US warns Russia, Syria against chemical weapons use
Associated Press ^ | August 28, 2018 | SUSANNAH GEORGE

Posted on 08/28/2018 9:51:42 PM PDT by familyop

The United States "will respond to any verified chemical weapons use in Idlib or elsewhere in Syria ... in a swift and appropriate manner," State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told reporters in Washington. Nauert said...Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov last week that Moscow — a military ally of Assad — would be held responsible.

Pretty sure they are. But I’m not going to jump on John. He was a total dick, for most of his life. I don’t get any pleasure from taunting him. He’s dead.

So they’re gonna pop a chembomb. Then blame it on Russia/Syria.

Then we gonna bomb things.

Then......Russia is just going to pass it off?

So many dangerous places all these people want to take us to.

Just need to get more specific on targets I’m going to protect.

So wear a giant cat in the hat, hat....and lots of fuzzy things hanging off your heads.

I’ll shoot for the people trying to take your fuzzy hat off.

A large supply of chemicals has been delivered to the militants in Syria’s Idlib with the assistance of the White Helmets aid group in order to stage a provocation and blame the Syrian government, Russia’s Defense Ministry said.

The Russian military has received information from several sources in Idlib Province that “a large supply of poisonous agents has been brought to the city of Saraqib on two trucks from the village of Afs,” Major-General Aleksey Tsygankov, head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the opposing sides in Syria, said in a statement.

The chemicals were delivered to an arms depot, used by the militant group Ahrar al-Sham, “accompanied by the eight members of the White Helmets organization,” Tsygankov said, adding that the cargo was met by two high-ranked Ahrar al-Sham commanders.

Russia has dispatched the largest number of naval vessels into Syrian waters since the beginning of its intervention there, amid speculation that the US might be preparing another ‘chemical attack’ false flag and a missile strike.

Two submarines and at least ten Russian surface warships are currently in the Mediterranean. Many are armed with long-range missiles, such as the frigates Admiral Grigorovich and Admiral Essen, which were photographed transiting the Bosporus from the Black Sea on Friday.

They might not stand down this time. I just don't want to see one American soldier die needlessly.

By the comments below that vid, it seems most people have figured out the CW BS being broadcast by the Western Warmongers is a lie.

Also, the President lied when he said we were getting out of Syria. We are building yet a 2nd base in the Eastern oilfields, and want to set up a no fly zone.

From April 2018...

Trump taunts Russia, says US military response coming in Syria

Maegan Vazquez and Jennifer Hansler, CNN
April 11, 2018

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump warned Russia on Wednesday that it should “get ready” for a missile strike on Syria, vowing to thwart any missile defenses.

Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria.

Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!”

You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!

2004...

From the Washington Times:

Russia tied to Iraq's missing arms
October 28, 2004

Russian special forces troops moved many of Saddam Hussein's weapons and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the March 2003 U.S. military operation, The Washington Times has learned.

"The Russians brought in, just before the war got started, a whole series of military units," Mr. Shaw said. "Their main job was to shred all evidence of any of the contractual arrangements they had with the Iraqis. The others were transportation units." ..."

'As stated in more detail in my full report, the British, Ukrainian and American secret services all believed that the Russians had organized a last minute evacuation of CW [chemical] and BW [biological] stockpiles from Baghdad to Syria.' ..."

________________________________________________

"Romanian intelligence defector Ion Mihai Pacepa alleged that an operation for the removal of chemical weapons was prepared by the Soviet Union for Libya, and that he was told over thirty years ago by Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu, KGB chairman Yury Andropov, and later, Yevgeny Primakov, about the existence of a similar plan for Iraq.

It is 'perfectly obvious', wrote Pacepa, that the Russian GRU agency helped Saddam Hussein to destroy, hide, or transfer his chemical weapons prior to the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. 'After all, Russia helped Saddam get his hands on them in the first place.'[13]

John Loftus, director of The Intelligence Summit, said in the November 16, 2007 issue of FrontPage Magazine that many documents from Iraq point to WMD being transferred to other countries such as Syria: 'As stated in more detail in my full report, the British, Ukrainian and American secret services all believed that the Russians had organized a last minute evacuation of CW [chemical] and BW [biological] stockpiles from Baghdad to Syria.'

His researchers allegedly found a document ordering the concealment of nuclear weapons equipment in storage facilities under the Euphrates River a few weeks before the invasion.[14]"

“They did actually warn of chems being used.
But that it wouldn’t be them.”

Exactly. But they didn’t say they or Syria intended to use them. They were warning the world to expect another fake gas attack.

Saying the rebel jihadis are going to stage an attack is not the same as saying Syria intends to use them when it attacks that jihadi insurgent outpost.

"This really disappoints me."

You mean our government's policy on Syria? There's always been a lot of maneuvering for advantage overseas involving people, real estate and natural resources. The nation that gets the most oil, wins. Extreme quantities of oil are important for military pursuits (as in moving a lot of stuff very quickly to finish a war).

The simplest way to understand the big picture of what's happening is to visualize the nations as kids in a schoolyard. In schoolyards, there are bullies. Remember how schoolyard bullies behaved? What stopped them from maneuvering to attack other kids and attacking them, taking their lunch money, etc.?

After World War 2, did we keep Italy and make it a state? Germany? Japan? Did we keep Iraq? Do we control Iraq's government? Have we conquered Canada in a Soviet Union kind of way? ...Mexico?

I’m guessing that you would find this as interesting as I did, and it will explain much about the topic we’ve been discussing. If you don’t want to take the time to read it all, at least start with “Driving Laws in Russia,” and read to the end of the page (especially “Traffic Police in Russia,” “Corruption and Driving in Russia,” and, well...all of it, really). Fascinating.
