Taking the World to the Brink of Annihilation<\/a><\/h3>\n

Western neoconservatives and hawks are driving the international situation to increasing tension and danger. Not content with the destruction of Iraq and Libya based on false claims, they are now pressing for a direct US attack on Syria.<\/p>\n

As a dangerous prelude, Israeli jets flying over Lebanese airspace fired missiles<\/a> against the T4\/Tiyas Airbase west of Palmyra.<\/p>\n

This was Predicted<\/strong><\/p>\n

As reported<\/a> at Tass, the Chief of Russia\u2019s General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, predicted the current events almost a month ago. The report from March 13 says, \u201cRussia has hard facts about preparations for staging the use of chemical weapons against civilians by the government forces. After the provocation, the US plans to accuse Syria\u2019s government forces of using chemical weapons \u2026 furnish the so-called \u2018evidence\u2019 \u2026 and Washington plans to deliver a missile and bomb strike against Damascus\u2019 government districts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gerasimov noted that Russian military advisors are staying in the Syrian Defense Ministry\u2019s facilities in Damascus and \u201cin the event of a threat to our military servicemen\u2019s lives, Russia\u2019s Armed Forces will take retaliatory measures to target both the missiles and their delivery vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n

The situation is clearly dangerous with risk of sliding into international conflict and even WW3. If that happens, it would mean the demise of civilization. All of this so that the West can continue supporting the sectarian armed groups seeking to overthrow the Assad government \u2026 in violation of international law and the UN Charter.<\/p>\n
