Neocon John McCain Urges Escalated Terror War on Syria by Stephen Lendman Washington’s rape and destruction of Syria so far isn’t good enough for lunatics like McCain, an unapologetic imperial spear carrier - indifferent to human suffering and rule of law principles. Wall Street Journal editors gave him feature op-ed space. “Stop Assad Now - Or Expect Years of War,” he headlined, blaming Syria’s democratically elected leader and Putin for Obama’s high crimes, failing to explain Syria was invaded by US-supported terrorists. McCain repeated the same litany of Big Lies other US officials and media scoundrels proliferate, suppressing hard reality on the ground. ...

The Case for the ‘Tactical Family’ Jeff Cantor | Thursday, October 6, 2016 at 7:30 am Editor’s Note: Due to Hurricane Matthew, you may not hear from us for a brief time. We will resume our normal schedule as soon as the storm passes. Forty years ago, I was a teenager avidly studying the combative arts for personal growth and self-defense. Never at that time did I realize it was my true passion. And I certainly did not grasp how important that early beginning would be to shaping my future. During that time, some of the biggest threats I had to consider were the upheavals of race riots and street confrontations with rival groups. The Vietnam War was coming to an end, but ...

NYT Reinvents America’s War on Syria by Stephen Lendman Legitimate editors wouldn’t touch daily rubbish featured on Times pages - supporting US imperial lawlessness, blaming victims for its high crimes, irresponsibly bashing Russia, the only world power going all-out for conflict resolution in Ukraine and Syria, systematically undermined by Washington. The Times lied, claiming Putin “sees…a prime window of opportunity…to strengthen Assad (during Obama’s) waning days” in office. Fact: He responsibly respects Syrian sovereignty, the rights of its people and fundamental rule of law principles Washington breaches unaccountably. He opposes America’s ...
John Kerry's Big Lies on Syria

John Kerry’s Big Lies on Syria by Stephen Lendman Wars need supportive lies to sustain them. Truth is their mortal enemy. Kerry’s involvement in Obama’s war on Syria makes him culpable for one of history’s great crimes. Addressing US NATO partners in Brussels on Tuesday, he repeated Big Lies long ago exposed. America is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism. Kerry turned truth on its head claiming US leadership in combating it. “(W)e have to persist in our effort to end the conflict in Syria,” he said - failing to explain Obama’s war for regime change, its responsibility for mass slaughter and destruction. Calling endless conflict “a ...

"We will beat you harder than you have ever been beaten before" Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley warned last night that the United States was ready to “destroy” its enemies in comments that were clearly directed at Russia. “I want to be clear to those who wish to do us harm….the United States military – despite all of our challenges, despite our [operational] tempo, despite everything we have been doing – we will stop you and we will beat you harder than you have ever been beaten before. Make no mistake about that,” said Milley. The General went on to warn that Russia and other countries had taken advantage of the U.S. being focused on ...
If America Attacks Russia, What's Next?

If America Attacks Russia, What’s Next? by Stephen Lendman Hugely dangerous flashpoint conditions in Syria head America increasingly closer to war on Russia - an unthinkable clash between the world’s dominant nuclear powers, madness perhaps becoming reality if Hillary succeeds Obama. Launching it would risk a potential doomsday scenario, a reckless red line crossed, a rubicon of no return, humanity threatened like never before. Imagine the devastating aftermath. Events would make post-9/11 ones seem almost inconsequential by comparison. Virtually certain martial law and constitutional suspension would follow, full-blown tyranny replacing what remains of rule of law governance. ...

US Considers Military Option Against Syria by Stephen Lendman America’s rage for global dominance through brute force makes geopolitical conditions today more perilous than any previous time in world history. Hugely dangerous flashpoint conditions in Syria show Washington heading recklessly toward confronting Russia militarily - unthinkable if occurs, increasingly likely given today’s events. Neocons infesting Washington want Assad ousted, putting them at loggerheads with Russia’s support for Syrian sovereign independence, territorial integrity and right of its people alone to choose who’ll lead them, free from outside interference in accordance with international ...

