ShyCypher:
Do you have a better alternative? What of Turkey & China who have recently adopted similar/worse laws vesting unlimited power on the Presidency?

By the way, did Putin do so unconstitutionally? If so, prove it.

Finally, how are Russians "impoverished"? Did you verify that fact or did CNN spoon-feed that to you?

Good response. #Awesome

BrightNonso2:
U HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED BY WESTERN PROPAGANDA

The dude is something else. He goes about spewing rubbish with nothing to back it up.

Lucasbalo:
Third world dummy hyping a despotic leader . Why don't you pack and go live in Russia and see how long you will last. Not surprised because your kind are used to the 3rd world leaders treating you like garbage. World cup is coming in June and I doubt if a cretin like you can get Russia visa .

look at this tu*d. how is he despotic kindly explain. I have peeps who are actually studying and living in there and there's no harassment either by the police or the average citizen there, compare that to the brutality and death experienced by your brothers at the hand of the police in the US and don't forget to include the incarceration rate among your brothers there. I know you've been feeding fat on western propaganda and programming for some time only that i did'nt know that it's this bad.
In this day and age theirs no excuse to be a drone lapping up all forms of propaganda and displaying it's symptoms online. western Anglo Zionist slaves always think their thoughts are their own #pathetic lot though. break away from your programming and stop your consumption of fluoride maybe you'll be able to redeem some little bits and pieces of your old life before you plugged in to the programming

Lucasbalo:
Gbam. Pootin erand boys on Nairaland love that despotic demon who kills his opponents with a dose of cyanide or other chemical agents. Some of our people are so used to despotic leaders who whacked them on their heads hence their idolization of Pootin.

hey brainwashed midget back up your claim with proofs if not shut the bleep up. western propaganda fed f**ls think they really know things except that when they open their mouth one can surely predict the number of hours the id*ota had spent steering into the conditioned programming shown on his screen.

Lee Camp is an American stand-up comedian, writer, actor, and activist. Dubbed by Salon as the “John Oliver of Russia Today”, Camp is the host of RT America’s first comedy news show Redacted Tonight, which tackles the news agenda with a healthy dose of humor and satire. Lee’s writing credits are vast, having written for The Onion, Comedy Central and Huffington Post, as well as the acclaimed essay collections Moment of Clarity and Neither Sophisticated Nor Intelligent. Lee’s stand-up comedy has also been featured on Comedy Central, ABC’s Good Morning America, Showtime’s The Green Room with Paul Provenza, Al-Jazeera, BBC’s Newsnight, E!, MTV, and Spike TV.

This article was originally published by Truthdig.

The statements, views and opinions expressed in this column are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of RT.

Right now you may be thinking, “But, Lee, your theory is ridiculous. If these invasions were about the banking, then the rebels in Libya—getting help from NATO and the United States—would have set up a new banking system after bringing down Gadhafi.”

Actually, they didn’t wait that long. In the middle of the brutal war, the Libyan rebels formed their own central bank.

Brown said, “Several writers have noted the odd fact that the Libyan rebels took time out from their rebellion in March to create their own central bank—this before they even had a government.”

Wow, that sure does sound like it’s all about the banking.

Many of you know about Gen. Wesley Clark’s famous quote about seven countries in five years. Clark is a four-star general, the former head of NATO Supreme Allied Command, and he ran for president in 2008 (clearly he’s an underachiever). But it’s quite possible that 100 years from now, the one thing he’ll be remembered for is the fact that he told us that the Pentagon said to him in 2002: “We’re going to take down seven countries in five years. We’re going to start with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, then Libya, Somalia, Sudan. We’re going to come back and get Iran in five years.”

Most of this has happened. We have, of course, added some countries to the list, such as Yemen. We’re helping to destroy Yemen largely to make Saudi Arabia happy. Apparently our government/media care only about Syrian children (in order to justify regime change). We couldn’t care less about Yemeni children, Iraqi children, Afghan children, Palestinian children, North Korean children, Somali children, Flint (Michigan) children, Baltimore children, Native American children, Puerto Rican children, Na’vi children … oh wait, I think that’s from “Avatar.” Was that fiction? My memories and 3-D movies are starting to blur together.

Brown goes even further in her analysis of Clark’s bombshell:

What do these seven countries have in common? … [N]one of them is listed among the 56 member banks of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). That evidently puts them outside the long regulatory arm of the central bankers’ central bank in Switzerland. The most renegade of the lot could be Libya and Iraq, the two that have actually been attacked.

