Hitler claimed that Polish forces had crossed the frontier and attacked Germany. That is the excuse used by Israel and its puppets in the White House and Pentagon that blames Iran for Israel\u2019s attack on Syria. When Washington and Israel are shameless in their lies, why does Russia think they are \u201cpartners\u201d with whom agreements can be reached?<\/p>\n<p>Eric Zuesse notes that only Syria and Russia complain about Washington\u2019s illegal occupation of Syrian territory, an occupation that has no UN authorization and is a complete and total violation of international law, and Israel\u2019s continual attacks on Syria. Washington\u2019s continuing support for war against the legitimate government of Syria and support for Israeli and terrorist attacks on Syrian and Russian forces are undermining Russia\u2019s efforts to bring peace to the region. Zuesse also notes that Washington and its UK puppet block all UN action against Washington\u2019s illegality. <a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/editorials\/u-s-not-globally-condemned-military-occupation-syria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/editorials\/u-s-not-globally-condemned-military-occupation-syria\/ <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Zuesse is correct. But is the continuation of Washington\u2019s campaign against Syria and Russia largely the fault of Russia? Stephen Lendman makes a case that it is Russia\u2019s fault. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/russia-blasts-us-attack-on-syrian-and-allied-forces\/5628740\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/russia-blasts-us-attack-on-syrian-and-allied-forces\/5628740<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia In the Crosshairs Defending the latest round of US\/Israeli aggression against Syria, US State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert struck a Hitlerian note when she blamed Syria and Iran for an act of overt Israeli aggression, saying \u201cThe United States . . . strongly supports Israel\u2019s sovereign right to defend itself,\u201d and when she lied [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[1458,3215,1049,2864,1426,2951,620,1046,655,694,776,822,826,827,2344,862,865,877],"class_list":["post-30882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-geopolitics","tag-hitler","tag-invasion","tag-israel","tag-lies","tag-misinformation","tag-paul-craig-roberts","tag-pentagon","tag-poland","tag-propaganda","tag-russia","tag-syria","tag-un","tag-united-nations","tag-united-states","tag-us-state-department","tag-war","tag-washington","tag-white-house"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30882"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30882\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30883,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30882\/revisions\/30883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
