GREAT DANGER OF WWIII - 27 Sept., 2017


Update 27 Sept., 2017 --
By now the danger of WWIII intensified so much that it could start any minute.

USA threatened North Korea with destroying there country completely because of their constant rocket tests. NK took it as an opening to a declaration of war against them of which Kim-Jung-in was only waiting for to justify his tests. President Trump walked right into the net.

China and Russia, who on the side of NK, warned of caution and wanted negotiation with NK but USA refused and went ahead with threatening a confrontation. We are not facing a war brewing but a possible nuclear war and therefore Russian's suggestion was wise and sensible.

PM May already announced that she is willing to join the USA!

Again the UN cancelled a PEACE TALK SUMMIT  in Geneva. A Peace Talk for Syria urgently needed because every day innocent people die or get displaced and the danger of WWIII grows daily.. 

Analysis’s regularly asses a situation where Russia seeks to exploit tensions in the Baltic and tests NATO strength. While the scenario created by strategists from inside the War Room focus on East Europe concern over a potential flashpoint in Syria between Russia and the West are never far away.

Air forces of the USA, Russia, Turkey and Syria have been flying attacks against rebels' forces of Syria and Russia and so-called Islamic State.

The UK flew a limited air strikes attacking IS.

It is now feared because of the great number of attacks that their could be  indented or unintended accidents and the Allies could find themselves in a much bigger war.
US and Russia have been holding talks to prevent this to happen and spark off a full confronting with each other.

Already last November tension was mounting because Turkey shot down a Russian passenger airline. Turkey claimed it entered their airspace which Russia denied.

In Eastern Europe, the UK decided to play a bigger role in 'highly readiness’ of NATO forces. In 2016 the UK will send 1,000 troops and in 2017 RAF Typhoos jets will join the “air policing” in the region. It will be the biggest re-enforcement defence since the end of the Cold War.

Mr Putin, President of Russia, stated months ago that in his opinion the IS is not the biggest danger to World peace but NATO.

It seems he got a point.

NATO gives the impression that it is a collective force for Europe but let us not close our eyes that it is commanded by the USA

It is strange that according to history of the two World Wars it always started in Eastern European and Russia was drawn in.  Russia never was the aggressor and history should now teach the warlords who instigated all this and sit back in their mansions profiting from the arms sale. Will it be again the same?

Russia was three times attacked and defeated mainly by their harsh winters. Whole armies perished.

Now could Russia's enemies hope to rise again with their modern weapons to conquer it? Russia is such an enormous big country and their severe winters even if the US and West defeat it it will be turn into endless civil wars like all the other countries US invaded.

USA should be looking right back to the 50s.  Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam the US never defeated them despite carpet bombing.

Hungary, a riot was caused against Russian occupation. When the Hungarian people were surrounded by Russian tanks and called for help for hours the Western instigators were nowhere to be seen because it would have ignited  another war. After that the country was in a worst state.

Iran, a riot was said to have been started by giving students money to go onto the street. The Shah and his family had to flee the country. Mosaddeq was expelled from Iran by the Shah and lived in Paris. He returned and turned a free country into a very strict Muslim country. Iran cut ties with the Western World, was isolated and sanctioned for decades. CIA documents admit they were involved in the coup.

Lebanon, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq were all invaded under the cover of introducing democracy, heavily bombed, and wrecked. They are divided now and civil wars are raging everywhere.

Ukraine, because the USA did not agree with Crimea annexing even after a vote from the people; the Ukrainian president was ousted and a new president put in his place.

Russia is suctioned which the West can ill effort. Ukrainian  country is divided and in East Ukraine the people fighting supported by Russia. Ukraine is the second biggest country in Europe and was peaceful.

This article has nothing to do with being anti or pro USA or Russia. There are just facts from history.

SOME LABOUR PARTY MPs VOTE AIRSTRIKES 2016



After the turmoil of voting for air strikes in Syria the upheaval has still not settled down.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was, to some extent, cornered and had to give the MPs a free vote instead of a “coalition”

Mr Corbyn was totally against any air strike in Syria or elsewhere and it would have been better if the UK stayed out of it.

