Russia will confront any US-led attack on Syria: Webster Tarpley

Israel is apparently laying the groundwork for a possible military attack on Syria by alleging that Damascus could be using chemical weapons against the Syrian people. Tel Aviv has recently expressed concern about what it calls the use of chemical weapons in Syria. Israel says the weapons could fall into the wrong hands and that they may even be used by Syria to carry out an attack against Israeli forces. The pretext is being used to justify a possible military assault on Syria even if it means triggering a broader conflict across the region. Ayoob Kara, a senior member of the Israeli Likud Party led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claimed in an interview with Israel Radio on June 9 that the Syrian government has used "chemical weapons against men, women, and children" during the past months of unrest in the country.


Press TV talks with Dr. Webster Griffin Tarpley, author and historian in Washington, to further shed light on the issue.

Zionism is a self destructive ideology.

I have been watching many of the classic movies of the Cold War era such as 'Dr. Strangelove" and "On the Beach" and "Failsafe"-many of the comments on the You Tube channels praise the movies but say they are outdated-hope they are right.

What about the stock PILE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS that Israels got. Double standard Bull Shit on justifying chemical weapons as a threat,just an excuse to appease the ZIONIST take over of the earth.

Another WAR MONGURING ZIONIST attack supported by an AMERICAN ZIONIST REPUBLICAN CONGRESS to control the worlds oil supply and military dominance over the region. I support Russia on this one. Fed up with the ZIONIST WAR for POWER!

War or Peace? If USA want peace..so..what they are did in Iraq? Libya? and why too much interest in Syria? They want democracy? All the world know what is it - democracy of USA and who want war! And Hillary Rodham Clinton already prove it.

see...IMHO the "status quo" nowadays is like a the USA is a gangster who has gang called NATO, and they rule the world, but some other guys worked out on gym and they think they can also rule the world, but first should defeat OG "USA" and the crew. These so called "mighty thugs" are Iran, Russia etc. If You support them You call for total war!! If You support USA there will be "status quo" maintained and peace everywhere, even in Australia. So You need to choose the War or Peace?

[88Matildaa]

I will not prove something for you! I even don't want talk about Putin and Russia with people who know about my country from outside! Think what you want to think!

I'm Russian and i'm so proud of this and know who is mister Putin, i know how Russia was with Elcin, and i know how it's going on now.

Is it good for You and your nation to be driven to next cold war in the name of Putins arrogant businesses? No I am not russian, and I am very sorry for what You are writing here. Russia has very big ego but very little things would do if any conflicts could happen to it. Nobody in russia will use nukes as a real weapon, so what is left? nothing..poor underpaid army, mass of drunk and dope young people. It is because of Putin and his crew of mafia-kgb-businessmen.Tell me anything new about it.
