If the strike does happen where do you think they will aim?
And will it have much impact on the state of play in the war?
Are the strikes part of a widening of the war with NATO?

Trump sinking so low he called his colleague Assad an animal. Accusing Russia and Iran of also carrying blame for “the chemical attack”. Then with the same posture saying a response to “the chemical attack” will come within 48. And all this while right from the beginning he could have decided to not side with USA nurtured wahabbi terrorists in Syria and calling for an investigation first.
I really wonder if he and his war craving handlers will settle for a none-war-response. I think there will be some military attack. Maybe USA missiles launched from another nearby (NATO) country or from a (French/Israeli/…) war ship so the Russian response can be more easily framed by war inciting presstitutes as an attack on another “innocent” country.
OPCW heading to damascus would have been a good sign were it not for that other time when during their landing in Damascas another chemical attack was purpetrated by the USA nurtured wahabbi terrorists and blamed on Assad. Not that this would happen again now but I’m not putting my hopes on it.

surely you don’t believe the confusing, contradictory announcements released by
the respective defense ministries? For all anybody knows the Pentagon told
Russia that it’s ships were enroute to their Syrian coast.
Yulia is out of hospital and in hiding and suddenly her father is gaining strength.
their stories could range from implying that “Putin did it” to MI6 got it totally
wrong. Same with the Goutha gas attack, The UN might find there wasn’t one and that
the militants perpetrated a fraud on the West.
These simultaneous allegations against Russia may be nothing more than ministers and
secretaries repeating untrue stories, which were told to them intentionally on purpose.
I know it sounds crazy and conspiratorial, but, hey, that’s what life has become in the
last 2 or 3 years.

Is Mr Trump made into believing these PR Stunts of the White Helmets or do you think he’s playing the deep states game? If it’s the first, there is at least the chance of him somewhere along the way learning about what’s really going on in syria, if it’s not too late by then.

This part of the statement of Dr. Blanshard, medical director of Salisbury hospital, is remarkable:
“While I won’t go into great detail about the treatment we’ve been providing, I will say that nerve agents work by attaching themselves to a particular enzyme in the body which then stops the nerves from working properly. This results in symptoms such as sickness, hallucinations and confusion. Our job in treating the patients has been to stabilise them– ensuring that the patients could breathe and that blood could continue to circulate. We then needed to use a variety of different drugs to support the patients until they could create more enzymes to replace those affected by the poisoning. We also used specialised decontamination techniques to remove any residual toxins.”
https://www.england.nhs.uk/south/2018/04/10/updates-on-the-salisbury-incident-7/
There was no need for her to go in detail about Julia’s recovery, but she did, and what she says fits much more a food poisoning from fish or shellfish than a military nerve agent. The bombshell is at the end. “Toxin” is a poison generated by a plant or animal, i.e. a biological poison. Novichok is no toxin. Doctors are used to formulate careful and precise.
In my eyes this statement is a slap in the face of the British government and its Novichok story and a sign that it’s going to collapse soon.

I suspect that it is currently SecDef General Mattis who is putting the damper on a “kinetic” response to the fake gas attack in Syria, even given that hawk McMaster has been replaced by super-hawk Bolton as National Security chief.
Reminds one somewhat of Chairman General Dempsey’s actions almost five years ago, on Syria. Dempsey at that time took a position against bombing Syria because any Assad replacement would be worse.
So currently we have the rather odd situation in the US where the generals can be less belligerent than the civilian hawks who alway promote more war.
Regarding generals, I don’t have any proof but I know that even opposing generals sometimes consider themselves brothers-in-arms, with more in common with each other than with those ignorant civilans. I believe currently the Russians and US generals are using “backchannel” mesages to stay in sync. Hey, maybe they are even exchanging target lists, and asking for advice, in a sort of macabre humor? Who knows.

Yes, absolutely.
I was very skeptical at first, but I’ve come to regard something food-related as most likely, like people here at the MoA have proposed. ‘b’ plus I think ‘Jen’, is that her name?
It struck me as conspicuous that Blanshard wouldn’t just state what substance exactly they were dealing with, if said substance was indeed some manufactured military nerve agent. But since the British government have flung their reputation and credibility down Big Ben by coming up with this Novichok nonsense, Blanshard can’t say anything other than what she did say.
Also there’s no mention of ‘poisoning’, ‘attack’ or some such term, which would indicate a perpetrator actively and intentionally bringing the Skripals into contact with the substance. It’s just ‘incident’. Adding to that, the phrase “have been exposed to” suggests ‘environmental’ to me, and that’s what food-borne is.

