The world has been alarmed by the very real possibility of a direct military confrontation between the United States and Russia. Syria is where the current tensions are highest, and where missiles have been fired, but the hostility is deep-seated on a number of fronts, which is why facts on these issues matter.
As attention seemed to rapidly wane concerning the US air and missile strikes in Syria, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made a stunning announcement, saying that the samples of the nerve agent used on Sergey and Yulia Skripal was not a Novichok agent, but in fact something that NATO codenamed “BZ.” This is a major statement because of what BZ actually is, and what Novichok agents are understood to be.
With Russian forces operating in Syria, American military operations could jeopardize global security, according to the Russian Ambassador to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya. Additionally, the Kremlin has intelligence that indicates that militant radicals on the ground in Syria have orders to initiate an offensive following US military action.
Brian Heiss joins me today for another in-depth discussion discussion. We start off by touching on the recent gas attack in Syria and the bellicose rhetoric coming out of Washington. Brian and I discuss our issues with the claims that this was launched by Assad. We also talk about the Skirpal case and the recent appointment of John Bolton to National Security Adviser. Brian and I than turn out attention to Kurt Eichenwald, Justin Berry, and the child pornography scandal they were involved in.
One month ago we were told that ‘Novichok’ was the deadliest nerve agent known to man. Apparently, not anymore.
British journalist and broadcaster Neil Clark who has been following this story from the onset, describes the back peddling, side-stepping and general chicanery unfolding in the wake of last week’s embarrassing Porton Down admission.
The latest UK ‘intelligence’ claims that somehow Syria was involved in the supposed “Novichok” in Salisbury on March 4th. This incredible epiphany comes at the exact time when the US and UK are trying to convince the public that the Syrian government launched a “chemical attack” against its own people in Damascus.

“After weeks of media hysterics and official claims without a shred of evidence, the case that Russia was behind the Salisbury poisoning incident is falling apart. Transparency and the rule of law never played a role. It always has been about politics and a pernicious agenda. What happens next sadly is only too predictable.”
CrossTalking with host Peter Lavelle are guests Marcus Papadopoulos, Alexander Nekrassov, and 21WIRE’s Patrick Henningsen. Watch:
What is behind the UK and US fearmongering campaign against Russia? The UK and its leader Theresa May have told the world that the Kremlin is responsible for the Salisbury event, and the British and US press seem to have automatically fallen in line with the official government conspiracy theory. Is there more than just classic NATO geopolitics involved, or is it about economics? Is there a clear answer?
Last night, an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council took place in New York to address the current diplomatic crisis over the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury, England.
Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, took the floor and proceeded to completely dismantled the entire British narrative regarding this scandal.
