The latest US cruise missile attack on the Syrian airbase is an extremely important event in so many ways that it is important to examine it in some detail. I will try to do this today with the hope to be able to shed some light on a rather bizarre attack which will nevertheless have profound consequences. But first, let’s begin by looking at what actually happened.

The pretext:

I don’t think that anybody seriously believes that Assad or anybody else in the Syrian government really ordered a chemical weapons attack on anybody. To believe that it would require you to find the following sequence logical: first, Assad pretty much wins the war against Daesh which is in full retreat. Then, the US declares that overthrowing Assad is not a priority anymore (up to here this is all factual and true). Then, Assad decides to use weapons he does not have. He decides to bomb a location with no military value, but with lots of kids and cameras. Then, when the Russians demand a full investigation, the Americans strike as fast as they can before this idea gets any support. And now the Americans are probing a possible Russian role in this so-called attack. Frankly, if you believe any of that, you should immediately stop reading and go back to watching TV. For the rest of us, there are three options:

a classical US-executed false flag a Syrian strike on a location which happened to be storing some kind of gas, possibly chlorine, but most definitely not sarin. This option requires you to believe in coincidences. I don’t. Unless, the US fed bad intelligence to the Syrians and got them to bomb a location where the US knew that toxic gas was stored.

What is evident is that the Syrians did not drop chemical weapons from their aircraft and that no chemical gas was ever stored at the al-Shayrat airbase. There is no footage showing any munitions or containers which would have delivered the toxic gas. As for US and other radar recordings, all they can show is that an aircraft was in the sky, its heading, altitude and speed. There is no way to distinguish a chemical munition or a chemical attack by means of radar.

Whatever option you chose, the Syrian government is obviously and self-evidently innocent of the accusation of having used chemical weapons. This is most likely a false flag attack.

The problem is that every sign of Russian caution and every Russian attempt to de-escalate the situation (be it in the Ukraine, with Turkey or in Syria) has always been interpreted by the West as a sign of weakness. This is what happens when there is a clash between a culture which places a premium on boasting and threatening and one which believes in diplomacy and negotiations.

Seems a very credible write-up, this quote being one of many good points.

The US military is obviously the biggest budgeted in the world, by far, being bigger than the next 12 or more biggest spenders combined. Americans are probably overconfident. How ready are US personnel to face true hostility?

When Iran captured those 2 patrol boats that strayed or drifted into Iranian waters, word is the crew readily gave the Iranians the passwords to the computer equipment onboard. I remember when that electronic eavesdropping aircraft collided with an escorting Chinese fighter off the coast of China, the pilot, instead of ditching the highly classified aircraft in the ocean decided instead to land it at a Chinese military air base. The public honored them as heroes for bravely enduring the captivity and the US military couldn't come out and say they royally screwed up as it would be too embarrassing.

I think both of those incidents reflect the mentality that's prevelent in the US military. That the US is invincible and there is nothing to fear from any other countries. And I think that will bite the US in the butt one day.

Perhaps the most serious lesson will come with a volley of relatively cheap anti-ship missiles launched by some semi-3rd world country like Iran destroys an entire fleet of modern US ships. Just as the US military erroneously failed to see the power of the battleship was being eclipsed by aircraft before Pearl Harbor, massive task forces with carriers will be made obsolete by relatively cheap but sophisticated anti-ship missiles that poor countries will be able to afford.

Today's military are mercenaries who don't believe in any cause other than No. 1. When McCain was not tried for treason under the general amnesty, why should any other soldier or sailor do any different than he did.
