US Looking for 'Pretext' to Engage in Damascus Battle ("Ruinous Heap" Scenario)

[AZJoe]

From Jason Ditz:

Recently, various US officials have been suggesting substantial attacks on the Syrian military are imminent. …
US officials have been drumming up multiple pretexts for another strike …

the US has previously believed that they could carry out the occasional attack against Syrian military targets with impunity. This was the case with the April tomahawk missile attacks against a Syrian air base …

This talk of attacking Syria has provoked a warning from the Russian Foreign Ministry, and a second warning from top Russian generals. Russia’s military chief of staff warns Russia would retaliate “against the missiles and launchers used” by the US in such a strike. With Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warning of “grave consequences,” … US strikes would not be consequence-free.

US strike under any justification would risk a long feared direct war between the US and Russia. … a top US general was warning US troops to prepare for a “big-ass war” with Russia. …

The Russians, in their anxiety to show the West how friendly they are, left Washington with a toe hold in Syria, which Washington is using to reopen the war. … To get the war going again, Washington has to find a way to come to the aid of its mercenaries.

The Trump regime has found, or so it thinks, its excuse in the revival of the Obama regime’s fake charge of Syrian use of chemical weapons. This made-up lie by the Obama regime was put to rest by Russian intervention that made sure there were no Syrian chemical weapons. … Russia delivered the chemical weapons to the US for destruction. Little doubt Washington still has them and will use some of them with their Syrian markings for what appears to be a coming false flag attack … Washington will create a “situation,” blame Assad and Putin, and with or without congressional authorization introduce US intervention in behalf of Washington’s mercenaries. …

What is important to Washington is Israel’s demand that Washington destroy Syria and Iran in order to get rid of Hezbollah’s supporters so that Israel can seize southern Lebanon.

No doubt that other interests are in on the plot. Oil companies … the crazed neocons … the military/security complex ... But it is Israel’s determination to expand its boundaries and water resources that set all of the Middle East conflict in motion. …

literally everyone in the Trump regime is issuing threats to Russia— Mattis, Tillerson, Nikki Haley, government spokespersons, the UK PM and UK Foreign Secretary. … There is no prospect whatsoever of the British going to war against Russia. The entirety of the UK would be instantly wiped out, yet the UK PM issues ultimatums to Russia. … The entire Western world is insane.
