war is a very profitable business. War is also a very deadly business and when the US strikes Syria, people will die, just as people died when Israel struck Syria on Monday. But some of the elite behind the war will also get filthy rich out of the deal, so war it appears it will be...

Our government lies, our media lies, and now b/c of this, it looks like a lot of people are going to die. If Russia strikes back as promised, a quick escalation to a world war is not unlikely, particularly if Iran also strikes Israel and Israel strikes back. If any of that happens, countless more people will die, all to appease the empirical and genocidal plans of a small but powerful cabal of evil Zionist bankers. Trump is listening to the wrong people – the Zionist neo-cons and war-mongers like Lindsey Graham, John Bolton, and Benjamin Netenyahu – instead of heeding the wise and rational advice of voices like former-congressman Ron Paul and Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

The US is quickly marching to WW3 and most of America seems to be just fine with that. There is not much the average person can do but expose the lies, wait for the US strikes, hope Trump has a last-minute change of mind, and see how Russia responds. In the end, maybe someday peace will prevail.
