Level of Trust Between Russia and America Kaput by Stephen Lendman Candidate Trump said “Putin has done a really great job…I think I’d get along very well with” him… “I have always felt that Russia and the United States should be able to work well with each other towards defeating terrorism and restoring world peace, not to mention trade and all of the other benefits derived from mutual respect.” “…(T)here’s nothing I can think of that I’d rather do than have Russia friendly, as opposed to the way they are right now, so that we can go and knock out ISIS with other people.” These and similar comments gave hope for improved ...

By firing off five dozen Tomahawk missiles at a military airfield, our “America First” president may have plunged us into another Middle East war that his countrymen do not want to fight.Thus far Bashar Assad seems unintimidated. Brushing off the strikes, he has defiantly gone back to bombing the rebels from the same Shayrat air base that the U.S. missiles hit.Trump “will not stop here,” warned U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Sunday. “If he needs to do more, he will.”If Trump fails to back up Haley’s threat, the hawks now cheering him on will begin deriding him as “Donald Obama.”But if he throbs to the war drums of John McCain, Lindsey Graham and ...

America First in War, Last in Peace by Stephen Lendman All US presidential aspirants make promises they intend breaking if elected - Trump no different than his predecessors. Straightaway in office, he sold out to Wall Street, war-profiteers and other corporate favorites. Instead of draining the swamp, he filled it with neocon generals and billionaires. Hyperbole calling NATO “obsolete” is long forgotten. So is his phony worker friendly trade agenda - protecting investors over consumers, reneging on halting jobs offshored to low-wage countries. Instead of changing destructive US policies, he’s pursuing them with vigor - notably by escalating wars in multiple theaters, ...
The Syria Barrel Bomb Hoax

The Syria Barrel Bomb Hoax by Stephen Lendman Phony accusations about Syrian use of CWs and barrel bombs are the propaganda equivalent of Saddam’s nonexistent WMDs. Repeated enough gets most people to believe these weapons are being used - to enlist support for escalated war against a sovereign state threatening no one. All wars are based on lies and deception. Truth-telling destroys their justification. Misreporting on Syria’s conflict is some of the worst in memory - willful disinformation to defend the indefensible. Under Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) supervision, Syria’s chemical weapons were destroyed. No evidence indicates any remain. ...
Selling Escalated War on Syria

Selling Escalated War on Syria by Stephen Lendman Selling war requires inventing enemies, fear-mongering, substituting fake news for truth-telling, manipulating public opinion, and manufacturing consent. Media scoundrels play along, feeding the public a steady diet of managed news misinformation, suppressing full and accurate reporting - featuring state-sponsored press agent journalism instead of the real thing, most people none the wiser. Since GHW Bush’s 1991 Gulf War, America raped and destroyed Iraq, Somalia, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Yemen. It colluded with Kiev’s war on Donbass, partnered in three Israeli wars on Gaza, and toppled governments in Haiti, ...

Russia and Iran Committed to Combat Terrorism in Syria by Stephen Lendman Trump administration officials demand Russia and Iran stop supporting Assad’s battle against terrorist invaders or face harsh recrimination and further alienation from Washington. They want their anti-terrorist operations halted, Assad ousted, replaced by a pro-Western stooge and Syrian sovereignty destroyed. On Sunday, Putin and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani discussed conditions in Syria. They called Trump’s aggression against a sovereign state a grave breach of international law, aiding terrorist groups instead of combating them, undermining peace talks instead of supporting them. On Monday, ...
Reports Of 150,000 Troops Moving On The Korean Border Are ‘Pure Fiction’

There “is no evidence” at this time of any significant troop movements along the Chinese-North Korean border, despite reports suggesting otherwise, the Department of Defense told The Daily Caller News Foundation Monday. Multiple media outlets are reporting that China has deployed 150,000 troops to the border for “unforeseen contingencies” believed to be the possibility of a U.S. pre-emptive strike on North Korea, such as the one President Donald Trump ordered on Syria last Thursday. U.S. Pacific Command refused to comment on foreign troop movements; however, they did tell TheDCNF that the first they had heard of Chinese troop movements along the border was when ...

Trump’s ‘Wag the Dog’ Moment

Exclusive: President Trump earned neocon applause for his hasty decision to attack Syria and kill about a dozen Syrians, but his rash act has all the earmarks of a “wag the dog” moment, reports Robert Parry. Just two days after news broke of an alleged poison-gas attack in northern Syria, President Trump brushed aside advice from some U.S. intelligence analysts doubting the Syrian regime’s guilt and launched a lethal retaliatory missile strike against a Syrian airfield. The guided-missile destroyer USS Porter conducts strike operations while in the Mediterranean Sea, April 7, 2017.

As Trump Seeks 'Options,' Military and Spies Are All Pushing Escalations Ongoing reports about President Trump seeking “options” for handling North Korea suggest that, with the administration having already declared diplomacy a “failure,” all options amount to some massive US escalation on the Korean Peninsula. On Friday, reports were emerging that one of the big “options” being advanced was for the United States to start deploying nuclear weapons into South Korea, a move which would both confront North Korea, and doubtless be seen as a massive provocation by nearby China. But there’s always an escalation beyond every escalation, and US ...
Fake News Reports Claim Assad Used White Phosphorous and Napalm

Fake News Reports Claim Assad Used White Phosphorous and Napalm by Stephen Lendman Trump’s Friday aggression on Syria was likely prelude for more to come - based on fabricated pretexts. Phony accusations are easy to make and stick when media scoundrels report them like Pentagon press releases. Trump’s approval rating rose from 36 - 41% after Friday’s attack. Most Americans likely believe fake news fed them, ignoring what’s most obvious. Why would Assad attack his own people he’s been defending for over six years? Why would he shoot himself in the foot? Why would he give Washington a pretext to intervene against him? Why would he destroy his legitimacy? Why ...

