To
the horror of billions of people all over the World on April 14th 2018,
in the early morning hours and without any real evidence to back their bogus
claims of Chemical Weapons use by the Syrian Government, the US, UK and France
broke International Law by Bombing Syria...and did so a day before the O.P.C.W.
chemical weapons team was to carry out their investigation.
An
“alleged” chemical weapons attack in Douma, East Ghouta on April 7th,
2018 was used as an excuse by the US, Britain and France to justify a consolidated
missile attack on Syria April 14th, 2018. This decision was made by the
US, UK and French leaders without consent of their own governments or the UN Security
Council…in other words, they knowingly disregarded their citizens and International Law.
International
Law
My
understanding of the UN Charter says that any military aggression committed by
a UN member nation on another UN member nation without a UN mandate is
considered a criminal act and a war crime. The US, UK, and France did not have
a UN mandate to intervene in Syria and thus committed a war crime on a
sovereign UN member nation. This reckless behaviour by US President Donald
Trump, UK Prime Minister Theresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron took
the world to the brink of World War III, the closest to war we have ever been with
Russia since the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.
The
fact that World War III did not happen was not due to the USA, UK or France but
due to the Russians for not targeting the aggressors and shooting down their
bombers or scuttling American coalition Naval vessels, even though Donald Trump
threatened the Russians 3 days before the attack.
“Russia vows to shoot down any and
all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming,
nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal
who kills his people and enjoys it!
It
would have been a real catastrophe should a tit for tat escalation ensued once the coalition commenced their attack on Syria; The next
time we may not be so lucky, so it is very important for everyone to understand
this fact.
If
we are to stop insanity like this from getting out of hand in the future, we
need to press these aggressive countries to uphold International Law every chance
we get from this moment on or they WILL surely do it again but with greater cataclysmic
consequences. No one should let the US, UK and France off the hook for these
crimes least of all other members of the OECD countries! It is also important
to call out their cheer leaders from other country's that supported their crimes
of aggression by publicly shaming them for their support of War Crimes.
In
a moral and just world these so called leaders would have been removed from power
for their absolute recklessness and endangerment of the World. There is no room
for apathy here, we the citizens of the World must stand up together to stop
this insane path that these O.E.C.D. nations have taken us…
International
Law is there for our mutual protection, once it is made meaningless there is
nothing to hold back insane despots from waging war on victim nations for
macaroni lies…as was the case in Syria.
Making
accusations is one thing, but waging war based on the absence of real provable evidence
or the absence of an investigation when the mechanisms are there is pure
insanity. The OPCW exists for exactly this reason and they were there ready to
conduct a thorough investigation…so why did this coalition of raving lunatics
attack hours before the investigation was to begin?
Sifting
through the wreckage:
Thank
goodness there were no casualties or further escalations from this serious
incident. So where do we go from here now that the dust has settled and the
smoke has cleared? Well, let’s pan out and take a closer look at the larger
picture…
71
of 103 US Coalition Missiles Shot Down
Although
the Russians claim that they did not shoot down any of the US, UK or French cruise
missiles that were fired at Syria on April 14th, the Russians did successfully
help the Syrian Army protect themselves from hostile aggression through the sharing
of information to shoot those missiles down.
In
fact, the Syrian Army shot down 71 of 103 US, UK, and French cruise missiles
using older Soviet made S125, S-200 and Buk missile systems. The rate of
success was very high considering that the US threw their very best at them if
Donald Trump’s twitter warning to the Russians can be believed.
Trumps
twitter Statement alone should call into question Donald Trump’s IQ if not his
ability to hold such a powerful position. The same can be said about UK Prime
Minister Theresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron for their unfounded claims
and sociopathic ravings for war.
Imagine
what the success rate would have been if the Syrian Army had the Russian S-300
or S-400 missile defence systems? I’m very sure that even fewer American and
European missiles would have gotten through if any at all…and the S-300 &
S-400 missile systems are not even the most advanced Russian Missile defence
systems as there is even an S-500 system as well.
Recently,
Russia unveiled their new advanced weapons systems which included, a nuclear
powered cruise missile with unlimited range, and a new missile with a Mach 20
capability named “Avangard” among others. Put quite simply, these weapons are
way past anything the US or EU has or will have for a long time, and so the
balance of power has changed significantly.

Strikes On Syria: PR Victory Or Decisive Failure?

Hard
Lessons
So,
what did the US, UK and French Governments learn about their illegal attack on
Syria? If they learnt anything, they’re certainly not talking openly about it, so
we must wait to see what their actions are in the next few days, weeks and
months. However, one thing is crystal clear, and it is this, the US Government
cannot wage a war and win like they once thought...that indeed was the lesson that
back room generals learned on April 14th, 2018.
What
Vladimir Putin and Russia have done by sitting back and allowing the Syrian’s
to defend themselves is to allow American hubris to choke itself into reality,
especially after Donald Trump threatened the Russians with missiles he claimed were
better smarter and more accurate. The US, UK and France ganged up on Syria and
shot the best they had at them with little success. I dare say they would have
no success at all if they shot at the Russians, so here endith the lesson.
Where
do We Go from Here?
Hopefully
the US deep state is not suicidal by deciding to launch a war in the near
future that they can’t win. It would be insane to continue down the road of war
with Russia because it would be the end of Europe and North America if they did.
Vladimir
Putin and Russia have bought us all a little more time…what is important for everyone
in the west to do in this moment of borrowed time is to stand up and hold their
political representatives accountable to international law and condemn them for
their failure to uphold it. THIS is the lesson that everyone needs to take away
from this very serious breech of international law and brush with world war III.
However, should the people choose the course of Apathy, it will give the
lunatics absolute free reign to do it again, and if that happens, there's no guarantee that we will avert World War III.
