Warnings from Syrian and Russian intelligence, as well as US war ship movements and an uptick in US funding for the Al Qaeda propaganda firm known as the White Helmets, give these warnings a fair bit of weight.

These warnings are worth taking seriously.<\/p>\n<p>So some people are understandably nervous. The way things are set up now, it is technically possible for the jihadist factions inside Syria and their allied imperialist intelligence and defense agencies to keep targeting civilians with chemical weapons and blaming the Assad government for them until they pull one off that is so outrageous that it enables the mass media to manufacture public support for a full-scale assault on Damascus. This would benefit both the US-centralized empire which <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@caityjohnstone\/the-us-empire-has-been-trying-to-regime-change-syria-since-long-before-2011-40d4e6648d54\">has been plotting regime change in Syria for decades<\/a> and the violent Islamist extremists who seek control of the region. It also creates the very real probability of a direct military confrontation with Syria\u2019s allies, including Russia.<\/p>\n<p>But the appropriate response to the threat of a world war erupting in Syria is not really fear, if you think about it.