NYT: “Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson is taking a hard line against Russia on the eve of his first diplomatic trip to Moscow, calling the country ‘incompetent’ for allowing Syria to hold on to chemical weapons and accusing Russia of trying to influence elections in Europe using the same methods it employed in the United States.” WaPo: “Officials in the Trump administration on Sunday demanded that Russia stop supporting the Syrian government or face a further ...

Assad’s Response to Demands He Must Go by Stephen Lendman In June 2014, he was overwhelmingly reelected Syria’s president - through a democratic process international observers called open, free and fair. Syrians want no one else leading them. They alone have the right to decide, not foreign powers. He’s their legitimate president. Given his popularity, he could serve as long as he wishes. On numerous occasions, he said he’ll step aside if Syrians want another leader. Following the April 4 Kahn Sheikhoun CW attack, falsely blamed on Syria’s military, Secretary of State Tillerson said there’s “no role for (Assad) to govern the Syrian people.” US ...

Trump Vows More Pressure, Sanctions and War on Syria by Stephen Lendman America has been at war with Syria since launched by Obama in March 2011 - using ISIS, al-Nusra (al-Qaeda in Syria) and other terrorist groups as imperial foot soldiers. Trump earlier said he “inherited a mess.” His actions so far made a deplorable situation worse - in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and elsewhere abroad, along with domestic governance serving privileged interests exclusively. He’s a war criminal, a domestic and international law-breaker, a national disgrace, a threat to world peace, stability and security. Will nuclear war be waged on his watch? The unthinkable could become nightmarishly real, ...

Trump Wants Assad Ousted by Stephen Lendman Replacing him with a pro-Western puppet is what escalating US aggression in northern Syria and attacking its Shayrat airbase is all about. It’s also about destroying the Syrian Arab Republic, balkanizing it, looting its resources, exploiting its people, and creating longterm war-related violence, instability and chaos, a pretext for America’s regional presence. Will Trump order shock-and-awe terror-bombing of Damascus, repeating an Afghanistan/Iraq/Libya scenario? Obama bears full responsibility for destroying Aleppo, Syria’s commercial hub. Is Damascus next? On CNN’s State of the Union airing Sunday, neocon US UN envoy ...

WaPo Urges Aggression and Regime Change in Syria by Stephen Lendman The neocon Washington Post is a virtual CIA house organ. Its reporting and opinions reflect Langley’s diabolical agenda. Extremist Robert Kagan co-founded the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) - now called the Foreign Policy Institute (FPI), its sinister agenda unchanged, promoting endless wars of aggression for unchallenged US global dominance. In a WaPo opinion piece, he called for more aggression on Syria as part of US “military strategy to rebalance the situation in (the country) in America’s favor.” He urged establishing a no-fly zone, grounding Syria’s air force, arming ...

Ahead of Trump’s Friday attack on Syria’s Shayrat airbase, they issued a joint statement, calling for a US-led “international coalition to ground Assad’s air force” militarily. They deplorably urged escalating war to resolve it, claiming “(t)his is a test of the (Trump) administration, but also for our entire country.” “Assad is trying to see what he can get away with. The rest of the region and the world is also watching to ...

Interesting Hypothesis: An Anomalous Attack: Did Trump Just Expose the Deep State with an Ineffective Strike Against Syria?

There are numerous anomalies concerning the US Tomahawk cruise missile strike on a Syrian airbase outside of Homs yesterday — as there are serious questions not being asked by the mainstream media about the chemical weapons attack in Idlib that, the US says, provoked the missile strike. The chemical weapons attack has been shown from several angles to be a false flag operation, only the most recent in a series of such war-crimes perpetrated by the CIA-backed terrorist groups operating as mercenaries – not radical Islamists – in Syria and Iraq. Only a gullible and strategically-illiterate US public could buy the story that Assad would carry out such attacks on his own people, ...

Skip to about 1:15 if you want to spare yourself from this war cheerleader BS as much as possible and ...
Is North Korea Trump's Next Target?

Is North Korea Trump’s Next Target? by Stephen Lendman Since US war on North Korea ended with an uneasy 1953 armistice, Washington used the country for fear-mongering, rather than launching more aggression to topple its government. Does Trump intend changing longstanding policy - falsely calling Pyongyang a threat to US national security? It’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs are for defense, not offense, justifiably fearing US war, hoping its powerful weapons will deter it. Truman’s aggression turned much of the country to rubble, killing millions, mostly civilians. Pyongyang and Beijing want no repeat. Their leaders and top officials are pragmatic, not reckless ...

Tulsi v. Hillary on Syria by Stephen Lendman Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is Hawaii’s most popular politician - an anti-neocon, polar opposite most other congressional members supporting endless wars. She’s fundamentally against US aggression on Syria or any other country for regime change or any other reason. Hillary partnered in husband Bill’s high crimes, supported criminality as a US senator, orchestrated it as secretary of state. “What do we have NATO for if not to defend our way of life,” she once blustered. Post-9/11, she supported America’s war OF terror on humanity. She endorses nuclear weapons use, calling them peacekeeping deterrents. As a 2008 ...
