    Saudi Arabia and Turkey at that time were allies, and they were both supporting Al Nusra and ISIS. As for Assad buying his own stolen oil from ISIS while fighting them with weaponry that he paid for is a bit ridiculous - unless it was done without his knowledge.

    The thousands of tankers carrying the oil from Raqqa to Turkey belonged to Bilal Erdogan. We didn't start bombing the tankers until Russia did.

    The fact remains that the truck with the chemicals was caught at the Turkish border and Gulen's newspaper Zaman got a whiff of it before Fidan the head of MIT could tell the guards to let it go through.

    It was then picked up by Erdogan's opposition and mentioned in Turkey's Parliament so there is no way Obama didn't know - Yet he was willing to bomb Damascus to support the terrorists since they were facing defeat.


    To stop the attack and the massive massacre that would have occurred in Damascus against the hundreds of thousands of Christian and Alawite refugees being protected by Assad, Russia had the chemical analyzed and proved that it did not exist in Syria's arsenal. London became fearful because the people were so adamantly against the bombing, that they stopped Obama.

    The two other times we bombed the Syrian forces over false flag chemical attacks, also occurred when the terrorists were facing defeat. Washington's intent was to prolong the war until their own plans could come into affect. This is why the peace talks between Lavrov and Kerry kept failing. Lavrov said that Kerry was a good man, but Obama was evil. And this is also why the US is not included in the Syrian peace talks.

    The same methods that were used to start the war in Syria, are now being used by Washington to destroy Venezuela.

    According to Press TV I was right about Syria not having used it's S-300 missile defenses. It could be that the Syrians are still being trained, or because of some agreement with Israel - which won't last long as long as Israel continues its belligerence.

    You don't deal in facts, and that's a fact.

    Yeah it's a bit of a catch 22, Iran should leave but if they do then likely ISIS will return...and Israel should respect the no-fly zone but Iran's weapons stash in Syria needs to be "managed"... Russia "man in the middle"

    As we've seen in Venezuela, the US certainly now does consider itself a law to itself. It has chosen who it wants to run the country, ignoring the democratic vote and has refused the order of the Venezuelan government for the US to withdraw its diplomats after the former broke off diplomatic relations (I've never come across that one before...). Venezuela would be within its legal rights to forcibly remove those diplomats, but that's what Bolton and Trump are hoping for - they would send in the Marines.

    Slightly off-topic but... :)

    Elijah Magnier in his below article warns that Netanyahu has pushed Iran and Syria to the point of despair and they are getting ready to militarily counter any further aggression.

    Netanyahu's desperation to get re-elected and also create international situations to force Trump to change his mind about pulling out US troops from Syria might backfire and could trigger a very nasty mess.

    The below strategy seems to be particularly relevant, because Russia had earlier placed their own personnel alongside most - if not all? - Syrian bases, and then warned the US and the West that any Russian casualty from an attack would result in Russia counter-firing advanced missiles against US and Western platforms involved in such an attack.

    Therefore any future Israeli attack against these command and control centres has the danger of causing Russian casualties and triggering a Russian response against the Israeli's.

    Perhaps you can offer a persuasive explanation for why a leader regaining control of his country, finally, would want to gas his own people? What would he gain?

    Get serious - your comment to Jeanette is serious Pot calling Kettle Black action. Many times have I seen you run to the playground to stick head deep in the sandbox of denial when confronted with information which conflicts from your ingested Establishment propaganda narrative.

    Well, if "you" do jump into a war "for" Israel - than its your business, I never expect the social left for any act of responsibility or courage....but have the balls to blame your own leaders at least.....

    And it seems to me that the Russian threats are always made after Israel attacks....

    Sure, we flash our red lines BY attacking another sovereign nation, and by doing that we prevent that backward nation from getting bright ideas on some major conflict, in fact I'm pretty sure the Arabs prefer we attack their terror groups rather than risk total war in the future, Syria and Lebanon lack of action proves it also the ignore we get from other Arab countries if not a smile, all in all when we strike its for everyone's own good.

    Israel also doesn't use its F-35's for these missions, but did use it to spy on Iran so we know its a matter of choice and perhaps an agreement indeed.

    Might this be an admission of Jewish Supremacy?

    Was Mr. Elijah under the impression that Iran and Syria posed no threat to Israel prior to Bibi's "push" ? getting hit and wave their fists in frustration is the BEST result they can hope for while arming and declaring we are their mortal enemies.
    You ignore the Israeli red lines, what they are willing to go to war for and it will bite you while you play around with threats.

    I know another Israeli who always calls Arabs 'backward'. Like yourself it appears to be used as a term to show Jewish or if you like Israeli Supremacy. That however is only due to your relationship with the US and the recent history of the ME - particularly European Colonisation including that of Israel. That as well as having sanctions/being militarily destroyed. There is nothing to suggest they are 'backward' which is what we used to call societies which had not developed as modern societies did, what people sometimes call simpler societies. Backward tends to infer less intelligence. This is not so of Muslim societies without whom we would not have much of the knowledge we use nowadays but it would appear we are too backward to understand if we do not deal with Climate catastrophe, there ain't going to be any world for your children and my grandchildren. I was watching a lecture the other day where the Lecturer told 18 year olds he could not guarantee they would have the opportunity of living to old age. Now knowing that and refusing to work on that, I'd be willing to abuse with the word 'backward' ;)

    The link is from 2015 when oil was discovered in the Golan Heights. From what I read the drilling rights were given to a Dick Cheney linked company. The recent genie oil discovery on the map is in the Golan Heights.
