Is Trump backtracking on his campaign promises? Not looking good at all at the moment.

Den Haag
De eerste reacties van politiek Den Haag op de Amerikaanse aanval op een luchtmachtbasis in Syrië zijn instemmend. ‘Begrijpelijk’, zeggen VVD en GroenLinks.

‘Een begrijpelijke en zeer waarschijnlijk ook te rechtvaardigen militaire vergeldingsactie van de Amerikanen’, zegt VVD-Kamerlid Han ten Broeke. De VVD’er wijst al sinds 2013 op het gevaar van het verwateren van de norm dat chemische wapens niet mogen worden gebruikt. De toenmalige president Barack Obama greep niet in na een gifgasaanval die toen plaatsvond in Syrië. Ten Broeke: ‘Waarna we vele chloorgasaanvallen, de inzet van mosterdgas en nu zelfs opnieuw sarin hebben gezien.’ Volgens de VVD’er is ‘de centrale vraag nu of het signaal dat uitgaat van deze gerichte, beperkte en vooral symbolisch aanval gezien moet worden als vergelding of als regime-change.’

GroenLinks-Kamerlid Bram van Ojik: ‘Iedereen die de gevolgen van de gifgasaanval heeft gezien, begrijpt dat een reactie niet uit kon blijven. Wel is het essentieel dat deze reactie van tot nu toe zo onvoorspelbare Trump wordt ingebed in bredere internationale inzet om Assad ter verantwoording te roepen en herhaling te voorkomen.’

Minister Koenders
De Amerikaanse luchtaanval op een Syrische legerbasis ‘is wel op zijn plaats’, vindt minister Bert Koenders van Buitenlandse Zaken. Hij heeft begrip voor de ‘forse waarschuwing’ voor het Syrische regime, dat volgens hem herhaaldelijk de Verenigde Naties heeft getart door onder meer de installatie van chemische wapens.

De minister riep ook op tot de-escalatie. ‘We moeten terugkeren naar de weg van de VN, die is nu heel belangrijk. Het belangrijkste is dat dit moet bijdragen aan een terugkeer naar de onderhandelingstafel.’

Missile strike on Syria: International community reacts to unilateral US military action duurt 5 minuten.

Gepubliceerd op 7 apr. 2017

The office of Syrian President Bashar Assad called the US strike “reckless”,“irresponsible” and “shortsighted,” claiming the motives the strike weren’t based on true facts. Meanwhile, European countries have expressed support for the assault, including France, Germany, the UK and Italy.

Beste lezers,
Er komt nu een stroom van artikelen en video’s binnen, maar vandaag heb ik geen tijd om te lezen en te kijken. Uit de headlines blijkt in elk geval dat de afspraak tussen Rusland en de VS om niet op elkaar te schieten, door Rusland is afgezegd. Ook is er een Russisch fregat op weg naar de Middellandse Zee, naar de Amerikaanse oorlogsschepen die de schoten hebben gelost. Er zal vandaag nog wel veel meer nieuws komen…
Ik geef alleen even de link naar de laatste nieuwsbrief van Information Clearing House, waar een reeks van commentaren staat. Link even door!

Heb een prettige zaterdag en weet dat Rusland rustig blijft, waardoor WW III nog net niet is begonnen.

CrossTalk: Trump’s War duurt 25 minuten.

In a sharp reversal, Donald Trump has decided to attack Syria. It would seem fighting Islamic State is not his top priority now. The consequences of this decision could be dire. Is this a war Trump can win? CrossTalking with Dmitry Babich, Mark Sleboda, and Marcus Papadopoulos.

Syrian Gas Attack is a Lie – “Stop Your Governments!” – Russia duurt 9 minuten.

Gepubliceerd op 7 apr. 2017

On April 7th, US warships delivered an illegal blow to a Syrian airbase in Homs. Their justification was the recent “chemical weapon” attack on behalf of the Syrian government in Idlib. The Kremlin condemned the strike as an act of aggression against a sovereign state, and a violation of international law. Meanwhile, at the UN, representatives of Western governments attempt to push through a resolution that is based on information taken out of thin air. It includes the removal of Assad, whether or not he was behind the attack.

It is noteworthy, that the only real source of information on what took place, are the videos made by the White Helmets, an infamous propaganda organisation as it pertains to the Syrian civil war. In this clip, Maria Zakharova calls on Western respresenatives/ journalists to hear Russia, and what it has to say. The attack against the Syrian government, much like the Ghouta gas attack in 2013, which precipitated the Syrian civil war, is a giant facade for the military industrial warhawks in the US, to put their money where their mouth is.

Ron Paul on Syria gas attack: ‘It doesn’t make sense. Zero chance Assad did this.’ duurt 13 minuten.

The Khan Sheikoun Show – A New President Proudly Presented By Trump Productions

The “chemical attack” at Khan Sheikoun was faked and a show; though a number of people were killed or hurt during its production.

This video for example, of doctors and patients in an emergence room was pure theater, taken over a longer time period. The main presenter was a well-known criminal Takfiri but with links to the British secret service. The whole show was perfected, by specialists one would think, to fit for U.S. TV screens.

There were no scenes, zero in all the coverage, that showed casualties in places where they were surprised by gas and died. No basement was searched, no place of work or living was shown – only rescue centers. The male “victims” were clean shaven, despite living in al-Qaeda land. They even had two blond “Syrian” kids in there (vid) to convince the racist constituency that “revenge” was needed and just. A cut right out of Wag The Dog (vid). It is now racist to object to the war!

US threatens more pressure on Syria

The United States will keep up the pressure on Syria after its intense overnight wave of missile strikes, despite the prospect of escalating Russian ill will that could further inflame one of the world’s most vexing conflicts.

Standing firm, the Trump administration on Friday signalled new sanctions would soon follow the missile attack and the Pentagon was even probing whether Russia itself was involved in the chemical weapons assault that compelled President Donald Trump to action.

Activists: Civilians among 21 killed in US-led Syria strikes

By The Associated Press

BEIRUT — Apr 8, 2017, 12:23 PM ET

U.S.-led coalition aircraft struck two locations in northern Syria on Saturday, killing at least 21 people, including a woman and her six children who were on a boat fleeing clashes between the Islamic State group and U.S.-backed fighters, activist groups said.

Activist groups that operate in IS-held territory and are opposed to the militants have reported increasing numbers of civilian deaths from U.S.-led airstrikes in recent weeks. The coalition is providing support to a Syrian Kurdish-led force that is on the offensive against the extremist group.

Thousands of people in areas held by IS are trying to flee the violence as preparations are underway to capture the northern city of Raqqa, the extremists’ de facto capital. Activists and residents have said the militants are forcing civilians to stay in order to use them as human shields once the offensive on Raqqa begins.

Leaflets dropped by coalition warplanes in recent weeks gave confusing directions — one suggests areas closer to the Euphrates River are safer, but another warns that boats crossing the river will be struck.
