The national security advisor needs to impose order on the administration's foreign policy. Memo for: Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, National Security Advisor Subject: A Modest Suggestion You have a lot on your plate just now, so I apologize for this intrusion. But you come from a world that values discipline. And I’m guessing that you appreciate the danger posed by the absence of discipline now emerging as a dominant trait of the administration of which you are a senior member. You have joined a team whose members take apparent pride in contradicting one another (or themselves) from one day to the next. True, in certain circumstances, “a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- A Russian daily said the country's fighter jets have possibly targeted and downed 36 US' Tomahawk missiles fired by the American warships at Shayrat military airports in Southwestern Homs last week. The Russian language Nezavisimaya Gazeta daily reported that 36 Tomahawk cruise missiles that the US navy fired at the Syrian Shayrat airbase on Thursday were possibly intercepted by the Russian warplanes. The paper wrote that this is unlikely that the US missiles were targeted by S300 or S400 air defense systems that are protecting Tartus and Humeimim bases because Tomahawk missiles. The Russian daily wrote that the US' missiles were possibly targeted by Sukhoi-35s ...

Russian President Vladimir Putin says Moscow-Washington relations have worsened since US President Donald Trump took office in January. "You can say that the level of trust on a working level, especially on the military side, has not improved but most likely worsened (under Trump)," Putin said in an interview published on Wednesday. Touching on last week’s suspected chemical attack in Syria, which Western countries blamed on the Syrian government, Putin said the explosion was either due to the Syrian air force bombing on a militant chemical arms depot or the militantinvasion of Iraq.

War is like crack for presidents. It confers instant gravitas, catapulting them to respectability, bypassing all station stops. They get to make macho pronouncements on a topic where every utterance is seen as august. On the other hand, Trump’s Syrian misadventure is immoral, violates every promise he ran on, and could sink his presidency. Video Syrian people do not want Assad as leader: Haley Left to his own devices, uncontaminated by Washington group-think, Trump gets it right. Back in 2013, when President Obama was being egged on to attack Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack far more sweeping than this latest one, Trump tweeted: ...

A world in turmoil, thank you Mr. Trump! The real Donald Trump has been exposed. The man who promised a sensible and non-interventionist Middle Eastern policy and a reset with Moscow has now reneged on both pledges. His nitwit United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley has directly linked Russia and Syria for punishment by the omnipotent Leader of the Free World lest anyone be confused. The unconscionable attack on Syria based on the usual unsubstantiated allegations has shifted the playing field dramatically, with the “new sheriff in town” apparently intent on proving he is a real man who can play hardball with the rest of them. Last week Syria was blamed by all and sundry in the ...

We’ve gone from “America first” to “Trump first” Trump came into office touting his “America First agenda,” disdaining NATO, and asking “Why is it a bad thing to get along with Russia?” He told us he abjured “regime change” and held up Libya as an example of bad policy. Now he’s turned on a dime, bombing Syria, and welcoming tiny (and troubled) Montenegro into NATO. His intelligence agencies are even accusing Russia of having advance knowledge of the alleged chemical attack in Syria (although the White House disputed that after it got out). And all this in the first one hundred days! How did this happen? It’s easy to ...
US chemical attack claims against Syria like 2003 Iraq war plot: Putin

PressTV... Russian President Vladimir Putin says the recent US missile strike on a Syrian air base over an alleged chemical attack was reminiscent of a plot hatched in the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Speaking at a joint press conference with his Italian counterpart, Sergio Mattarella, in Moscow on Tuesday, Putin said Washington invaded Iraq following false allegations that it possessed chemical weapons. “Then the US representative at the UN Security Council showed alleged chemical weapons found in Iraq,” he said, adding that the military intervention “ended with the country's destruction, with the growth of the terrorist threat and the appearance of the ... ...

RT... US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has expressed doubt that the Ukrainian conflict is a point of interest for US taxpayers, his French counterpart Jean-Marc Ayrault has said, Reuters reports. According to Ayrault, Tillerson openly questioned why American taxpayers should be concerned about the situation in Ukraine.

PMF... Here it comes again. As the enemies of peace continue to pressure a new US President into deeper war commitments overseas, and as Washington's Deep State works relentlessly opposing Russian moves in Syria at every turn, the war drums have started again - beating harder than ever now, clamouring for a new US-led attack on Syria. This morning we saw the familiar theme emerge, and just in time to provide a convenient backdrop to this week's Brussels' 'Peace Talks' and conference on "Syria's Future". The US-led 'Coalition' prepares to make its end-run into Syria to 'Retake Raqqa,' and impose its Safe Zones in order to partition Syria, ...

