State Dept Claims Syria Chemical Attack, Blames Russia

Last week, Trump announced removing Americans from Syria unless Saudis pay for it. Therefore, killing innocent people in a chemical attack in order to keep Americans in Syria and flare up another round of bombardment of Syrian government's military was necessary. Of course, it is very hard to convince anyone that Syrian government killed its citizens at the time when they are winning the war against the remaining Saudi and American supported rebels. The following is the latest news:

BREAKING: 'AIRSTRIKE on Syria' reports of fighter jets and missiles over Lebanon

REPORTS of explosions have been heard at Syria’s Tiyas Military Airbase amid reports of jets flying across Lebanon into Syria as well as unknown projectiles, it has been reported.

Lebanon residents have reported hearing unidentified jets towards Syria.

Speculation is rising of a foreign attack against the Syrian regime just a day after a chemical attack.

It happened roughly at 3.30am local time on Monday.

Residents reported hearing loud booms and the sound of jets.

There are reports that Syrian air defence has intercepted missiles.

There are also reports that US warships from the Mediterranean are reportedly launching tomahawk missiles into Syria.

Syrian state television has reportedly confirmed

Reports are not confirmed so far, but video has emerged showing an unknown object flying across the sky in Lebanon.

One Twitter user said: “We're already under attack at this very moment!”

Another said: “USA lauches widespread assault on SyAF infrastructure. Warships are now positioning to launch tomahawks in the second wave of attacks.”

Speculation is rising of a foreign attack against the Syrian regime just a day after a chemical attack.

A new flare-up of violence in the last rebel-held city in Eastern Ghouta has served as an opportunity for the US State Department to claim chemical weapons were being used. The allegations were quickly endorsed by the White Helmets, a Syrian medical NGO active in a number of rebel territories. The White Helmets are often making allegations of war crimes in Syria.

40 were killed Friday, and scores more Saturday, in airstrikes against Douma. There is no conclusive evidence that this was anything other than a conventional attack, and indeed conventional airstrikes often kill that many people. In fact, the BBC originally claimed 150 killed, later reducing the figure to 70, saying “A tweet – later deleted – by the White Helmets put the number of dead at 150.”

Images of dead bodies are common enough too after such strikes, but combining them with a story that everyone suffocated on some exotic gas makes it a much bigger story. It also is in keeping with the State Department’s interest in boosting international calls for regime change.

It also plays well in international politics, as the State Department is insisting that whatever happened in Douma is ultimately Russia’s fault, and that “Russia ultimately bears responsibility for the brutal targeting of countless Syrians with chemical weapons.”

Evidence has been lacking in claims of chemical attacks by Syria’s government, and proof has been non-existent. US officials, however, never let uncertainty get in the way of a good story, and will not only be repeating this claim as unquestioned fact for years to come, but as seen last year, may use it as a pretext for a military strike on Syrian forces.