While PM David Cameron was itching for months to get involved but the MPs voted in 2013 against any military intervention. Now the IS has threatened to attack the UK after Mr Cameron won the vote this time. Everyone was aware of the risk but Mr Cameron ignored it and the result is that the whole country is on tender hooks and full alert.

There were 66 Labour MPs voting for air strikes in Syria. Mr Cameron did not give his MPs a free vote and therefore there could have been a number of Tory MPs who would have voted  against.   Mr Cameron knew that if he would have his ways after he manoeuvred Mr Corbyn into letting his MPs having a free vote. Sly Mr Cameron had the RAF already flying air strike, under the cover of the USA, in September 2014, even though the NO vote from the MPs still stood.

Now coming back to the Labour MPs.  It seems that the criticism kept increasing even so Mr Corbyn was elected by a majority. Mr Corbyn made it clear, from the start that he is against any war and the Trident program which cost £167billion to update with nuclear weapons.  It is obvious to anyone that these weapons can never be used but Mr Cameron covers it up with “security to the country”.  

This argument split not only the Labour Party but also some Tory MPs are against Mr Cameron who wants to be in the EU.

Mr Corbyn also wants to end austerity, stop the £12billion Welfare cut, Tax credit cut and also cancel the H2S train another £100billion project finally, make no mistake. In view of those cuts the £12billion Welfare cut is not necessary.

Again Mr Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne trying to justify their plans with bringing down the debts and the deficit again.  Have we not heard that in the last five years? The result was austerity brought people down to rely on food banks and they did not bring down the debts but increased it by  £500billion. It was the most brazen, bare-face lies of politics and now they repeating it.

The critics and atmosphere in the Labour Party became so strong that Mr Corbyn saw no alternative but to reshuffle, not as much as should have been done in my view, his cabinet.

It makes one wonder if those MPs who all of sudden criticise Mr Corbyn very strongly, are not Blairites and therefore Thatcherites? After all ex-PM Tony Blair eventually dropped his cover and turned out to be a Thatcherite.

There is no doubt that Mr Cameron has an opponent which he can not deal with. Mr Corbyn has all the characteristics which Mr Cameron and his Party are lacking. They are respectful, care for their voters and listen to them, honesty, truthfulness and open straight forward dealings.

Therefore it would be no surprise if Mr Cameron and his disciples would try, quietly, to dislodge Mr Corbyn. Is that the real reason behind it?

Mr Cameron, again, points the finger at the Labour being split. It is not a split but just a few MPs who discovered they do not agree with Mr Corbyn’s principles. However, there is the same situation in the Tory party regarding the EU IN/Out referendum. Five of his top MPs threatened to resign if they are not allowed to campaign against EU membership.

At first Mr Cameron stated that he would not allow them. Only after a few days he now told them that they can campaign provided they do no move the voters away from the EU membership to be continued. It is a total contradicting rubbish. Let us see if those Top Tory MPs stand by their words because Mr Cameron's last comment on the subject is nothing but a wishy-washy.

CEASE FIRE FOR SYRIA


REMEMBER there was a glimpse of hope to stop fighting in Syria. We dont hear anything any more about it

UPDATE 17 January, 2016: So far there seems no sign of it. The British Government  announced that they flew bombing raids last Sunday.

Why is it not upheld?

It supposed to start early January? Why is Mr Cameron ignoring it and bring more danger to this country? It is the man in the street who will pay the price. Mr Cameron does not seems to care.

UN Security Council voted unanimously for a cease fire in Syria. It is the best news there could have been.

US Secretary of State John Kerry said: “An UN plan for Syria is a “milestone” in the effect to end the conflict there.” 

Although agreeing with the statement but it is a contradiction to Mr Kerry previous statements and especial to his previous action.

John Kerry added: “Mr Assad had lost the ability to unite the country and demands Mr Assad immediate departure which would prolong the war.”

