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

[goldenequity]

Saturday's UNSC Ceasefire 'vote' for 'ceasefire' was unanimous... Russia voted yes. Diplomatic 'barbs' were exchanged throughout.
It is largely being ignored on the battlefields, both by Turkey in Afrin invasion, and by both Syrian Allied forces & Militants in E. Ghouta.




US threats of force against Damascus ‘seriously alarm’ Russia — senior diplomat
http://tass.com/politics/991549

On February 24, the United Nations Security Council in a unanimous vote approved Resolution 2401 demanding a 30-day ceasefire across Syria
to allow aid access to the population in need.

Russia’s UN envoy Vasily Nebenzya said Moscow
"supported this document because:
►it spurs the Syrian conflict sides to end hostilities as soon as possible,
►to implement previously agreed decisions on the issue
►and to engage in negotiations on general de-escalation
►and on introduction of long humanitarian pauses throughout the country’s entire territory."

The diplomat stressed that:
►the ceasefire could not be applied to operations against terrorist organizations in Syria,
►and counter-terrorism missions would continue.

...Washington threats are heard again of using force, which is unlawful," the diplomat said.
"They are searching for pretexts and this fully runs counter to the meaning and content of the UN Security Council Resolution 2401."

The diplomat noted that Western partners who have recently voiced great concerns over the humanitarian situation in Syria
need to fully comply with the UN Security Council’s decisions.
"A different behavior will mean that the US and its allies violate the UN Security Council Resolution 2401."

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered a daily five hour ceasefire in the East Ghouta region of Damascus that will allow civilians time to reach safety.

According to a military source in Damascus, the Russian President’s ceasefire will take place each day from the hours of 9 A.M. – 2 P.M. (Damascus Time).

This latest humanitarian pause will specifically take place in all parts of the East Ghouta region, including the areas that have a Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham presence.

The Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) operations will not likely be affected by this daily ceasefire, as they usually launch their operations at dawn and dusk.

UK Threatens Damascus With Airstrikes
https://muraselon.com/en/2018/02/uk-...us-airstrikes/

British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has stated that the UK might support airstrikes against the Syrian government
if there’s evidence of chemical weapons’ use.

“If we know that it has happened, and we can demonstrate it, and if there is a proposal for action where the UK could be useful
then I think we should seriously consider it,” Johnson told BBC.

The statement comes a day
after the infamous White Helmets NGO claimed that the Syrian government
had deployed chlorine gas against the town of Al-Shifoniya in Eastern Ghouta,
allegedly killing one child and causing “widespread suffocation” among the local civilians.

Macron has threatened similar things.. meanwhile:

According to the Syrian military, the Islamist rebels heavily shelled the humanitarian corridor that was setup at the Wafiddeen Refugee Camp near the large city of Douma.

The Syrian military added that one civilian was severely wounded during the first barrage of artillery shells that hit the Wafiddeen Camp crossing.

Since the first attack, the Islamist rebels have launched a second barrage of artillery shells towards the crossing in a bid to deter civilians from fleeing the war-zone.

These actions were accompanied by intense artillery fire and fire from small arms, ”

Responding to the attacks, the head of the Russian Reconciliation Center called on all militant groups
to observe the ceasefire and do not prevent the exit of civilians into safe areas.

Syria accuses US of transporting ISIS leaders to safety
https://www.almasdarnews.com/article...eaders-safety/

According to the Syrian state-run news agency SANA, the US has evacuated Daesh leaders
from the Al-Shaddadah area in the northeastern al-Hasakah Governorate using its helicopters.

The extremists have been transported to Sabah al-Khair, a base located 20 km south of the city of al-Hasakah,
which US forces use to train militants, the civilian sources said as cited by SANA.

The sources added that the helicopters dropped off four senior Daesh terrorists, including one holding Belgian nationality.

They also noted that the evacuation occurred amid reports on social media accounts held by terrorists
that the militant called “Abu Qasim al-Iraqi” had disappeared along with his wife and a bodyguard as well as a large amount of money.

The reports of US collusion with extremists emerge on a regular basis.
On February 21, an anonymous source from al-Hasakah told Sputnik that local residents had witnessed US helicopters
landing on the territory of a local prison and then leaving; the source explained that the flights were for the evacuation of radicals.

Earlier in November 2017, reports had emerged saying that “US military aviation” was used to take Daesh commanders from the town of al-Mayadin
just before it was recaptured by the Syrian army.

The Russian Defense Ministry has said that the US-led coalition was engaged in the training of former Daesh and Nusra Front terrorists
on a base near al-Hasakah in order to create the new militant formation called the “New Syrian Army.”

Its around time for another Washington false flag gas attack to blame Assad and allow a pretext for missile strikes.

SAA just found an underground chemical facility in Al Shifonyeh E. Ghouta
Terrorists used it to develop chemical weapons.

The important point being not 'Italy' but THIS is what U NEED to homebrew chemical weaponry.
Underground. by Western backed Al Qaeda. Next to Damascus.)

MoD Gerasimov: We will retaliate if US attacks Damascus over "Chemical weapons"

[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.