What I’m trying to say is: It’s all about the banking.

So right now you’re thinking, “But, Lee, then why is the US so eager to turn Syria into a failed state if Syria never dropped the dollar? Your whole stupid theory falls apart right there.”

First, I don’t appreciate your tone. Second, in February 2006, Syria dropped the dollar as its primary hard currency.

I think I’m noticing a trend. In fact, on Jan. 4, it was reported that Pakistan was ditching the dollar in its trade with China, and that same day, the US placed it on the watch list for religious freedom violations. The same day? Are we really supposed to believe that it just so happened that Pakistan stopped using the dollar with China on the same day it started punching Christians in the nose for no good reason? No, clearly Pakistan had violated our religion of cold hard cash.

This leaves only one question: Who will be next on the list of US illegal invasions cloaked in bullshit justifications? Well, last week, Iran finally did it: It switched from the dollar to the euro. And sure enough, this week, the US military-industrial complex, the corporate media and Israel all got together to claim that Iran is lying about its nuclear weapons development. What are the odds that this news would break within days of Iran dropping the dollar? What. Are. The. Odds?

The one nice thing about our corporate state’s manufacturing of consent is how predictable it is. We will now see the mainstream media running an increasing number of reports pushing the idea that Iran is a sponsor of terrorism and is trying to develop nuclear weapons (which are WMDs, but for some strange reason, our media are shying away from saying, “They have WMDs”). Here’s a 2017 PBS article claiming that Iran is the top state sponsor of terrorism. One must assume this list of terror sponsors does not include the country that made the arms that significantly enhanced Islamic State’s military capabilities. (It’s the US)

Or the country that drops hundreds of bombs per day on the Middle East. (It’s the US) But those bombs don’t cause any terror. Those are the happy bombs, clearly. Apparently, we just drop 1995 Richard Simmons down on unsuspecting people.

Point is, as we watch our pathetic corporate media continue their manufacturing of consent for war with Iran, don’t fall for it. These wars are all about the banking. And millions of innocent people are killed in them. Millions more have their lives destroyed.

You and I are just pawns in this game, and the last thing the ruling elite want are pawns who question the official narrative.

By the end of this column, it will be clear which country the United States will invade and topple next. Or failing that, it will be clear which country our military-intelligence-industrial complex will be aching to invade next.
We all want to know why America does what it does. And I don’t mean why Americans do what we do. I think that question still will be pondered eons from now by a future professor showing his students a video mind-meld of present-day UFC fighters booting each other in the head while thrilled onlookers cheer (not for either of the fighters but rather for more booting in the head).

But we all seem to assume that America—the entity, the corporation—has some sort of larger reasoning behind the actions it takes, the actions put forward by the ruling elite. And almost all of us know that the reasons we’re given by the press secretaries and caricature-shaped heads on the nightly news are the ripest, most fetid grade of bullshit.

We now know that the invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction. We now know that the crushing of Libya had nothing to do with “stopping a bad man.” If one does even a cursory check of what dictators around the world are up to recently, you’ll find that the US doesn’t care in the slightest whether they are bad or good, whether they’re using their free time to kill thousands of innocent people or to harmonize their rock garden. In fact, the US gives military aid to 70 percent of the world’s dictators. (One would hope that’s only around the holidays though.)

So if it’s not for the stated reasons, why does the US. overrun, topple and sometimes occupy the countries it does? Obviously, there are oil resources or rare minerals to be had. But there’s something else that links almost all of our recent wars.

As The Guardian reported near the beginning of the Iraq War, “In October 2000, Iraq insisted on dumping the US dollar—the currency of the enemy—for the more multilateral euro.”

However, one example does not make a trend. If it did, I would be a world-renowned beer pong champion rather than touting a 1-27 record. (I certainly can’t go pro with those numbers.)

But there’s more. Soon after Libya began moving toward an African gold-based currency—and lining up all its African neighbors to join it—we invaded it as well, with the help of NATO. Author Ellen Brown pointed this out at the time of the invasion:

[Moammar Gadhafi] initiated a movement to refuse the dollar and the euro, and called on Arab and African nations to use a new currency instead, the gold dinar.