The West and Arab nations concluded the resolution that Mr Assad could be part of the transition but insist he must be gone at the end of it

Let us hold here and get a few facts in. The US started to supply arms and support Al-Qaeda, four year ago. Slowly one by one other western country joined in.  From Al-Qaeda sprang ISIS which grew and now so powerful that the West and Russia see no alternative but to destroy them. All the time the West were supplying them with weapons through the back door and fighting in the front. 

Double dealing never worked out in the long run and it has not in this case.

It was planned that 34 countries, including the UK, establish an army and is under the command of Saudi Arabia to defeat ISIS.  Whether Russia and China is part of it is not clear. It is also not clear whether that plan provoked the UN to call for a Security Council meeting because if the West and Arab countries join the army they would be up against Russia and Chine.  Russia and China support Mr Assad.

This situation could develop into another World War very quickly because there are too many countries involved again Russia and China.

Coming back to the UN Security Council resolution it was also decided Syria would have, that they called, a “democratic” election.  US have hardly a democratic action when they keep attacking other country with no other reason but dominate them but they keep waving the flag about democracy.

As Syrian UN ambassador Bashar Jaafan already pointed out: “There is a glaring contradiction between outside countries talking about letting Syria decide their future yet also insisting on replacing Mr Assad.”

UN Security Council Resolution No 2254

n   Calls for ceasefire and formal talks or a political transition to start in early January.

n    Groups seen as “terrorists” included IS and al-Nusra Front, are excluded.

n    “Offensive and defensive actions” against such groups – a reference to air strikes by US –led coalition and Russia – to continue.

n   UN chief Ban Ki-Moon to report by 18 January, 2016, on how to monitored ceasefire.
n   “Credible, inclusive and non-sectarian government” to be established within six months.
n   Political transition should be Syria-led.

Russia Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said: “It would be possible to reach an agreement on a unity government for Syria within six month.

The resolution will not effect the bombing by Russia, France and US against IS,

So far 250,000 people had been killed in the civil war and millions displaced.

However, there is a disagreement already which armed group should be labelled as terrorists and therefore to be bombed.

As wonderful the news of a cease file sounds on the surface but if you read in between the lines there is still the insistence to remove Mr Assad which was the reason of starting the civil war supported by the West.

Therefore the resolution does not look as solid as it is made out to be but it is a great step forward and hopefully it holds and continues to bring everlasting peace.

Apart from destroying the IS; the US and West should keep out of Syria’s affairs.
US, UK and the West should learn from the recent wars which did not solve anything but caused more troubles.

In Afghanistan the so hard fought Helmsman district was freed from Talibans is now run over again and in Talibans’ hands. How must those solders feel like about the sacrifices of their killed and maimed comrades, some for life?

In Iraq there was no IS until the war was fought there and now it is a training ground for them. From there they lS spread into Syria.

Therefore America should stop to be so self righteous and play the policeman of the world.  So far they ruined Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Libya and Syria under the great cover “democracy” but in reality keeping their weapon industry going.

BORN DURING SECOND WORLD WAR


Those Leaders who start a war do not know or care what harm they inflict because they are far away in a safe area.

As a very small child you do not understand the danger and just take it in your stride.

You go to bed early to get some sleep because when it gets dark the sirens started. 

Being in a colder climate we used to get dressed, instead of undressed, to go to bed. Then you get woken up. take your dolly or what great possession and go with all the family down into the cellar.

In the winter you have a struggle to get into your coat over all pullovers and cardigans to keep warm.

The grown-ups were talking about the planes approaching. After a few months they could make out if the planes are still loaded with bombs or are already empty. The engines have a deeper sound because of the weight. Sometimes they unloaded the bombs already somewhere else and where on their back home. It meant we could go back to bed earlier.
====================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS. THANK YOU
====================================================
That happened every night for a few years. It does not matter who fights whom and destroys which city. It is the people who sit there and cower and hope that it will not hit them. People who had no part in politics as such.

