UPDATED with news of a Security Council Meeting at the request of the US and SycophantsSaint Trump is such a Sinner! Flashback Trump's Presidency: A Dangerous DeceptionI'd saved a round up of news article this morning and am posting them below: US State Department- On the Chemical Attack in Douma
Press StatementHeather NauertDepartment SpokespersonWashington, DCApril 7, 2018We continue to closely follow disturbing reports on April 7 regarding another alleged chemical weapons attack, this time targeting a hospital in Douma, Syria. Reports from a number of contacts and medical personnel on the ground indicate a potentially high number of casualties, including among families hiding in shelters. These reports, if confirmed, are horrifying and demand an immediate response by the international community.The United States continues to use all efforts available to hold those who use chemical weapons, in Syria and otherwise, accountable. The regime’s history of using chemical weapons against its own people is not in dispute, and in fact nearly one year ago on April 4, 2017, Assad’s forces conducted a sarin gas attack on Khan Sheikhoun, which killed approximately 100 Syrians.The Assad regime and its backers must be held accountable and any further attacks prevented immediately. Russia, with its unwavering support for the regime, ultimately bears responsibility for these brutal attacks, targeting of countless civilians, and the suffocation of Syria’s most vulnerable communities with chemical weapons. By shielding its ally Syria, Russia has breached its commitments to the United Nations as a framework guarantor. It has betrayed the Chemical Weapons Convention and UN Security Council Resolution 2118. Russia’s protection of the Assad regime and failure to stop the use of chemical weapons in Syria calls into question its commitment to resolving the overall crisis and to larger non-proliferation priorities.The United States calls on Russia to end this unmitigated support immediately and work with the international community to prevent further, barbaric chemical weapons attacks.
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump on Sunday warned of a "big price" after reports of a chemical weapons attack in Syria almost a year to the day since the US struck a Syrian air field."Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria," Trump tweeted. "Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price..."He continued, "....to pay. Open area immediately for medical help and verification. Another humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever. SICK!"
"Animal Assad" that's a meme bomb that will be exploding all over the place- rolls eyesTASS
Russian Defense Ministry refutes reports that Syrian forces use chemical weapons in DoumaThe general noted that the West used the allegations on chemical attacks to disrupt an operation on evacuating from Douma irreconcilable militantsMOSCOW, April 8. /TASS/. Russia’s Defense Ministry refuted reports on Sunday that the Syrian forces have used chemical weapons in Douma in Eastern Ghouta, Head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Warring Sides in Syria Major General Yuri Yevtushenko said.According to the general, the allegations that a chlorine barrel bomb had been dropped in Douma by the Syrian armed forces were the work of the so-called independent non-governmental organizations, including the White Helmets, which is widely known for its fake news."We strongly reject this information and confirm readiness after Douma is liberated from militants to send Russian specialists in radiation, chemical and biological protection to collect data to confirm that these statements are fabricated," said the head of the center, which is part of the Defense Ministry.The general noted that the West used the allegations on chemical attacks to disrupt an operation beginning on Sunday on evacuating from Douma irreconcilable militants of the Jaysh al-Islam group. On Saturday, news broke that they resumed fighting against the government forces.
The Al-Wafideen humanitarian corridor, which is used for a safe exit from Douma, continues operation, he noted.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Syrian government and the Jaysh al-Islam militants have reached an agreement on the release of all prisoners in exchange for providing a safe exit for militants to the city of Jarabulus, the Syrian state media reported Sunday.The Syrian state TV reported citing an unnamed source that Jaysh al-Islam fighters will leave Douma for the northern city of Jarablus within 48 hours. A source in security sources also said that two groups of Jaysh al-Islam will leave Douma in the coming hours."An agreement on the liberation of all prisoners by the two groups has also been reached. The first group will leave in the next few hours," the source said.
UPDATE # 2: Jaysh al Islam is NOT going to Jarabulus- This is the area Turkey liberated from ISIS to use as a block for Israel 2.0 aka Kurdistan. It's highly unlikely Jaysh Al Islam was ever headed for Jarabulus. They were always going to be sent to Idlib and that's where they are indeed being sent!
Turkey has rejected Russia’s offer to evacuate Jaysh Al-Islam’s fighters from the East Ghouta town of Douma to the Aleppo border-city of Jarabulus, a military source told Al-Masdar News this evening.
According to the source, Turkey informed their Russian counterparts that their forces would not allow Jaysh Al-Islam fighters to enter Jarabulus. In response to Turkey’s refusal, Jaysh Al-Islam has requested to Russia to be transported to the Jabal Al-Zawiya region in Idlib’s southwestern countryside.
I expect a great many of them will end up dead.The Israeli media is employing extremely provocative headlines- No surprise there! Keep in mind there is no proof that this incident occurred as claimed..Keep in mind that it’s always trial by media. In the court of perception management.
- Why did Assad use chemical weapons? Because he can
- Defense minister: Israel will likely have to go it alone on Syria
"Israel will likely have to handle the threats on its northern border, including from Syria, on its own, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said on Sunday morning"
UPDATE # 1: Reuters
The United Nations Security Council is likely to meet Monday afternoon over the recent chemical attack in Syria at the request of the United States and several other members, diplomats said on Sunday.
“UK, France, US, Poland, Netherlands, Sweden, Kuwait, Peru and Cote d’Ivoire have called an emergency meeting of #UNSC to discuss reports of chemical weapons attack in #Syria. Meeting expected on Monday,” the British mission to the United Nations tweeted. From Yesterday as this news broke
Remember when this alleged attack was reported there were zero claims of casualties- Then the spin went wild!
Neither the rebel group nor the Observatory mentioned any deaths.
