The Drums of war: US attacks Syria

[Dreamtimer]

Corbett has the perfect delivery and voice for what he does. I love how he's putting his skills into action to teach grownups (who need it as bad or more than the children do).

Couldn't agree more re: your above statement of Corbett, Dreamtimer ........

So this topic has gotten very quiet over the last half month or so... I'm starting to believe the "7d backgammon" idea's behind the moves by the US in Syria..

Russia, Iran, Turkey sign on 'de-escalation zones' in Syria
The presidents of Russia and Turkey as well as President Donald Trump have recently supported the idea of creating safe zones in Syria. Meeting in the Russian resort town of Sochi on Wednesday, Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Vladimir Putin expressed hope the Syrian government and rebels would adopt this latest proposal to "de-escalate" the conflict.

Putin said Russian and Syrian government jets would halt flights over the specified zones if all sides respect the cease-fire.

The Kazakhstan agreement calls for delineating zones where front lines between the Syrian government forces and the rebels would be frozen and fighting halted.

This is headed (for now) in the right direction

What's interesting about this is that when Obama was president such 'compromises' were considered and the American military along with their staunch supporters had a major conniption fit. The thought of letting Russian, let alone Iran, have a dominant role in the conflict was like swallowing poison. Hmm, but then Obama never bombed Syria, maybe all the military needed was to trip its trigger to be mollified into agreeing to anything.

Obama did bomb Syria, there were countless "coalition air strikes" under his watch, they just were not as publicized as was the tomahawk missile strike.

yes, you are likely correct about that...targeted incisive strikes...Ain't pretty but it is the truth... It's a lot more fun blowing up the whole freakin' world.

It's a lot more fun blowing up the whole freakin' world.

or an empty airfield that went back into use the next day...

I'm still carrying around a pretty big question mark on the Syria move... its like he shot a gun into a pile of sand, and everyone cheered?

Maram is a friend of mine and you should see her in real life.
Very intelligent, she is working on her doctorate in chemistry.

As for the anglo saxon empires war on Syria, I am with the Russians, Iran and Syria.
If they lose, we're all cactus.
I look forward to all the vermin infesting Syria being crushed like the cockroaches they are.
Hopefully the united snakes will get a bloody nose too.
The next world war is already in progress, it just hasn't wound all the way up yet.
Syria is Spain

I've seen another video by Maram. I was impressed.

Listening to Joseph Farrell's most recent News and Views, he talks about the latest Bilderberg meeting. He says there's a big division over continuing to use islamic terrorism as a 'cat's paw' in the Middle East. I had to look up cat's paw: "a person who is used by another, typically to carry out an unpleasant or dangerous task."

He says, quoting an article he's reading by Thierry Meyssan called 'Confrontation at Bilderberg 2017', "MI6 and the CIA took a huge risk by inviting a non-Atlantisist to the meeting of Bilderberg 2017. The Chinese Ambassador...was scheduled to speak only on the fourth day of the seminar was thus able to evaluate the positions of each member of NATO as from the first day. [HE]...might possibly be satisfied with the simple destruction of Daesh... but is not unaware that the people who organized the Caliphate in order to cut the silk road in Iraq and Syria, and the war in the Ukraine to cut the new silk road, are preparing inevitably and preventatively to open a third front in the Philippines and a fourth in Venezuela in order to cut off other communication projects."

So there's an anti-Chinese/Russian/Indian silk road project. He points to Brexit and how Britain has joined the Asia infrastructure development bank.

The other motive is an ultimate clash inside the muslim world itself.