If the planes are still loaded with bombs you can hear their approach and dropping of bombs coming nearer and nearer.  Of course, the very young children just sat there in the cellar and waited to go back to bed. The older children knowing the danger but could not cope with it started to whimpers pegging their mother to help.

All this was forgotten when the war stopped by the very young children. 

One day, I was watching news and there was a report about Beirut being bombed. Before I realised, the sirens went off which went right through me and brought it all back. Before I could switch it off the distance drone of engines came and the thuds of the bombs being dropped also brought it all back.

These leaders who decide to start a war do not know what damage they cause for the rest of the people in their life, leave alone death and destruction.  They are far away from all danger and carry on with their good life.

As I mentioned above, when you are a very small child and do not understand you just take it in your stride. Later on, by some incident the memory comes back.

A friend of mine who was born after the war but still talks about her father coming back from the war very ill and so effected that he would not talk about it, like most of the men.  Her father died in his fifties which was too young and because of the effect from the war. Her mother died soon after.

She will carry the regret, of losing her parents far too early, till her dying days.

Then there are the young soldiers who went out into the war at the age of 20 and came back maimed or lost their lives .

During the last World War millions of young blood was shed and every year there is a Remembrance Day but none of the leaders who attend it will learn from it and stop wars altogether.

It could have been avoided. The Russians suggested sanction  and confiscating the ISIS bank accounts which would have been more effective. Also to stop some nations double dealing of bombing and supplying weapons and money at the same time.

Now again the West bombing Syria and my heart goes out to the civilians. I know what it feels like. It will not make any difference like in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Do not hold the people responsible because they had enough after two World Wars. The people would have never voted for it.

When will mankind ever learn? War does not bring anything but hurt and destruction. The weapon industry will flourish but the weapons they produce bring death and destruction.  The countries which do not get involved in wars do flourish.

A fine example is Switzerland. Why can politicians not follow their example?

UN SECURITY COUNCIL MEETING ON SYRIA BUT NO Mr.CAMERON


UN ASSEMBLY 
Prime Minister David Cameron flew on Sunday to New York but not to attend the UN general assembly. He will only briefly be there and sent his Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond instead. Instead David Cameron attends the successors of the Millennium Development Goals in New York. Apparently it seems more important to him than trying to solve the crisis of Syria and refugees.

It was one of the most important meetings especially with  crises of Syria and refugees but Prime Minister David Cameron could not make the effort. Now, when the Russians moved in to back-up Assad's regime Mr Cameron is shooting his mouth off and criticises the Russian. Why was he not there when Putin was at the UN?

It is also the 70 anniversary of the UN but the main point of on the agenda is Syria. All the world top leaders including President Obama, Putin, Xi Jinpin and Rouhani will be there to find a way to establish peace, yet it seems that is not important to PM David Cameron to take this great opportunity to find a way to stop the civil war in Syria and the refugee crisis.

David Cameron announced in a interview with the BBC that he is now willing to agree for President Bashar el-Assad to stay for a short period but is still determined to topple the Assad's regime soon. This statement is past the limit of arrogance and power madness.  He keeps calling Mr Assad a dictator who murdered his people and therefore he has to go.

Have we not heard this before in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya?

It is very hard or even impossible for us to know the truth amongst all the propaganda.

Labour foreign secretary Hilary Benn and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn called for the UN to establish safe havens protected by military force in Syria. It would certainly help the Syrian people who were displaced.

Mr Benn said: “I am telling the prime minister today that that’s just not good enough. Given the scale of the crisis in Syria the prime minister should be staying on and straining every sinew to secure a comprehensive UN Security Council resolution under the chapter VII of the UN charter.” (It allows for military force to “maintain or restore international peace and security.”)

Mr Benn will state at the Labour Party Conference that Britain should pursue an all including political plan for Syria, including Iran and Russia. Mr Benn will say: “There’s been a lot of talk about airstrikes but to bring peace, stability and security to Syria will need a much broader, more comprehensive plan than just trying to deal with (ISIS). This will require political, diplomatic and humanitarian will too

RUSSIA VETOES RESOLUTION AT UN


PRESIDENT PUTIN
In my opinion Russia has a good reason because the USA wants to open up  the northern part of Syria (Assad's government) to fly into it (bombing).