Warning from the European Aviation Safety Agency regarding possible #Syria airstrikes

Posted by: Yul | Apr 10 2018 20:11 utc | 26

It seems clear that there will be a Russian response:

Russia’s envoy to the European Union says Moscow has warned the U.S. against striking Syria.
Vladimir Chizhov told Euronews on Tuesday that “Russia has warned U.S. representatives, publicly as well as through proper channels, over the grave consequences that could arise if these strikes happen and whether deliberately or otherwise Russian citizens are hurt.”
Chizhov’s comment follows an earlier statement by the chief of the Russian military’s General Staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, who warned that Russia will fire back if the U.S. attacks Syrian government facilities.
Gerasimov noted last month that Russian military officers are present at Syrian facilities and warned that “if a threat to our servicemen emerges, the Russian armed forces will take retaliatory measures against both missiles and their carriers.”

“A time will come where silence is betrayal.”
These words will forever ring in my ears.
Not that this time hasn’t been around since at least 18 years, but with the increasing possibility of an escalation leading towards a full blown nuclear war, it is more true than ever before.
We need to talk about this nuclear war. We need to ask each other about what a nuclear war actually means. The masses have been bred gullible and in order to penetrate the MSM shield, people need to bring up the prospect of nuclear war in every conversation.
Only when the collective consciousness starts to realize that nuclear war knows no winners and that it is imminent – with all known consequences – might we stand a chance to avoid it.
Observing the busy bees in Germany with their Porsches, BMWs, Mercedes, Audis and such, their fancy clothes and shiny houses, the assumption arises that these people don’t know what will happen to their beloved cars, dresses and villas when a 25 megaton warhead will home in.
The question must be:
What are you willing to do to avert a full scale nuclear war? Nothing? I might take a camera and go about interviewing the folks on the street about that question. Because one thing should be a no-brainer. There won’t be any business as usual left. The busy bees will run in circles and fade away in agony.

For two days in a row the Dutch donkey to the UN has been ruminating Al Qaeda propaganda for the world to see.
The Al Qaeda linked Stichting Mayday Rescue Foundation continues to operate unimpeded from the Netherlands, providing financial support to terrorist operating in Syria. Tens of millions of euros of taxpayers money has been provided to “moderate” headchoppers and amateur actors staging “chemical attacks”.
Meanwhile the Netherlands prides itself on the presence of institutions like the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

Russia has figured out how to jam U.S. drones in Syria, officials say

Four U.S. officials said Russia’s signal scrambling has seriously affected military operations.
WASHINGTON — The Russian military has been jamming some U.S. military drones operating in the skies over Syria, seriously affecting American military operations, according to four U.S. officials. The Russians began jamming some smaller U.S. drones several weeks ago, the officials said.
Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., reacted to the news of Russian scrambling Tuesday by saying “Russia wants to undermine our interests at every turn. It is insane to think that Russia is anything but an adversary,” said Sasse.

Duh. This cornhusker struggles to understand the situation. Apparently he’s missed the colorful Haley news lately, with the Russians’ hands covered with blood, and also all the sanctions put on Russia for nothing, etc.. . Insane.. . . That’s what passes for a senator these days.

If the carrier group rotating to the Med arrives 6-11 days from now, OPCW will have eliminated the chemical justification by them. And if the US expects the Donald Cook still to be floating by then, it must mean they’re not planning to launch anything soon.
I can feel the buzz wearing off. Give it a couple days more and everyone will be immensely bored and sneering at the western alliance and their parade of ships.

Syria crisis: Live updates as ‘coalition warplanes spotted flying over Iraqi border’ ahead of possible airstrikes
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/syria-crisis-live-updates-coalition-12341114
Coalition warplanes are reportedly heading towards Syria as Britain appears ready to join the US and France in airstrikes.
Civilian airlines have been asked to clear airspace over Syria for the next 48 hours, according to reports.
And Theresa May has indicated Britain will stand with the US in bringing justice to dictator Bashar al-Assad over the barbaric chemical attack in Douma last weekend that left around 70 dead.
But UK and US forces were said to be gathering to launch a wave of Tomahawk cruise missiles at Assad’s defences.
Eurocontrol said the warning applies for the next 72 hours.
Announcement on US action in Syria ‘imminent’
The US is due to make an announcement on action in Syria shortly, according to reports.
Fox News, President Trump’s favoured network, is reporting live that an update is “imminent”.
RAF crews could be diverted from attacking Islamic State positions in Iraq and Syria to smash Assad’s remaining chemical weapons silos.
Teams flying Tornado bombers will hit large buildings and bunkers with deadly Storm Shadow missiles, capable of smashing into complexes before obliterating them.
They will be accompanied by Typhoon crews capable of providing air-to-air fighter protection against Russian air-crews but also able to launch air-to-ground missiles.
British RAF drones and spy planes will hoover up radio and phone chatter to conduct “battle damage assessment” missions to examine the targets after they are hit.
US Ambassador to Nato Kay Hutchison said she hoped allies like Britain would join with Washington in a “concerted and joint effort” against President Bashar al-Assad.
And a squadron of British special forces – both SAS and SBS – are supporting elite American Delta force soldiers on the ground.”

