Christof Lehmann – Washington, London and Paris Pushing for Middle East War on Fabricated WMD Claims
The White House decision is accompanied by strongly biased “chemical weapons use” rhetoric and false claims of “evidence”, while Syrian and Russian demands for a full investigation of all incidents of chemical weapons use are omitted.
With the Syrian military continuing to win decisive victories over the foreign-backed insurgents, military experts consider it implausible that arms deliveries alone would change the tide in favor of the subversion.
Suspicions about plans for a direct military intervention are growing…
…
A victory of the Syrian armed forces over the main body of western paid and armed terrorists in Syria has become all but unavoidable. The last major battle before a decisive victory can be declared is the planned battle to clean out terrorist brigades from Aleppo.
Increased weapons deliveries cannot change the outcome. If US – French and British strategy aims at controlling the regions resources or at denying Iran, Syria and Russia to develop them, a direct military engagement is unavoidable. The current situation, in which Russia is attempting to create a regional strategic balance could easily turn into a regional war, and the risk for a regional war is growing by the day.
Sen kan man fundera över varför Carl Bildt uttalar sig kritiskt om USA’s nya planer på att direkt förse de väpnade gängen med vapen. En spricka som blir allt tydligare mellan en amerikansk fraktion av västs finans-ayatollor (som Bildt då tillhör, och även Obama i det här fallet, även om det tycks som att han blivit hotad till eftergifter just nu) och en israelisk-brittisk-fransk? Eller att han försöker ge sken av självständighet och oberoende nu när det talas om att skicka en skandinavisk FN-styrka till Golan?

“I don’t think the way forward is to get an arms race going in Syria. There’s a risk that that would undermine the conditions for a political process,” Bildt said in a Friday TV interview.

US President Barack Obama and the leaders of France, Germany, Britain and Italy using a videolink had ”an extensive exchange on the subject of the G8 (summit) and in particular on Syria,” the aide to President Francois Hollande said.
The conference took place after the White House said it had concluded that Syria had crossed a US red line by using chemical weapons against rebels battling President Bashar al-Assad’s forces, and that Washington would step up military support to the rebels.

Det kan inte vara på något annat sätt än som jag skrev i förra inlägget, det här ser mycket hotfullt ut. – Så rustar USA för krig i Syrien – Dessa de allra mörkaste primitiva makter som finns i bakgrunden är inte vana att inte få som dom vill, att de inte lyckats få bort Syriens president är något de upplever som outhärdligt.
Frågan är hur Ryssland, Kina och Iran m.fl. agerar om galningarna verkligen anfaller!?
english.ruvr.ru – Sending US arms to Syrian opposition may result in direct military intervention – MP
“Assad relies on the support of a large, if not the larger part of the population, and this is his important reserve. The al-Assad Army has displayed on numerous occasions that it is quite resistive. The US will hardly manage to drastically change the correlation of forces just by boosting its arms shipments for the opposition” Pushkov says.
Hence the question, he says, just what will the US do next? “I believe”, Pushkov says, the US will follow the path of escalation in hostilities. Now it is arming the rebel fighters, then it will decide on some form of direct internal invasion. Nor can we rule out airstrikes with the use of cruise missiles, coupled with a direct military invasion, provided the previous measures prove fruitless”, the Chairman of the Duma International Affairs Committee said.