Russia vetoed four times to block resolution of Syria to stop the bloodshed. Moscow’s view the resolution is against the regime of Bashir al-Assad.  It also forestalled common act on the Ukraine where it is accused to fight a military camp to supporting the eastern separatists.

This is one site of the coin; the other side is since the USA and West did not agree with the result of the people’s vote to join Russia; the government of the Ukraine was brought down by a ‘sudden revolt’ and a new government put into place of course by ‘democratic’ voting.  This was the moment when the fight started.

Matthew Rycroft, British ambassador, said: “Syria is a stain on the conscience of the Security Council. I think it is the biggest failure in recent years, and it has undoubtedly consequences for the standing of the Security Council and indeed the United Nation as a whole.”

The US has used its veto three times in the past decades, to shield Israel from rebuke for its actions in the Palestinian territories.

In my opinion those vetoes should have been overruled. Israel seems to have an overall power to do what it likes.  The atrocity it is handing out continuously to Palestine and its people is incredible. Ever since Israel was established there they continuously confiscating land and by now there is very little left of Palestine and that is occupied.

Three Israelis were killed and Israel bombed Gaza for 50 days, killing 2,500 people and destroyed 19,000 houses. Children still living in bombed houses. Israelis solders went into the West Bank and found the grave of the three Israelis and went to a house where the alleged two murderers were hiding out. They shot them and then confiscated 900 sq km of the West Bank destroyed the villages and put a fence around it.

The USA, UN and West never said a word against it. We soon would have heard an uproar if it was in the USA.

Today, according to the report, a Muslim woman was wielding a knife at a border soldiers in Hebron. The pictures show that she stood there and a few feet away a soldier aimed his machine gun and shot her. A soldier and a civilian tried to intervene but were warned off by him.  She should have been arrested and tried  but not shot at point blank.

Other reports show pictures that Israeli solders in occupied West Bank raiding houses at midnight and arrest children as young as six for interrogation. What happened to them afterwards is not known.

The West Bank was given to the Palestinian people at a peace agreement, signed by Israel.  The Gaza strip is blocked for decades and In other words Israel starves them.

In Syria a chemical bomb was dropped in the suburb of Damascus and Assad was accused. John Kerry, US Secretary of State, was pushing for military intervention and UK PM David Cameron agreed despite MPs voted against it and the world held its breath. In the last minute Russia intervened and Assad agreed to had over his stockpile of chemical weapons which were destroyed. The UN sent a special team of inspectors but the result of the report was never published. If the UN is neutral, which it should be, the report should have been published no matter who dropped the chemical weapon.

The UN Security Council legitimacy has been scrutinised many time and it looks like the USA has the power over it. USA always complains when they do not get their way.  As with Syria the US wants the airspace of Syria all open up. At the moment the airspace of the northern territory are closed. The reason, the US wants to bomb Assad’s government with the excuse to bomb ISIS. The US and West are determined to bring Mr Assad down like they done in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya resulting into total chaos and killing. Therefore, Russia vetoes the resolution.

The Russian UN representative, Vitaly Churkin said: “Some countries will try to involve the Security Council in regime change operation in Syria. And we were telling them that it is not their business of the Security Council to go into regime change mode. This is a fundamental difference and it’s not the fault of the Security Council that this difference is there.”

France is proposing that the five permanent council members (US, Russia, France, UK and China) voluntarily suspend their veto rights in situation when genocides are being committed.

While all these rankles going on, people dying daily and are forced to flee their home and country. In Syia 220,000 people have died and 11 million have been displaced.

Whatever these big powers trying to achieve for themselves they do not consider whatsoever the human costs. What have they achieved in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria? Nothing but total unrest and got rid of their weapon stock to produce new ones to sustain their economy.

RUSSIA INCREASES MILITARY BACK-UP IN SYRIA


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.