John Perkins, author of “Confessions of an Economic Hitman,” also has said that the true reason for the attack on Libya was Gadhafi’s move away from the dollar and the euro.

This week, The Intercept reported that the ousting of Gadhafi, which was in many ways led by President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, actually had to do with Sarkozy secretly receiving millions from Gadhafi, and it seemed that his corruption was about to be revealed. But, the article also noted, “[Sarkozy’s] real military zeal and desire for regime change came only after [Hillary] Clinton and the Arab League broadcasted their desire to see [Gadhafi] go.” And the fact that Gadhafi was planning to upend the petrodollar in Africa certainly provides the motivation necessary. (It doesn’t take much to get the US excited about a new bombing campaign. I’m pretty sure we invaded Madagascar once in the 1970s because they smoked our good weed.)

Quelme:
too much MSM junks not good for you.....

Yeah ! I certainly agree he's had too much junk and also a little bit too much of western propaganda

Guidette:
Satanyahoo strikes again!
WW3 loading....... but he doesn't know this will be the demise of the West. All empires come to die in Persia. This is just the beginning...

Did everyone see the pathetic shameful powerpoint display he did on Iran supposedly building up nuclear bombs on Project Amad?
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_desktop/public/inline-images/bibi%20iran.jpg?itok=cAjN6ecQ

It reminded me of the run up to the War in Iraq, when the shameless, lying Colin Powell came to the UN holding a vial of yellow cake Saddam supposedly had to make bombs.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/06/Powell_anthrax_jbc.jpg

It is like history keeps repeating itself for some reason....

What are the facts on ground:
1. Israel has been salivating to attack Iran ever since its inception in 1947. USA, the military arm of Israel, also is on board along with the Arab Gulf states spearheaded by Saudi Arabia. All the Zionists and Neocons are foaming at the mouth right now at the thought of war.
2. Any war that breaks out in the Middle East is a win for the oil producing nations, especially Saudi Arabia, because the country is in huge trouble financially. As long as the price of oil remains below $80 per barrel, their budget cannot break even. Even the Crown Prince MBS said it himself that Saudi needs oil prices to be high for their economy to be feasible. (http://time.com/5229227/saudi-arabia-mohammed-bin-salman-interview-oil/)
3. The Military Industrial Complex gains "bigly" if a war breaks out. Remember the limited strike Trump carried out on the 13th of April saw their stocks rise making them billions overnight.
4. Who suffers are the civilians caught in war, soldiers that have to lay their life for stupid reasons and regular folk like you and me who will have to pay higher prices for petroleum products.
5. This will definitely lead to that final global economic crash we have all been waiting for, as this might be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Higher oil prices means increased consumer spending on fuel rather than on consumer goods, as well as increased running costs for corporations which leads to a hike in their prices. But as a lot of corporations are already in huge debt and facing rising interest rates from the Fed and with reduced consumer spending, it will reduce earnings/profits which will lead to stock market crash.

And that's how the dominoes fall.....

Im feeling your points. You sure do know how to think critically

..

All those Anglo Zionist fanboys ran outta this thread at the sight of the evidence that they had always been screaming for. #pathetic lot

And. ..

LordReed:
Unlike you I can check whatever CNN or the others put out against the overall tone of the reporting on a matter but you, God save your Russian brain washed mind since you accept A STATE MEDIA'S word hook, line and sinker.

You're the one whose deep into the misconception that that Russian media is heavily controlled and if I may ask where did you get that notion
And also we know who have turned nations into drones drumming western propaganda around the world in order to achieve the specific goals and some come to light .
*we haven't forgotten the WMD in Iraq
*The use of chemical weapons use in Syria blaming it on the government in power
* The accusations of Ghadaffis Human Rights abuses and etc forgetting that it's number one ally in the Middle East is the #1 culprit in areas of human rights abuses and what of its crimes against in Yemen as its starves both women and children to death.
How many of these does your CNN and the likes tell you rather than brain wash and conditioning you into the state of mind their puppet master want you (brain dead) .
So, dear drone when CNN says Russian state media like you yourself have lapped up just know another round Of brain washing is starting you might like to take it hook line and sinker but I'll advise to stop and tune off

LordReed:
LoL, I'd rather believe a babalawo than Russian state media.

Well... What do you know when you're hooked on CNN and the likes.

