the obvious bit of hypocrisy in the american warning is the actions of the empire in iraq but read it all and decide for yourself;
Last week the US warned of military strikes on Syria “if” government
forces use chemical weapons (CW). This week, Trump comes clean by
dropping any mention of a CW pretext – simply warning Syria not to
attack terrorists.
Trump tweeted his warning to Syria, as well as its allied Russian and
Iranian forces, to not launch a military offensive to retake control of
the northwest province of Idlib. The area is the last remaining
stronghold of illegally armed militant groups in Syria. It’s potentially
the endgame to the nearly eight-year war.
On Monday, Trump said: “President Bashar al-Assad of Syria must
not recklessly attack Idlib Province. The Russians and Iranians would be
making a grave humanitarian mistake to take part in this potential
human tragedy.”
The US’ top general, Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also reiterated seeming anxiety for humanitarian casualties, calling for a “tailored operation.”
So, alleged chemical weapons are no longer part of the US rationale.
It’s basically: don’t make any military move. The American president
added that “hundreds of thousands of lives” could be lost if
Syria and its allies move to rid the province of an estimated 10,000
militants among a civilian population of three million.
Trump’s apparent “humanitarian” concern seems alarmist, if
not cynical. When did he articulate similar misgivings when US air
forces were pounding Raqqa to bits last year, causing thousands of
civilian deaths?