MR ASSAD'S INTERVIEW WITH BBC


BASHAR ASSAD
On a whole Mr Assad showed more principle than he had been given credit. Of course, we are mostly given the spin of the USA and the West. It does not mean other spins are the truth.  The worst thing in any conflicts is propaganda and it causes the most harm.

Listen to the programme, it made the situation more clear. The reason for the USA and the West wanting for Mr Assad to step down was because he refuses to join the international coalition that seeks and destroy IS.

He said: “No, definitely we cannot and we do not have the will and we do not want, for one simple reason because we cannot be in an alliance with countries which support terrorists.”

He added further that he was not against co-operating over IS with other countries but he will refuse to talk with American officials because they do not talk to anyone, unless he’s a puppet. In my view his remark contains a lot of truth. The USA and its allies supported the "freedom fighters" or "Rebels" which were infiltrated by al-Qaeda and an offspring the IS which started kidnapping western since the end of 2012. They top leaders all knew about it.

When asked why he refuses to talk to the Allies?  Mr Assad replied: “And they easily trample over intern law which is about our sovereignty now, so they do not talk to us, we do not talk to them,”  Another true point which shows in the new so called Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) which includes a clause of irreversible nationalisation of railways and energy suppliers etc. It also includes a clause of corporation being able to sue governments behind closed doors if something is against their will of the corporations. Several countries had been heavily find already, Canada, Sweden, Germany for stopping nuclear fuels, Bolivia was find $50million for renationalising their waters. If that is not dictatorship and taking away the sovereignty, what is? It is the worse thing suggested by the USA to sign the TTIP. The very word partnership is a joke and hypocrisy. All the time they pointing at Russia, China and North Korea. Where is the difference to the TTIP?

No wonder they want him out because he stands up to them and tells the truth about the USA and its allies. PM David Cameron must be out of his mind to even think to sign such an agreement. Of course, he would not put it to a vote to the MPs because he knows it would be defeated like the military intervention in Syria.

Another point Mr Assad referred to and it also made sense, was Mr Assad refuses to accept the US’s offer to train and equip a “moderate” rebel force to fight the IS on the ground in Syria.  Even to average people it sounds the joke of the century. Have they not learned their lesson yet?

==============================================
 PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU.
==============================================

Mr Assad pointed out there is no moderate, only extremists from IS and al-Quad in Syria, at-Nusra Front.  Do the USA and West really believe anyone would buy that? Have they not caused enough damage by supplying the so-called Freedom fighter when in reality they were al-Qaeda and eventually IS. The Allies were aware that people being kidnapped right back in 2012. Despite of all the US supplied the “Freedom Fighters” with missiles and the British Government (David Cameron can not blame Labour this time) supplied chemicals which could be made into chemical weapon.

The Syrian army was then blamed to have dropped the chemical weapon but when UN international inspectors examined it: the report was never handed over to the public. There is only one conclusion that if they found it was Mr Assad’s army it would have been broadcasted all over the world.

Mr Assad admitted that he had a stockpile of chemical weapon but denied that his army used it. Only recently there were rumours flying about that the CIA were involved. How true or false we will never know.
A new accusation is that Mr Assad uses barrel bombs which he denies.  Mr Assad reply to the accusation is: “I know about the army. They use bullets, missiles and bombs. I haven’t heard of the army using barrel bombs.” Is it a new attempt to make Mr Assad step down?

Barrel bombs are cylindrical and filled with explosives and shrabnels.

Whatever opinion we have about the Russians but one thing we have to acknowledge that they prevented a war or an all out war in 2013. USA John Kerry was beating the drums and UK PM David Cameron was all for it to use military force.  The Russians negotiated in the last minute and got Mr Assad to hand over his chemical weapons. It put the fuse out which might have burned right across the world again.  For that we should be grateful to the Russians.

The UK Ministers voted against any military intervention in Syria while trigger happy Dave Cameron would have happily sent the country into conflict while he would have  been sitting at his seat in the country.