America's foremost expert in international affairs, having served under 5 Presidents, instrumental in the Camp David accords, in addition to playing a key role in regime changes around the globe for decades, Dr. Steve Pieczenik exploded with rage on the Alex Jones show yesterday -- warning Trump and his team that war crimes would follow if they pursued a neocon agenda of war in Syria, which the American people do not want. "This is a warning to our generals, Mcmaster, and others, who think they can do a regime change in Syria.

On April 9, I expressed a negative opinion of Trump’s new Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson: “From what I read that the new Secretary of State has been saying, he doesn’t know zilch about Russian politics or diplomacy. This isn’t surprising since his career has been in the oil business. I think he’s going to be a disaster in this political post. He should go back to the oil business.” The next day, Tillerson makes this expansive statement: “We rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocents anywhere in the world.” All right, this was commemorating a German Nazi massacre committed in Italy in 1944.

British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson attempted to persuade G7 representatives to apply new sanctions against Russia after last week's chemical attack on Syrian civilians. April 11 (UPI) -- British and U.S. officials on Tuesday were unable to persuade fellow G7 representatives to adopt new sanctions against Russia in the wake of a Syrian chemical attack as U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson issued a new ultimatum to Moscow. While representatives of the seven nations meeting in Lucca, Italy, agreed that no solution to the Syrian crisis would be found while Syrian President Bashar al-Assad remained in power, they were unable to agree on economic sanctions against Russia.

David Stockman has agreed to send every Antiwar.com reader a free copy of his newest book, Trumped! when you take his special Contra Corner offer. Click here now for the details. The Donald’s missile "attack" on Syria’s al-Shairat air base is surely the most impetuous, thoughtless, reckless and stupid act from the Oval Office that we can remember – and that covers 50 years at least. And we put "attack" in quotes because it’s now evident that virtually every one of those $1.4 million per copy Tomahawks amounted to a big fat nothing-burger. To wit, 36 of the 59 missile were duds and landed somewhere that was not the al-Shairat air base, including a ...

PMF... Kremlin, angry at Syria missile strike, says Putin won't meet Tillerson " MOSCOW The Kremlin said on Monday that U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will not meet President Vladimir Putin when he visits Moscow on Wednesday, a move that could point to tensions over a U.S. missile attack on a Syrian air base last week. John Kerry, Tillerson's predecessor, often met Putin as well as the Russian foreign minister when he visited Moscow, and Putin granted several audiences to the Texan when he ran oil major Exxon Mobil before taking his current job. Putin even personally awarded Tillerson a top Russian state award -- the Order of Friendship -- in 2013, and it was widely ...

Donald Trump’s airstrikes in Syria are tragic proof that he is just as eager to wage actual warfare as he is to wage economic warfare. Yet there should be nothing surprising about his recent attacks. Military intervention does not represent a reversal of Trump’s deeply-held values (if he has any), nor is it a subversion of good intentions by malevolent forces in US politics. He is simply staying true to his word, for once. Trump was never a peace candidate. Even during his campaign, he never criticized foreign intervention on principle, or took a strong stand against regime change and imperialism—a few vague Tweets about Obama’s foreign policy do not a ...

The White Helmets – here are a few facts that you need to know. Share this to your family and friends who subsist on Western corporate media: * The White Helmets, also called Syria Civil Defence, are not who they claim to be. The group is not Syrian; it was created with USA/UK funding under the supervision of a British military contractor in 2013 in Turkey. * The name “Syria Civil Defence” was stolen from the legitimate Syrian organization of the same name. The authentic Syria Civil Defence was founded in 1953 and is a founding member of the International Civil Defense Organization (1958). * The name “White Helmets” was inappropriately taken from the legitimate ...

Is this the start of World War III? That's what people are worried about. Syria, Russia and Iran all condemned the U.S. missile strike on a Syrian military base. Russia has suspended the "deconfliction agreement," which prevents U.S. fighter jets from coming into conflict with Russian jets in the region. USA TODAY President Trump ordered a missile launch against Syria on Friday, in response to a [fake] chemical weapons attack. And some are wondering (seriously and with memes) whether this is the start of World War III. Poster's comment: There have been five mass extinction events in Earth's history.

Chemical Weapons: President Assad’s Personal “Redline”
Post Date: 2017-04-10 04:50:13 by Tatarewicz

Damascus, Syria (9:10 P.M.) For decades, the Syrian government has adopted a zero-tolerance policy when dealing with groups which pose a direct threat to a stable and secular Syrian state. Their security forces have adopted tactics and measures which many deem excessive, or overly robust. However, looking back at key events in Syria, it is abundantly clear that using Syria’s arsenal of chemical weapons on domestic targets has been a redline for President Bashar Al-Assad, and his late father, Hafez Al-Assad. Such weapons were synthesized and stockpiled as a deterrent to Israel’s nuclear weapons program. Although Syria only began building and developing its own chemical weapons ...