Ikio:
And Where In The World Do U Investigate A Case When U Ar D Victim?? Wat Russia Wil Do Its Provide Proof, Media Really Brainwashing People

What are you even saying

Ikio:
Like i said no org in the world can accuse russia only britain can do that, are u a child or wat, their is a case when i accuse u of tryin 2 murder me, luk this is how it goes if i accuse u of kidnap and provide evidence u wil be arrested whether u like it or not its common sense.

Yah!..the problem with that is that there was no evidence or proofs given. Or should every one take Britain's word for it. What happened to the "innocent until proven guilty ". Should anyone be mailed to a cross on mere accusations only .The so called evidence was circumstantial at best.

Ikio:
Its common sense and every law student knows wat i said i don't nid 2 go listen 2 d media.

...this is an alleged claim in a totally different setting. The Kremlin asked for Joint investigation and that was refused. They tried again by asking for a sample so that they can check out the substance and that was also rejected then boom the next thing is starting a russophobia campaign and also began giving sanctions without proofs or evidence and they couldn't even wait for the Opcw.
Critical thinking proves that something is fishy and they want to move on quickly with their intended objectives

Ikio:
And Where In The World Are U Allowed To Investigate A Case When U Are D Cuprit U Can't Judge A Case When U Ar Involve Its Common "Law"

The official narrative is "alleged" use by ...
And where did you get the info that the peeps in Kremlin are the culprits even your propaganda media houses dont make that claim anymore.
You must be close to that buffoon Boris (the liar).

Ikio:
So many russian trolls on nairaland

And what are you. Western brainwashed and conditioned drone who alone quotes himself

Blessed be Vladimirovich Putin - The Lord our strength which teacheth our hands to war, and our fingers to fight:

Our goodness, and our Nuclear Fortress; our high tower, our deliverer; our Missile Defense Shield, and he in whom we trust; who subdueth Amerika, Israel, France, Turkey, Saudi-Arabia & Britain under us.

Lord, what is Amerika, that thou takest knowledge of her! or Israel, that thou makest account of her?

Amerika is like vanity: and her days are like shadow that passeth away.

Bow thy Ilyushin Il-96 Presidential Jet, O Lord, and come down: touch Turkey & Saudi-Arabia with Iskander-M, and they shall smoke.

Cast forth Topol-M, and scatter them: shoot out thine Bulava, and destroy them.

Send thine hand from above; rid the world, and deliver her out of great waters, from the shackles of Amerika & her AngloZionist empire - whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

We will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will we sing praises unto thee.

It is Vladimirovich Putinski that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth Bashar Al-Assad - his friend from the hurtful sword of NATO & Amerika's liver-eating terrorists in Syria.

Rid the world, and deliver her from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of propaganda:

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of the kremlin:

That I may commandeer Missy89, Nightie, Mizmycoli, Houseofglam7, Sinaj, Raayah, & Itannooluwa; that they may bear me 6 sons & 4 daughters each in my palace in Ijebu.

That we may divide all the Amerikan Corporations - Banks, Telecoms, Oil & Gas, Aviation, Transport, Automobile & Defense Firms among the Nairaland's league of Russian 5star Generals - Appleyard, Nairaminted, Scully95, Capip120, Poseidon000, Fineguy11, Shym3xx, Stanech, GTkester, Bonechamberlain, Overhypedsteve, Panafrican, Seunny4lif, Romme2u, Jnhmaxxwell, Stalwert, Underground, Seagulsntrawler, NaijaTalkTown & Januzaj.

That we may subject Mazeltov, ValerianSteel, Bookface, Tdayof, CSTR12, Obagadaffi & Lucasbalo to house mountain arrest on mount kilimanjaro - leaving them with only 7 British heated blankets, 7 Israeli Mattresses, 7 Turkish Pillows, 7 Saudi-Arabian donkeys (for their sexual pleasure), 7 French solar-powered lanterns, 1 Amerikan goat (for Asun) & 7 crates of Orijin.

That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:

That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets. That there be no more Amerikan sponsorship of terrorists like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Al-Shabab & Boko-Haram; that there be no more Amerika & Israeli conspiracies & usurpation of foreign governments.

Happy is that people, that is in such a case: Yea, happy is that people, whose God is Vladimirovich Putin.

