\u201cThat has to be, in the history of propaganda in the 20th and 21st centuries, one of the most outrageous claims that I can think of,\u201d John\u00a0Bolton stated\u00a0<\/em>in response to Moscow’s charge that anti-Assad insurgents in Idlib are preparing a chemical false flag in order to hasten a US attack on Damascus, according to a new\u00a0Wall Street Journal\u00a0<\/em>report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlong with the United States and France, we have been clear that we will respond swiftly and appropriately<\/strong> if the Assad regime repeats its appalling use of chemical weapons,\u201d he vowed, echoing statements the national security advisor began making weeks ago<\/a> during a trip to Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0WSJ\u00a0<\/em>has revealed the White House is now in direct talks with the U.K. and France over plans for a possible third round of coordinated strikes on Syria<\/strong>should the Syrian Army use chemical weapons during its Idlib assault.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a speech in Washington on Monday, Bolton told reporters,\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019ve been in consultation with the British and the French, who joined us in the second strike, and they also agree that another use of chemical weapons will result in a much stronger response.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The news comes a day after Bolton\u00a0indicated during a speech<\/a> that the US and its allies\u00a0Syria\u00a0would respond\u00a0with\u00a0much “stronger” and harsher\u00a0<\/em>action against Damascus.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, early this week there were\u00a0reports<\/a> that Germany is mulling over whether to agree to a request by the United States that it join any potential strikes on Syria, though such a move is expected to be too politically divisive for Germany to agree.<\/p>\n
