Chemical attacks in Syria-American propaganda or reality

The US, Britain and France launched missile attacks on Syria. Western powers alleged that Syrian government used chemical weapons against rebels and targeted the civilian population. The U.S, Britain and France fired 105 missiles at different destinations and targets in Syria.

The Russia, China and Iran condemned the missile attacks as a clear violation of the UN charter and international laws.  For them, Syrian government led by Bashar ul Asad is the legitimate government of the Syria. But western powers consider him a criminal, monster and a human rights abuser and wanted to remove him by force.

The latest camera friendly crisis is yet another “chemical weapons attack” which the US, UK and usual suspects are blaming on the Syrian government. However this is such a worn and discredited theme, were it not for trigger-happy Trump and his band of war obsessed mongers, it would simply be dismissed out of hand. US is involved in a dirty game,  both supplying chemical weapons to the “moderate head choppers” and the discrediting of the endless attempts to pin chemical attack on the Syrian government without any independent investigation and information.

We have not yet forget the tall claims and media propaganda about the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Those weapons never recovered but still the Iraq was destroyed in this process. Millions were suffered as the result of that attack launched by U.S and Britain on the fabricated and false allegations. The same kind of propaganda, false claims, allegations and media misinformation that was in Iraq is being used to attack Syria.

The western powers using the unconfirmed reports from western funded NGOs and media to justify the attack. The tone, allegations and language of western leaders looks familiar. Trump and May are repeating the same allegations used by Bush and Blair in their famous Iraq dossiers. Both Bush and Blair proved liars in the subsequent inquiries in their countries. Now Trump and May doing the similar thing.

No independent sources, organisations and investigation yet confirmed the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government. Everyone who uses any kind of weapons, bombs and missiles against civilian population is a war criminal and be brought to justice. But U.S, Russia and other big powers have no right to invade or destroy any country to protect their interests.

President Assad has immediately invited the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to Syria to investigate, as did the Russians, the US are fighting their visit. Let the OPCW determine the facts and investigate the allegations. When the OPCW is present on ground to investigate the matter then why the western powers launched attack on Syria. This attack in a hurry raises many questions regarding the intentions of this attack. Why the U.S is opposing an independent investigation and inquiry by OPCW.

The reason is simple. America is not interested to find out the truth and facts because it already knows the truth. This attack is not all about saving the civilians but to establish its domination. This attack was carried out to show its strength and power.

The discredited White Helmets – a “rescue” group only operating in areas held by “rebels” who routinely decapitate, including children, set fire to people and commit numerous unspeakable acts – have produced a video of an apparent chemical attack on 7th April.

The “White Helmets” are funded in millions by the UK Foreign Office, the US, Canada and various other Western governments. Coupled with this is: A UK government £5.3 million media activists programme included training Syrian independent journalists and activists, including for reporting of “White Helmets” activities across Twitter and Facebook.
It is worth noting that those dealing with patients suffering the effects of a chemical weapons attack need specific protective clothing. Pictures have been shown of an allegedly affected toddler being sprayed with water, held and sprayed by people in jeans, t-shirts and without even plastic gloves.

Strangely at the site of an alleged chemical attack at Khan Sheikhun on 5th April 2017, just two days over a year before the latest allegations, pictures not only emerged of first responders with no protective clothing, gloves, but of the White Helmets in flip flops and casual clothing “gathering soil samples” from areas allegedly hit by the weapons.
This attack brings us too close to a direct military confrontation between world powers. We are going back to old days of cold war. The world is bitterly divided. This attack is another reminder that Syrian civil war and conflict in the Middle East has the potential to turn into bigger conflict and war. The world powers are fighting for their interests and domination.

The real victim of this conflict and civil war are the people of Syria. They are suffering from last 7 years. They lost lives, houses, loved ones, hospitals, schools and other basic needs and services. Hundreds of thousands have been killed and millions forced to leave the country to live in miserable conditions in refugee camps. They are facing missiles, bombings and bullets on daily basis. They are continued to suffer on daily basis. They are facing hunger, starvation, poverty and miserable conditions. The children are growing up in these insecure and horrifying conditions. Thousands of children have only seen war, destruction and inhuman conditions.

But who cares about the innocent children, elderly and women. Women and children suffer the most in any armed conflict or war. They become soft targets for conflicting sides.   Both the anti Asad western powers led by America and pro Asad powers led by Russia using proxies and providing them latest weapons to be used in this conflict.  Both America and Russia engaged in a civil war and using proxies to protect their interests in Middle East.