My comrade Zoharariel...
What shall I make of this for in the sharing of those corporation thou omitted my name.
Or do I not have enough Kremlin blood coursing through my veins that I should not able to join the feast at the table of Uncle Vlad

mojeer678:
The Skripal poisoning case has always been pretty ludicrous, an old man and his daughter, total non-entities, poisoned with a military grade nerve agent happen to survive and recover. Not likely, nerve agents kill in seconds, and the Russians had no interest in poisoning an old spy who had served his time in prison a long time ago.

Now we have the first concrete proof that the whole sorry narrative is a fraud perpetrated by the British. BZ is a nasty substance developed by the British and Americans, it was tested in Angola and other places, it is a hallucinogen that decapacitates, it is not a fatal nerve agent.
Today the OPCW begin their investigation in Douma, where we are sure they will find no evidence of Assad having gassed anyone.

We should not be surprised if the OPCW investigation in Douma torpedos the ‘Assad the gassing monster’ narrative, just as the Swiss lab tests have sunk the Skripal fairytale.

Furthermore, we would not be surprised if the OPCW findings are ignored and disputed by the US, lest they interfere in the plans for war that appear to be rolling inexorably forward.

Lavrov: Swiss lab says ‘BZ toxin’ used in Salisbury, not produced in Russia, was in US & UK service

The substance used on Sergei Skripal was an agent called BZ, according to Swiss state Spiez lab, the Russian foreign minister said. The toxin was never produced in Russia, but was in service in the US, UK, and other NATO states.

Sergei Skripal, a former Russian double agent, and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with an incapacitating toxin known as 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate or BZ, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, citing the results of the examination conducted by a Swiss chemical lab that worked with the samples that London handed over to the Organisation for the Prohibition of the Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

The Swiss center sent the results to the OPCW. However, the UN chemical watchdog limited itself only to confirming the formula of the substance used to poison the Skripals in its final report without mentioning anything about the other facts presented in the Swiss document, the Russian foreign minister added. He went on to say that Moscow would ask the OPCW about its decision to not include any other information provided by the Swiss in its report.

The Swiss center mentioned by Lavrov is the Spiez Laboratory controlled by the Swiss Federal Office for Civil Protection and ultimately by the country’s defense minister. The lab is also an internationally recognized center of excellence in the field of the nuclear, biological, and chemical protection and is one of the five centers permanently authorized by the OPCW.

The Russian foreign minister said that London refused to answer dozens of “very specific” questions asked by Moscow about the Salisbury case, as well as to provide any substantial evidence that could shed light on the incident. Instead, the UK accused Russia of failing to answer its own questions, he said, adding that, in fact, London did not ask any questions but wanted Moscow to admit that it was responsible for the delivery of the chemical agent to the UK.

The scandal erupted in early March, when former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found in critical condition in the town of Salisbury. Top UK officials almost immediately pinned the blame on Russia.

Moscow believes that the entire Skripal case lacks transparency and that the UK is in fact not interested in an independent inquiry. “We get the impression that the British government is deliberately pursuing the policy of destroying all possible evidence, classifying all remaining materials and making a transparent investigation impossible,” the Russian ambassador to the UK, Alexander Yakovenko, said during a press conference on Friday.

Absolutely on point bro..

I'm just on the look out for those drones who don't think but rather believe the west and their mainstream propaganda media narrative by shutting down their Critical reasoning skills.
Same false Flags also have been used as a pretext to attack Assad and some peeps are believing it and not asking questions.
The west and the neocon's punks want and are pushing for war, they'll get it in full measure soon

Forget the Novichok-Skripal narrative peddled out by Boris “the buffoon” Johnson, Theresa May and the Deep State mainstream media stenographers.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has just dropped a bombshell revelation that blows the Salisbury poisoning hoax apart…A Swiss lab says that ‘BZ toxin’ was used in Salisbury.

The toxin was not produced in Russia, but was in service in the US and UK, as well as other NATO member states.

The substance used on Sergei Skripal was an agent called BZ, according to a Swiss lab, the Russian foreign minister said. The toxin was never produced in Russia, but was in service in the US, UK, and other NATO states.

Sergei Skripal, a former Russian double agent, and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with an incapacitating toxin known as 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate or BZ, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, citing the results of the examination conducted by a Swiss chemical lab that worked with the samples that London handed over to the Organisation for the Prohibition of the Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

The controversial American/English/French coalitions missile strikes in Syria last night have resulted in minimal damage to the Syrian army, as ZeroHedge overviews.

