Peter Ford - Idlib: Lull Earlier The Hurricane
Are the world existence primed for a volume bombing of Syria? No postulate for chemic weapons, the world has been taught that the Assad regime is evil. The US regime is going to drive to a greater extent than mayhem too destruction.
New US policies for Syria
Without fanfare the US has only reformulated its seat to practise the weather condition for it to launch devastating strikes on Syrian Arab Republic no longer only on the pretext of alleged role of chemic weapons but on whatever ‘humanitarian’ pretext the US sees fit. In an interview alongside the Washington Post on vi September, James Jeffrey, the hawkish novel Special Envoy for Syrian Arab Republic fresh from the neocon incubator of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, did non mince words:
“We’ve started using novel language,” Jeffrey said, referring to previous warnings against the role of chemic weapons. Now, he said, the US of America volition non tolerate “an attack. Period.”“Any offensive is to us objectionable equally a reckless escalation” he said. “You add together to that, if yous role chemic weapons, or practise refu¬gee flows or ready on innocent civilians.”
Jeffrey’s remarks were lilliputian noticed because he was that hateful solar daytime announcing something else to a greater extent than right away striking: a ‘new’ policy on Syrian Arab Republic involving cancellation of Trump’s announced difference of US troops earlier the cease of 2018 too instatement of a conception to rest on indefinitely until achievement of the twin goals of removing all describe of the Iranian presence inward Syrian Arab Republic too installation of a Syrian regime which would come across US weather condition – weather condition which President Asad would past times Jeffrey’s ain admission non hold out probable to meet.
The headlines naturally focussed on this latest Washington folly – practise they intend Islamic Republic of Iran volition upwards sticks equally long equally in that place is a unmarried US soldier on Syrian soil, or that in that place is Syrian Mandela waiting inward the wings? – too the importance of the remarks virtually Idlib was missed. Yet those words may hold out virtually to choose the Blue Planet to the brink of global war.
