During a press conference, RT’s Caleb Maupin asked US Sate Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert if US stories about an ‘imminent chemical weapons attack’ will bait terrorist groups into staging one themselves.
Her answer was both arrogant, flippant and factually incorrect as Mr. Maupin pointed out, even as Nauert tried to shut him up.
It has to be seen to be believed.
(ANTIMEDIA Op-Ed) — On Sunday, German newspaper Die Welt published an investigation by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh into Donald Trump’s decision to strike the Syrian government in April of this year following allegations that Bashar al-Assad’s military had committed a chemical weapons attack.

Here we go again… “US warns Syria over ‘potential’ plan for chemical attack” was the dramatic news headline which greeted me when I checked out the BBC News website first thing Tuesday morning, June 26.
(ANTIWAR.COM) — Monday night’s out-of-nowhere statement from the White House, claiming a Syrian chemical weapon attack was imminent and promising to make Syria pay a heavy price must’ve been successful, Secretary of Defense James Mattis reasoned, since no chemical attack happened after all.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has just wrapped up a press conference with German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel.
When asked about Russia’s response to aggressive statements form the US saying that Syria is planning to use chemical weapons and that the US intends to respond with heavy military retribution to an event which has not happened and objectively could not happen, Lavrov responded in the following way,
“We will react with dignity, proportionally to the real situation that may develop”.
The White House claims that the Syrian government is preparing "chemical weapon attacks". This is clearly not the case. Syria is winning the war against the country. Any such attack would clearly be to its disadvantage. The White House announcement must thereby be understood as preparation for another U.S. attack on Syria in "retaliation" for an upcoming staged "chemical weapon attack" which will be blamed on the Syrian government.
More trouble for Trump and Co. Turns out the alleged ‘Sarin’ chemical attack in Idlib, Syria in April never happened. Looks like someone hacked the UK Parliament, but it’s hard to know who, so Theresa May’s government decided to just blame the Russians. Michael Fallon’s circus roadshow continues as the UK’s flagship ‘state of the art’ aircraft carrier is running on… Windows XP.
(ANTIWAR.COM) — Last night, White House issued a surprise statement accusing the Syrian government of preparing a chemical weapons attack and threatening to make them pay “a heavy price” for doing so. This immediately suggested another US attack on Syria was imminent. No one saw this coming, including the Pentagon and the State Department.