Neocon Washington Post Urges Escalated US War on Syria by Stephen Lendman In March 2011, America launched proxy war on Syria, raping a nonbelligerent country, using ISIS and other terrorist fighters as imperial foot soldiers - Pentagon warplanes supporting them. WaPo editors urge escalated US intervention, wanting one of history’s great crimes made more horrific than already. A same day article explained it’s being considered. Whether implementation follows remains to be seen. Media scoundrels feature deplorable managed news misinformation and Big Lies - truth and full disclosure suppressed, especially when America goes to war. “On September 19, Russian and Syrian planes ...

Assuming that international law is on the side of the exceptional country and its allies, what can the shining city on top of the hill do to stop this ongoing massacre of Syrians?.

Intractable US/Russia Agendas in Syria

Intractable US/Russia Agendas in Syria by Stephen Lendman Russia intends pursuing diplomatic conflict resolution no matter the futility of trying. “We are not giving up and will spare no effort to have…Security Council resolutions (on Syria) implemented,” Sergey Lavrov explained. America’s sole objective is regime change. No alternatives exist. War won’t end until it prevails or unless Russia and Syria defeat its scourge militarily. Diplomacy with an adversary bent on world conquest and dominance represents an exercise in futility. Whatever America agrees to, it systematically breaches, at times straightaway like in Syria. Irreconcilable differences separate ...

US Never Serious About Conflict Resolution in Syria by Stephen Lendman America doesn’t wage wars to quit - not since its humiliating April 30, 1975 Saigon embassy rooftop exit, ending its longest ever war, surpassed in duration by continuing aggression in Afghanistan - a forever war, perhaps never to end in our lifetimes. Many months of Russia/US talks for cessation of hostilities and conflict resolution in Syria were doomed from their outset - so-called bilateral cooperation more fantasy than real. Monday’s State Department announced “suspension of participation in bilateral channels with Russia established to sustain the cessation of hostilities in Syria” ...

Syria the Epicenter of Combating US-Sponsored Terrorism by Stephen Lendman America represents the greatest threat to world peace, stability and security. No earlier nation matched its villainy, its Machiavellian evil, its imperial ruthlessness - raping nations, killing millions, turning its own disadvantaged communities into battlegrounds, threatening cataclysmic nuclear war if launched. Interviewed by the Tehran Foreign Policy Studies Quarterly, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Washington fears Iran’s 1979 liberating revolution may inspire other oppressed people to rise up the same way. Since WW II, America only succeeded in ravaging and destroying countries, he explained. It ...

US Suspends Nonexistent Cooperation with Russia on Syria by Stephen Lendman Hegemons don’t cooperate. They demand. Throughout months of US/Russia talks on cessation of hostilities as an important conflict resolution step, Washington pretended to cooperate with Moscow. Sergey Lavrov pretended to believe John Kerry negotiated in good faith, knowing America’s sordid history of breaching virtually all agreements with counterparties, especially adversarial ones like Russia. As long as Washington wants all sovereign independent governments replaced by puppet regimes subservient to US interests, conflicts in Syria and elsewhere remain unresolvable. Endless talks are fruitless, ...

NYT Blames Russia for US Sabotaging Talks on Syria by Stephen Lendman Throughout years of conflict, Times reporting has been entirely one-sided, cheerleading US imperial lawlessness, never explaining Obama’s naked aggression against a nonbelligerent country - using ISIS and other terrorists as imperial foot soldiers. On Tuesday, it highlighted US suspension of Syria talks with Moscow, saying “(t)he United States… accus(ed) the Kremlin of joining with the Syrian Air Force in carrying out a brutal bombing campaign against the besieged city of Aleppo.” Fact: Syria was invaded. War isn’t civil. Damascus and Moscow fully comply with international law in combating the ...

The mid-September 2016 a series of events that could be interpreted as retaliation in kind appears to have been intentionally overlooked and totally buried by Western mainstream media. 17 September 2016: U.S. admits carrying out airstrike that Russia says killed 62 Syrian soldiers 21 September 2016: U.S. Coalition Intelligence “Operations Room” Inside Syria, Destroyed by Russian Missile Attack: Thirty Israeli, American, British, Turkish, Saudi, Qatari Intelligence Officials Killed Why is the public deprived of any further explanations and analysis of key events associated with what “appears to be an intelligence failure.” of the United States?