According to Russian and Syrian media, Out of the 103 Tomahawk Missiles utilized by coalition forces against the Syrian army targets, 71 were successfully deflected by the Syrian army using outdated 30 year old Soviet era anti aircraft systems.


They're calling him 'Neocon Don'
The state media reported that three Syrians were injured by the strikes, with no military personnel killed. The Dumeir military airfield, one of the coalition targets, emerged completely unharmed.

It seems this entire attack appears to have been a hollow show of force as the Syrians have emerged unscathed.


Here’s the report from Russian TV News with English subs. Full transcript below:

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense the Syrian air defense shot down a considerable part of the missiles.

Evgeny Nippot knows what equipment the country has for the air defense.

That is a salvage of the Tomahawk missile shot down by the Syrian air defense. The Syrian authorities tried to maintain the operability of the air defense systems, despite the exhausting conflict in the country.

Igor Korotchenko, editor-in-chief of the Natsionalnaya Oborona magazine: "The Syrian army was trained and equipped with the help of the Soviet Union. For the last several years, the Russian servicemen have been operating in Syria, and they helped the Syrians to plan and conduct ground operations against the terrorists and militants. It's clear that today Syria has only two military allies, which are Russia and Iran."

The base of the Syrian air shed is made up of the Soviet equipment, mainly the S-75, S-125 and S-200 complexes.

Victor Murakhovsky, editor-in-chief of the Arsenal Otechestva magazine: "Moreover, Russia has supplied Buk M2E mid-range air-defense complexes but this is about an insignificant quantity, about 1 or 2 battalions. Pantsir S air defense systems were also supplied, about 40 units. Apparently, 8 batteries with 4 units in each are defending mostly facilities in Damascus, and 2 batteries with 8 units each are used for training the air-defense specialists."

Experts say local military are trained by the instructors from Russia and Iran. The new equipment helped to enhance the potential of the Syrian air-defense. Thus, the Buk is capable of hitting targets at the height of about 20 kilometers, the effective range is more than 30, the complex can detect 24 targets at once. And the Pantsir is carrying 12 missiles. Moreover, it carries about 1,500 rounds which can hit targets at a range of 20 kilometers.


Victor Murakhovsky: "The most protected are: Damascus, government facilities such as the Ministry of Defense, the general staff, communication complexes, and some facilities near Damascus, such as the government airfield, And among the most protected are the objects near the Golan Heights, at the border with Israel, because the Syrian air-defense has been developed to resist the strikes from Israel."
Meanwhile, the Syrian authorities claim that due to the actions of the military, the missiles failed to reach all its targets on the territory of Syria. And the Ministry of Information has addressed the citizens, urging them "not to believe the enemy TV-channels, who intentionally exaggerate the scale of the attack".

And it begins. The great war of our time.
Let amerikanks and her allies that we are not fooled and all this would not end well for anyone.

fineguy11:
Potus has consulted with his Generals.they have painted and outlined all possible likely scenarios and the consequence of going ahead with the planned strike and the result is simple...IF WE STRIKE ASSAD,THE RUSKIES WILL LIKELY STRIKE OUR INTEREST IN SYRIA.

Your head dey there...
The outcome would favour no one and the US would lick its wounds

Putin is saying in Gandalf's voice "you shall not pass "

Brilliant!!

White Helmets staged Douma ‘chemical weapons attack’ on civilians — Russian General Staff
Military & Defense April 11, 17:46

On April 7, a number of NGOs, including the White Helmets, alleged that chemical weapons were used in Douma, Eastern Ghouta

MOSCOW, April 11. /TASS/. The chemical weapons attack on civilians in the Syrian town of Douma was staged and filmed by members of the White Helmets organization, First Deputy Chief of the Russian General Staff’s Main Operations Department Lieutenant General Viktor Poznikhir told reporters on Wednesday.

"On April 7, probably the last attempt to stage a chemical weapons attack in Eastern Ghouta was made. The notorious White Helmets, who operate as part of terrorist groups, staged and filmed a chemical weapons attack on civilians in the town of Douma," he said.



Terrorists have failed to fake any chemical weapon attacks against civilians in Eastern Ghouta, he added.

"During the humanitarian operation, the illegal armed units fighting in Eastern Ghouta have incessantly attempted to organize provocations involving the alleged use of toxic chemicals so as to put the blame for the use of chemical weapons on the Syrian government forces," he said.

