Revisiting an old accusation

The BBC did well burying that news on their website
A cynic would sayâŚ
Just as Syria stands on the cusp of eliminating IS and has started to establish an infrastructure that could help the nation rebuild, the West starts finding evidence that would let them âtake direct actionâ against Assad and blast the remainder of the country back to the stone age.
Because thatâs what their mates in Israel want then they can follow that up by starting on Iran
IF there is a case to answer on Chemical Weapons then let the country stabilise first and then follow due legal process & the Hague can deal with it. Do not destroy the only chance of starting to find a lasting solution now
The UN are confident.
wtf does that mean?
52% of Brita were confident about Brexit.
Many of you on the match day thread are confident about us beating Brighton.
May was confident about calling an election
Etc
Thought Iâd post this in here. A lot has been going on don here of late, and this article sums up the Guradianâs analysis. I wonât comment on that.
What is true is that Iraq WAS the balance in the web down here and the US did drop an almighty clanger.
Now more than anything this part of the world stands to be somewhere to keep an eye on.
What I would say is how much of this stuff has happened SINCE Trump visited Saudi, but no I wonât speculate.
Even more dangerous times.
I suppose that in Tango Manâs mind a war will be fine as itâll be two branches of Islam killing each other - so fewer terrorists to bomb the west.
Suspect weâll be drawn in to it - on the Saudi side - especially as we have that clown BoJo looking after our foreign interests.
From what I have read neither the US nor Israel are keen on war in Lebanon.
I would be more worried if I was living in Qatar. The crown Prince will want to flex some muscle and having bombed the fuck out of Yemen I reckon the tanks could have a run out in Qatar.
Would have been nice of the Beeb to credit RT as theyâve been banging on about this for ages.
You would hope that your tax is being spent wisely. Maybe on the NHS, schooling or something eh?
Letâs not forget that Priti Patel had _agreed _to _fund _the _Israeli Defence Force _in occupied terrority, not least because it makes this easier to swallow.
I guess one manâs extremistâ is another manâs freedom fighter. Personally I think we tend to forget that when it comes to Israel in the occupied territories but the mainstream media doesnât like to put it that way.
Yep about covers it
Particularly the last line
That article mentions nothing of Russia being in Syria at the request of the legitimate Syrian Government.
Nor of the Western (UK/US/EU) support for terrorist (read moderate) opposition groups.
It mentions the Russian/Assad bombing of Idlib but does not say that it was US forces which supervised the withdrawal of Nusra Front/Al Quaida fighters from Aleppo and elsewhere to Idlib. There is no mention of regime change which is what itâs about.
Which, considering it is from the usually Left leaning Grauniad is odd.
But the final line is still much pretty much the case.
Other tales emerging now from Tunisia about how Regime Change there is failing the population and protests are again spreading.
All around the same time Iâve been asked to prepare a synopsis for a Paper at a high end Academic Uni conference in EU later in the year about conflict. me? Academic? I canât even use a spell checker properly
And the cluster fvck continues
How the US has managed to end up on the other side of one of their most important allies
I have just been reading an account (by Robert Fisk) of the suffering of civilians (and particularly children with various cancers caused by the use of depleted unranium shells) in Iraq.
It paints a pretty bleak picture of how the US and allies sacrificed innocents to promote regime change.
Iâll pop a review in the What are you reading thread sometime but in the meantime, whilst reading about todayâs âself-defenceâ US bombing raid in Syria, I came across this:
Personally I just call them deluded murderers. Works for me every time.
Can we include Western governments and the terrorist state(Israel) in that description? These people were small scale, but our western (and terrorist) governments, like the beatles, dealt in millions.
We are the ones that starve and burn innocent women and children on an industrial scale and have been doing since we discovered what they have and we desperately need, to keep our unsustainable, ecosystem destroying lives, in the deluded bubble we presently live in. Syria(all for a pipeline) and Yemen are hideous cases, but then look at Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya(what was the real reason behind that one?), Palestine(whatâs left) and particularly for me, Gaza(whatâs abundant just off the coast line?).
The whole western system is a lesson in total addiction to murder and destruction(as long as itâs not on our doorstep), so addictive that we canât even start to think about the change(scientifically proven beyond doubt) thatâs coming whether we like it or not, so we keep on burning women, children and life itself, all because we like the easy life and are too conceited to admit whatâs inevitably coming to our own doorstep.
