Is U.S. risking big war over Syria?
US-Saudi-Israeli supported terrorists are being routed by Syria and their allies.
Does Syria have the right to fight against the US sponsored regime change operation inside its own country? Does Syria have the right to seek allies like Iran and Russia to help defend its sovereignty?
Should it be remembered that Israel wants that part of Syria to grab their oil deposits?
Iran knows its on the list for regime change - likely next on the list if you listen to John Bolton.
Russia knows its on the list for regime change too - the US has been talking about balkanizing Russia for years.
Thus things come to a head in Syria. The US-Saudi-Israeli alliance thought the take over of Syria would be easy. It was until Russia and Iran came on side with Damascus.
Now the US resorts to constant false flag chemical attacks in Syria to justify its continued illegal operations which are aimed at over throwing a legitimate government. This is a war crime under international law but the US only wants to talk about 'international law' when it works for Washington - other wise fa-get-a-bout-it!
This war in Syria started in 2011 under Obama. Syria rejected the use of its country for a pipeline route that US-Saudi-Qatar supported. Wiki Leaks uncovered State Department cables giving the go-ahead for the CIA to create, arm, train and fund a terrorist force to overthrow the Syrian government.
With all the fracking going on across the US the fossil fuel corporations need an expanded market for that gas. Thus Washington is working over time to force Europe to reject Russian and Iranian gas and sign up for the more expensive American supply. This is a key reason why many European nations are souring on America's policies.
It's come to a head as the US (and its murderous friends) are being stood up to. The playground bully which is used to being on top is now being told those days are over. We are watching the outcome of US arrogance and aggression.
What we each do can help lessen the carnage to people, the environment, and the resulting refugee crisis.