"Since the beginning of the humanitarian operation in Eastern Ghouta terrorists have failed to fake a single so-called chemical weapon attack against the civilian population," the general said.

A workshop where militants had been loading ammunition with poisonous chemical agents has been found in underground tunnels in Syria, he went on.

He said the militants had been plotting provocations involving the use of war gases, but all those plans had been timely exposed by the Syrian authorities and the Russian center for the reconciliation of conflicting parties.

"For instance, on March 3 the militants’ workshop was found in an underground tunnel in Hazrama. Makeshift ammunition pieces were charged with poisonous agents there," he said.

On April 7, a number of NGOs, including the White Helmets, alleged that chemical weapons were used in Douma, Eastern Ghouta. According to the statement published on the organization’s website on April 8, chlorine bombs had been dropped on the city, killing dozens and poisoning many locals who had to be brought to the hospital. The Russian Foreign Ministry dismissed that report as fake news. The Defense Ministry added that the White Helmets were notorious for spreading falsehoods. Regardless of that fact, on Sunday, when asked about the alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria, Trump blamed Russia and Iran for supporting Assad’s regime.

On April 9, Russian military chemists visited the site of the alleged chemical weapons attack in Douma, including the health facility shown in the White Helmets’ footage, but found neither cases of exposure to chemical weapons nor traces of toxic agents.

Putin... The head of all irunmole's worldwide.

Zoharariel:
If Trump, his zionist masters, his allies & all his supporters are not animals, then they should answer these 5 important questions.

1.) With the current international focus on chemical weapons, why would Assad hurt his cause by attacking a non-military target with chemical weapons?

2.) With global political discussion focusing more on the Saudi Arabian war with Yemen, the Skripal attack, and the Israeli genocide against Palestinians; why would Assad choose this moment to conduct a chemical attack and potentially distract the world from these issues?

3.) The Syrian Arab Army is currently operating in Douma; why would Assad risk dropping chemical weapons that could hit his own troops?

4.) Trump has publicly stated he intends to pull out of Syria “very soon”. Why then would the Syrian Government endanger & delay this development?

5.) Cui bono? Who has the most to gain from this chemical attack? The Syrian Arab Army (SAA), who are already winning this war, or the cornered jihadist forces in desperate need of aid and air support from Amerika?

Now, listen to me. The Skripal poisoning was a "UK false flag" event designed to coincide with an Amerika inspired false flag chemical weapons attack in East Ghouta Syria so that Amerika & NATO could have the excuse to bomb the Presidential palace in Damascus like they did to Gadaffi in Libya.

See the link below:

On March 13th, 2018 - Russian military command claims US is aiming to strike Damascus on an “invented pretext”. Advises them against it.

It was also designed to coincide with Mother Russia being ousted from the UN Security Council but it all went horribly wrong for Britain & Amerika resulting in the sacking of "Rex Tillerson" who had not told Trump of this CIA plan.

Russian and Syrian special forces discovered the chemical weapons factories in Ghouta with 40 tonnes of chemical weapons and recognized the build up of the Amerikan Navy vessels in attack formation aka Iraq war.

See the link below:

On March 19th, 2018 - Russian and Syrian military figures reported they feared the rebels would stage a “false flag” chemical attack in order to drag US/NATO into action in Syria.

Posterity will judge Mother Russia kindly for her steadfastness to avoiding WW3 - which is something Amerika/NATO appears to be aiming for.

Nevertheless, I hope the S-400s + the S-300s + the Pantsir-S1 + the Krasukha-4 are already in combat mode to shoot down all intruding aircrafts & missiles coming from these false flag intruding nations - bastards!

My brother... Your head is well greased
Looking at things with a critical red pill lens unlike some conditioned and brainwashed imb**iles.
Those five questions raised are valid ones

adedehinbo:
Ben Boris of UK who started this propaganda is expected to be queried soon on the issue

Hopefully ....the result of the investigation is already out and they said they can't trace the source. The question is why pin it on Russia when it has been established that any one with sufficient knowledge of organic chemistry with a good lab can cook this.. Plus there's evidence of its sale on the black market

Nice piece. People should start to think critically about things and not eat up every bit of western propaganda.
Skripal's case comes to mind. Pls people, listen more to alt media, gather info from more than one source(s) and filter you get little bits of truth which you can piece together. Avoid CNN, BBC and Co cause they'll do more than just brainwashing