Humanity’s Most Urgent Priority: Defeating the Scourge of US Imperialism by Stephen Lendman America’s longterm plan for unchallenged global dominance is humanity’s greatest threat - naked aggression its main strategy of choice, raping one country after another on the phony pretexts of waging war on terrorism and humanitarian intervention. It’s heading for unthinkable nuclear war on Russia and China, its final solution to eliminate the only nations able to contest its megalomaniacal aims. Since the neoliberal 90s, each US administration has been more belligerent than preceding ones. Police state laws replaced constitutional governance. Neocons exerting enormous ...

Illegally Imposed US and EU Sanctions on Syria Harm Civilians Most by Stephen Lendman Security Council members alone may impose sanctions on nations, groups, enterprises and individuals, not individual countries. Sino/Russian vetoes prevented wrongful imposition of SC sanctions since Obama launched naked US aggression on Syria in March 2011. Washington and EU nations illegally imposed them multiple times on their own, violating UN Charter principles, as well as the General Assembly’s 1974 Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States. It prohibits nations from using or encouraging use of economic, political or other measures to coerce another country to subordinate its sovereign ...

Hillary’s Lunatic No-Fly Zone Intention in Syria Means War on Russia by Stephen Lendman Hillary represents the neocon lunatic fringe of US politics, an emotionally unstable unapologetic hawk unfit to serve, militantly anti-Russia, anti-China, anti-Iran, anti-world peace and stability. The likelihood of her succeeding Obama should terrify everyone worldwide. Dare we wait for nuclear war to begin before realizing the horror of her as president and commander-in-chief of America’s military - able to wage war on any adversary on her say alone, rule of law principles be damned. One of her top priorities is ousting Assad, no-fly zone imposition a key tactic she favors, a lunatic ...

Russia and Syria Blamed for US Imperial Crimes by Stephen Lendman Syria was invaded, America fully responsible for naked aggression against a nonbelligerent nation, its rogue partners sharing blame. Self-defense is a universal right. Syrian forces continue heroically defending their homeland, challenged by US-supported terrorists and Pentagon-led “coalition” terror-bombing, targeting vital infrastructure, massacring civilians and soldiers - Assad wrongfully blamed for imperial ruthlessness devastating his country. Since Russia responsibly intervened a year ago at his behest, it’s been wrongfully blamed for crimes committed by US-supported terrorists and its terror-bombing ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- The differences between the US and Russia have complicated the situation in Syria, while Washington is expected to intensify the ongoing war in the Arab country, a Lebanese newspaper wrote. According to al-Akhbar daily, the failure of the ceasefire and the current crisis between the US and Russia is a warning for the further exacerbation of the situation in Syria. The US administration needs a field victory to maintain its internal credibility until the formation of the new government, but Damascus and its allies don’t intend to surrender. But Washington has enough time to play all its cards and it needs no withdrawal as the war is not threatening its borders and ...

Syrians Die While Diplomacy Accomplishing Nothing Continues by Stephen Lendman Diplomacy is always the preferred way to resolve conflicts - with an important proviso vital to stress. Parties involved must share a common goal - not so in Syria. Russia, Syria, Iran and freedom-loving people everywhere want peace and stability restored. Washington wants aggression it initiated continued to oust Assad, destroy the Syrian Arab Republic’s sovereignty, pillage its resources, exploit its people and likely balkanize the country for easier control - at the same time eliminating an Israeli rival, isolating Iran, then repeating the same strategy against the Islamic Republic. Longstanding US ...

"If the United States and South Korea harm the strategic security interests of countries in the region including China, then they are destined to pay the price for this and receive a proper counter attack," the paper added, without elaborating. BEIJING (Reuters) - The United States and South Korea are destined to "pay the price" for their decision to deploy an advanced missile defense system which will inevitably prompt a "counter attack", China's top newspaper said on Saturday. Tension on the Korean peninsula has been high this year, beginning with North Korea's fourth nuclear test in January, which was followed by a satellite launch, a string of ...

Russia Ramping Up Its Aerial Campaign in Syria by Stephen Lendman In March, Russia withdrew the “main part” of its warplanes and ground support personnel from Syria - a strategic error, US-supported terrorists taking full advantage to regroup, rearm and mobilize for more attacks. At the time, Putin said “I think that the tasks set (by) the defense ministry are generally fulfilled… With the participation of Russia’s military, Syrian troops and patriotic forces…turn(ed) the tide in the fight against international terrorism and took the initiative on practically all directions.” His remarks proved premature, recognized when Russia’s aerial campaign ...
