I'm always at a loss as to just how skewed news media reporting in the West compared to RT or Chinese news is. A case can be made for hijacked US foreign policy by vested interest groups.
There is no peace in the ME and one must ask why after so many years with the US at the helm. In fact policies reflect one of intentional chaos than peace.
Just as Russia manages to defeat ISIS and looks like some resemblance of order can be achieved avoiding a power vacuum and militias and all sorts of freedom fighting terrorist groups are laid to rest, AND Trump announces US is pulling out of Syria as they are losing trillions and gaining not much in return, "supposedly" Syria uses chemical weapons against not soldiers but civilians who pose no threat????
Is this a serious possibility or consideration for such an attack?
On the other hand use of such an attack suits the interests of other countries such as France and UK and the EU looking to secure their energy requirements by controlling pipelines to supply gas and oil into the Mediterranean sea. They don't want US to leave the area.
In this vision, Russia or Syria are a hindrance. They do not wish to share any profits or proceeds from such an ambitious project with Syria or Russia. Hence, the desire to remove Assad and Russia from their 30 year plans to take control of the country, implement a puppet regime much like the Sauidies and take the cream of the profits in any gas and oil supply lines.
You can be certain these plans will not stop here. Iran is next on the list as they have vast quantities of oil and gas too - supplying China. Objective will be to destabilise Iran another so called terrorist supporting nation and in the process cause a big headache to China's energy requirements.
I'm astonished at the speed of support for action when nothing has been ascertained as to who carried out the chemical attack. Especially by France and UK. They are literally begging US to help them by suggesting they'll join US and help with the attack. First we were told over 70 people died and 600 injured and then announced it was more like 40 but no one can see the injured or who they are supposed to be. Professionals looking for samples from victims to take and question but numbers don't seem to materialise. Yet withing an hour or two we were told this was Syria and Russia gassing civilians? Really???? :-0:-0:-0
As for poor old Trump he is up against the establishment desperate to maintain their actions and plans for the ME. To give him the eye, his long standing solicitor is searched by the FBI looking for dirt on him as soon as he announces US is pulling out of Syria. Sometimes I really feel they are looking at every piece of dirt they can find on the guy to get him by the short and curlies but the twists and turns are really something out of a fiction book. I don't believe in so many coincidences and now wondering if the war machine is really looking to remove him.
In fact what with the Skripal case I wouldn't be surprised these are all joined up. Both UK and France say they have strong evidence yet we see nothing.
It really is a sh11te world when UK and France and some bodies in US are soooo eager to wage war and people in these threads are up for kicking ar5e when there is no evidence and most rational reason points to something quite different. IMHO Some people want death and destruction and US to remain in the area supporting their interests.
