In my opinion it took longer than expected. The US
and the UK played too long cat-and-mouse in this and other countries which were
no concern of theirs.
As far back as the destruction of the World Centre;
Bush and Blair invaded illegally Afghanistan and fought the Taliban. As before
they supported them and when Russia, fighting the Taliban, pulled out because
they could not see any winning the fight; America changed their sites and
attacked the Taliban. It took 10 years and hundred thousand of civilian lives
as well as soldiers.
Now, they are pulling out and it was already reported
that the Taliban retook some areas which were bitterly fought over and cleared.
At the same time the US and UK invaded illegally
Iraq. Big outcry went across the world that Saddam Hussein was a dictator and
has weapon-of-mass-destruction. War raged and people died and they brought down
Saddam Hussein and his ruling party.
As before, it was reported, that there were no ISIS
in Iraq but now it had a stronghold and the people are far worse off. The WMD had never been found and British top
scientists and weapon expert Dr Kelly lost his live, assumed murdered but
classed as suicide. Because he stated that there are no WMD.
The US then supported the rebels in Syria fighting
President Bashar Assad. Eventually it
turned out that they turned into a terrorist group Al Qaeda which partly turned
into IS.
In 2012 IS started to kidnap journalists and aid
workers which was kept from the public for a long time. Eventually, the news broke
when IS started to behead them one by one and showed videos of it. They were US
and UK people. Then it was discovered that they were held since 2012 and
2013. Although both governments were
aware of it the US still supplied ‘rebels’ with missiles and the UK chemicals which can be used to produce
chemical weapon.
The whole scenario came to a head when a chemical
weapon was dropped on Ghouta a suburb of Damascus, in Syria. Mr Assad was accused
of using chemical weapons which he denied. The US Secretary of State John Kerry
was urging, with all his might, to attack Syria. UK Prime Minister David
Cameron agreed and they were heading for a full out war, maybe even with chemical
weapon.
In the eleven hours, so to speak, Russia’s Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov intervened and made Mr Assad to hand over all his stock
of chemical weapons to be destroyed which was within a year.
An UN special team went to Syria and investigated. As of today, the report was never published.
It makes you wonder what is going on there. The UN supposed to be neutral and
no matter which side dropped the weapon it should have been published.
It has now been revealed that ISIS has chemical to
produce weapons and it is assumed about 20 tons of it. They are producing them
and it is not known where the chemical came from; or at least so it had been
said.
Prime Minister David Cameron started bombing the
ISIS in 2014 even so the MPs voted against it. His decision could have wide
reaching implication. Especially now that Russia started to get involved and
President Vladimir Putin decided to increase military back-up of President
Bashar Assad. Libya and Iran are also on his side.
It is hard to accept that America will not stop interfering
in other countries and the reason for it; if American stops or slows down their
armoury production their economy will go down too.
Since Sept 14, 2014 the US-led-coalition launched
air raids. At the same time they are supplying 5,000 ‘moderate rebels’ to fight
the IS on the ground of Syria. There is
no such thing as a ‘moderate rebel’. It is another smoke screen.
.
One news might be good in a strange way. el-Qaeda’s
leader Ayman al-Zawahiri decided to attack ISIS because their leader Abu Baker al-Baghdadi claimed to be the leader of
all Muslims. Everybody agrees that ISIS
got out of hand.
So far 4million Syrian fled which is one of the
largest exodus in modern times and 20,000 dead and it mainly increased since
2013 when the situation deteriorated.
A further 7,6million Syrians have been displaced
within Syrian.
A report published by the UN in May 2015 stated an
estimated loss in economy was $202billion. Looking at all these figures in
human and financial loss emphasizes the madness of war.
The supporting Kurd militia seek to defend three
autonomous enclosures in the north of Syria.
Already the last time, after the chemical weapon was
dropped, John Kerry kept putting fuel to the fire by shouting about 1,500
people died even so the experts from the doctors who were there at the time
said that it was around 500. UK PM David
Cameron also added by stating he was ready to send warships and air supplies.
The Russian put their foot on the fuse which was slowly burning towards another
World War. The people, who always suffer
most, kept holding their breath.
Now, instead of John Kerry having learnt his lesson
keeps pushing it again to an all out confronting. When the Russian appeared on
the scene to back-up Assad then John Kerry started to change his tune. He
stated that a diplomatic solution is always best. He now will fly to Moscow to
a meeting with the Russian government.
The US has about 50 million starving and homeless people
but John Kerry managed for Congress to agree to $500million to supply the ‘moderate
rebels’.
The UK has over one billion starving and homeless
people and three million unemployed but there is hundreds millions available
for war.
It is absolute lunacy and every one in the street agrees
with the new Labour leader Mr Corbyn when he wants to stop war. Look at
Switzerland. A neutral country and a fine example of prosperity; having only a
reserve army.