daily press propaganda briefing from today….
https://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/dpb/2018/04/280339.htm
highlights..
“MS NAUERT: Yes. So this is obviously an interagency process. The United States, through the White House, through the State Department, and others of well – as well, have been having conversations with our allies and partners overseas. Deputy Secretary – pardon me. Acting Secretary John Sullivan spoke on two occasions with Foreign Minister[1] Boris Johnson of the UK yesterday. I believe a readout was provided of that call.
We are looking for a coordinated response, whatever that response might be, to the situation in Syria.”
kinda like the coordinated response over the skripal affair? very good… bozos unite…
ms nauert… “So the United States is convinced and knows that some sort of a chemical weapon was used.”
matt lee question – “QUESTION: The President, though, was pretty clear that there was going to be a price to pay. I mean, he literally said that. Why – since April 6th of last year, when he – when they ordered the missile strikes in Syria, and now – or until this last incident – there have been numerous uses of chemical weapons that have been alleged in Syria. What makes this one hit that threshold that a price has to be paid?
MS NAUERT: I think, Matt, to answer that question, we have to look at the number of attacks that have taken place, the pace, how quickly these attacks are now taking place. This will be the ninth attack using some sort of chemical substance this year alone. It used to be that when attacks would take place the world would stand up and take attention and it has become, in the view of the U.S. Government and many others as well, far too common. So I think it’s taken the world to stand up and say this is unacceptable; this is horrific, and we can’t stand for this anymore.”
on the israel missiles.. it is all about iran, lol. apparently israel is allowed to bomb other countries.. no questions asked..
“QUESTION: Okay. This has to do with Iran. And Israel struck Iranian targets at Syria’s T-4 Airbase on Sunday, which is the second time in as many months. Do you share Israel’s concern about Iran’s presence in Syria?
MS NAUERT: We have talked about this a lot, that Iran supports Hizballah. Iran has sent not only fighters but also equipment into Syria. Iran has been a bad actor in Syria and other parts around the world. They have further destabilized the country of Syria. They have also bolstered the regime of Bashar al-Assad, enabling the regime to be able to commit attacks against innocent civilians, not just in Eastern Ghouta and elsewhere, but around the country as well. Of course we’re absolutely concerned about Iran’s presence or meddling, whether it be through proxies, in the country of Syria.”

@ 60
Matt Lee (AP) is good, but even he won’t ever charge the State Dept with being behind the staging of these fake attacks, obviously fake to anyone with an ounce (milligram?) of sense. If he did, he would no longer be enabled by State to ask the first question and enjoy other perks in these State Dept follies. So it’s a waltz around minor issues, never getting to the basic truth of what’s going on.

Trump orders cruise missile strike against one of 3,297 factions fighting in Syria

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump ordered a Tomahawk cruise military strike against one of the 3,297 factions currently fighting in the Syrian civil war, sources confirmed today.
Just days after the Syrian government, one of the thousands of rebel groups, or al Qaeda terrorists allegedly bombed civilians with chemical weapons, Trump and his military planners launched missiles after mulling options that could potentially punish the perpetrators of such a war crime.
“Everything is on the table,” Trump told reporters onboard Air Force One on Wednesday. “We’re pretty sure it’s Assad who carried out this egregious attack. That’s what my so-called intelligence agencies are telling me. But they told me stuff about Russia, and that was fake news, fake, fake news, so I’m not sure. I don’t know what we’re going to do, but we’re going to do something. Something.”
“I’m not going to tell you what I’m going to do, because we want ISIS to be surprised by a sneak attack,” he added. . .here

Zoologically, equines do not ruminate, so a more proper insult would be “goat”, “sheep”, “wether”. Linguistically, an almost synonymous word “regurgitating” would fit better than “ruminating”, the former is used for slowly thinking about all aspects of a subject and is rather positive, the latter is used for mindless repetition.

We expect that the Russian Federation provides full disclosure of the Novichok Programme to the OPCW. Though currently not a member of the Executive Council my delegation could not agree with the draft decision that was tabled by the Russian Federation. . . .here

IIRC the footage hit the internet within few hours from the ‘incident’.
