    Breaking: US Coalition bombs Syrian Army in southeast Homs


    Breaking: US Coalition bombs Syrian Army in southeast Homs:


    The U.S. Coalition has once again bombed the Syrian Armed Forces in southeastern countryside of the Homs Governorate, destroying a number of armored vehicles that advanced towards the Al-Tanf Crossing.

    “The Coalition destroyed additional pro-regime forces that advanced inside the well-established de-conflication zone in southern Syria on June 6,” a statement released by the Pentagon read today.

    The Coalition allegedly sent several warnings to the advancing Syrian Army troops, but they refused to halt their push towards the Al-Tanf Crossing on the Iraqi-Syrian border.

    Previously, the U.S. Coalition carried out a similar attack on May 18th that killed several Syrian military personnel that were advancing against the Free Syrian Army (FSA) units in southeast Homs.

    The Syrian military command has not issued a response to the U.S.’ aggression.

    It's simple. We don't want to become involved in a Neocon boondoggle in Syria by fighting the ISIS forces in Syria, so we're bombing pro-government forces instead.

Just a couple days ago the U.S. military created it's second illegal base in southern Syria (in addition to the illegal base at the al tanf border crossing). Syrian troops actually would like to work with the U.S. to get rid of ISIS and al qaeda: Syrian troops are no threat and have no desire to be a threat to the US. Iraq's shiite 'Popular Mobilization Forces' and the Syrian government want to re-open the Damascus-Baghdad highway for trade and commerce between their countries. Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces fought long and hard to liberate Mosul and now that that fight is winding down they want this linkage with Syria and vice versa. The U.S. is forbidding this and apparently have ordered the Kurds to also forbid this as the Kurd's are also forbidding the two country's governments from being able to link up in the north.

    The U.S. military has no legal right to do this. This is:

    • illegal under U.S. law and the U.S. Constitution
    • illegal under international law


    The U.S. military has no right to murder the armed forces of a sovereign nation that is no threat whatsoever to the U.S. citizenry; the U.S. military has no right to establish military bases in a sovereign country that is no threat to the U.S. citizenry without that sovereign country's permission.

    Do you really think Trump wants to gamble with WW3 breaking out? Highly doubtful, unless he's a figurehead at this point.

    This is the third attack on Syrian forces, so yes, he's now repeatedly gambled with that. Plus the American ground forces there...

    But by all means please just continue with the Trump will prevent WW III meme train.

    Let us dispel this myth once and for all that Trump doesn't know what he's doing, he knows exactly what he's doing.

    Actually if you include the U.S. Military bombing and murdering of 82 Syrian soldiers in Deir Ezzor near the end of Obama's reign, it's a fourth attack not a third attack. The U.S. Military said it was a "mistake". I say bull$#@!. That was no mistake. It was almost like the U.S. coordinated with ISIS who attacked and took over large and strategic parts of Deir Ezzor during the U.S. bombing of Syrian soldiers who were located at Deir Ezzor's Syrian military base. Right before that Obama acquiesced and said he would work with Syria and Russia against ISIS. Dennis Kucinich and others believe the military purposely overrode Obama's orders to them. Here's a link to Kucinich discussing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j_ZfKmcnSk&t=3m1s. It's sad really; the Syrian soldiers said that a U.S. drone was watching them in Deir Ezzor all the previous day: since they were aware of Obama's orders, they assumed U.S. forces were friendly and ignored the drone. However it appears that the U.S. Military wanted ISIS to take over Deir Ezzor.

    Similarly, the Kurds are now attacking Raqqa but they are leaving open an area to the south where ISIS can, and currently are, leaving Raqqa. So large numbers of ISIS are currently leaving Raqqa and going to Deir Ezzor where the Syrian government is again under siege. The Kurds did the same thing in al Tabqah when they were trying to control it, and where they left an area to the south of al Tabqah open where ISIS fighters could leave. In fact i read that the Kurds had an arrangement with ISIS telling them if they left al Tabqah that they would not attack them. Which is what happened.

    My gut is the U.S. Military's goal is to steal/keep a large "buffer" zone of sovereign Syrian territory along the entire Iraqi/Syrian border in order to isolate Syria. The U.S. Military's goal is also to steal all sovereign Syrian territory east of the Euphrates which is why they are doing their best to take Deir Ezzor (which is the only area in Syria east of the Euphrates that Assad's forces currently control). The Deir Ezzor region also has the greatest amount of oil and gas resources in Syria. And if the heathens in the U.S. Military get their way and steal all sovereign Syrian land east of the Euphrates, the long-discussed pipeline through Syria (which Assad refused to allow) from the Gulf States to Europe will also be a bonus for the hegemons in the U.S. government that want to destroy the Russian economy which depends on selling gas to Europe.

    Lavrov: Deconfliction zones in Syria announced without Damascus’ consent illegitimate


    Russia considers the US-led coalition airstrike against pro-Damascus fighters in Syria an act of aggression
    and rejects the justification for the attack issued by the Pentagon, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

    The Tuesday airstrike near the town of At Tanf in eastern Syria was an aggressive act,
    that violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic

    and – deliberately or not – targeted the forces which are most effective in fighting terrorists on the ground,”
    the minister said on Wednesday.

    The Pentagon justified the attack
    by saying that the pro-government forces “advanced inside the well-established deconfliction [sic] zone in southern Syria.”

    “I don’t know anything about such zones."
    This must be some territory, which the coalition unilaterally declared [deconfliction zones]
    and where it probably believes to have a sole right to take action.
    We cannot recognize such zones,”

    Of course he's a figurehead. He's surrounded by bankers. All of which who amazingly manage to never even get a mention among all of the administration scandals/investigations. It's just the banker CFR doing what they always do regarding wars coinciding with major economic changes. Wars and rumors of wars make for great excuses to change things that otherwise wouldn't be tolerated or would be noticed too easily without war news filling the news cycle. History repeats but mostly because it's the same people repeating the same playbook. I don't think the usual war catalyst FF is far off now. Trump's FBI nominee, Wray, was involved in both 9/11 and Enron...
