History repeats itself and, sometimes, it doesn’t even need generation gaps to do so. In the modern-day West, it only needs a space of a few days or weeks. This is why the US, UK, and French governments feel so confident in their ability to launch airstrikes against Syria for the third time under the Trump administration on the basis of false chemical weapons claims.

As the Syrian military prepares for perhaps the biggest and most bloody battle of the war – the battle to liberate Idlib – it appears that the West is preparing to make a stand of its own in defense of the head choppers and “moderate” cannibals it has supported since 2011. But while the US has twice used disproven claims of chemical weapons in Syria as a pretext to launch strikes against Syria, both of those strikes were relatively minor in terms of the damage they caused. However, America’s seemingly independent-of-the-executive branch military is already preparing for the possibility of strikes against Syria, having known this moment was coming now for months.

And it is not only the alternative media that is warning of the possibility of strikes. The Russian government is sounding the alarm also.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the US and its allies are preparing new strikes against Syria. The MOD also stated that the terrorists in Idlib are preparing to stage a chemical weapons attack in order to place the blame on the Syrian government and provide a pretext for a Western attack on the country.

The staged attacks are allegedly being prepared by al-Nusra Front (Tahrir al-Sham) in Idlib. The MOD has stated that, in order to stage the attack, around eight canisters of chlorine have been delivered to a village near Jisr al-Shughur city. Another group of terrorists, who have allegedly been trained and prepped by private British security company Olive, have also recently arrived in the area. The group is to be disguised as White Helmets volunteers and will simulate a rescue operation involving locals who will be purportedly injured in the alleged attack.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has warned the US against any further “reckless” moves in Syria. Ryabkov is quoted by RIA Novosti as stating, “We hear ultimatums from Washington, including those made in public,” apparently referencing the remarks of neo-con fop, John Bolton.

“Again, we are witnessing serious escalation of the situation [in Syria],” Ryabkov added.

Bolton, of course, was speaking in Jerusalem before his colleagues in the Israeli government. He stated that the U.S. would respond “very strongly” if the Syrian government used “chemical weapons” in the offensive.

“We now see plans for the Syrian regime to resume offensive military activities in Idlib province,” he said. “We are obviously concerned about the possibility that Assad may use chemical weapons again.”

Bolton warned, “Just so there’s no confusion here, if the Syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly and they really ought to think about this a long time.”

Already, according to Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman, Major General Igor Konashenkov, the USS The Sullivans, an Arleigh Burke-class Aegis guided missile destroyer, was deployed to the Persian Gulf a few days ago. It is possible Konashenkov is reference the recent naval and coast guard exercises which took place between the United State, Kuwait, and Iraq.

The Russian Center For Reconciliation of Opposing Sides In Syria wrote that,

The destroyer USS Sullivans of the US Navy arrived in the Persian Gulf with 56 cruise missiles on board. And at the Al-Udeid Air Bases in Qatar, the strategic bomber B-1B of the US Air Force was redeployed with 24 cruise JASSM air-to-surface missiles. Thus, the West is ready once again to support terrorists and, in violation of all norms of international law, to commit an act of aggression against a sovereign state, which will inevitably cause another sharp deterioration of the situation in the Middle East region and a breakdown in the process of a peaceful settlement of the Syrian conflict.

The Center has previously exposed Western attempts to militarily defend terrorists in Syria.

“The United States keeps building up the cruise missile carriers group in the Middle East as part of preparations for another provocation in Idlib Province to be presented as an alleged use of chemical weapons,” Russian Defense Ministry spokesperson General Igor Konashenkov told reporters.

“These preparations are fresh confirmation of U.S. intentions to use as a pretext a likely simulation of the government forces’ chemical attack, which Hayat Tahrir al-Sham militants are plotting with active support from British secret services,” he added.

In response, the Russian MOD has announced that its own Black Sea Fleet’s Admiral Grigorovich and Admiral Essen Kalibir cruise missile-armed ships were going to make their way to the Mediterranean to “augment the Navy’s task force” already located there.

Furthermore, credible sources in Anbar province have reported an American troop buildup. Independent Iraqi journalist and producer, “Yusra M” reported via twitter that “US forces were deployed in province & hve ordered withdrawl of PMFs from all areas. They hve also asked locals to vacate near Al Qaim,Taji, Ain al Assad & Airport 35, as they officially start to build bases.”

“Witnesses say US planes were heard arriving throughout last night. In Al-Qaim, US airstrikes on borders btwn 11pm-8am “targeting ISIS” or locals believe – Hashd, Hezbollah inside # Syria,” she continued.

“Sources in Tikrit say after US ordered Hashed to withdraw fm Salahuddin, some refused & US began bombing of PMU HQ in Tikrit. Near Hit, US forces r building base & airport near ’35’ & locals report 100s of troops entering.”

“Serious development because highways btwn # Anbar all way to # Mosul were secured by Hashed checkpoints so any retreat will risk regroup of # ISIS.”

“My friend fm Anbar works for local NGOs & always drives up & down fm Haditha, thru Baji & Makhmour mtns to # Mosul & then Erbil. He is Sunni & says he always felt safe thanks to PMU presence, now he stopped taking route, fearing # ISIS attacks,” she added.

In addition to chemicals and training, it seems the terrorists in Idlib have also managed to round up the requisite human stage props. Syrian analyst Afraa Dagher, in her article, “White Helmets Expands its Idlib Kidnapping Campaign,” the Idlib terrorists are hard at work kidnapping men, women, and children to be used as victims (real or staged) in the next false flag chemical weapons attack that will be used by the West as a justification to launch yet more missiles at the Syrian government. Dagher writes,

White Helmets campaign of ‘fake arresting,’ of kidnapping in Idlib continues and expands. During the last ten days, reputable media sources have exposed the mass kidnapping campaign led by al-Nusra Front and other designated terrorist gangs in Idlib. These al Qaeda gangs have mostly engaged in abductions of men, especially young men, under the pretext that they plan to join the Reconciliation Process led by the Syrian government. Local sources in Idlib are also telling about the probability of using the abductees — reported as 1,000 Syrians — as victims for an upcoming staged chemical attack. This evil campaign has expanded to also kidnapping dozens of Syrian children from Idlib and from neighboring villages, by the same terrorist gangs, including the White Helmets.



Brave - The Browser Built for Privacy Three children who belong to one family in Termin, a village in the countryside of Aleppo were kidnapped together. Other children were kidnapped from Zerba village and the Qah camp of internally displaced Syrians at the border with Turkey. Meanwhile, the remnants of the White Helmets (many of them were illegally transported by Israel into Jordan, and are being spread throughout western countries such as Germany and Canada) have called its membership to be concentrated in specific areas of Idlib, where they plan to record their murders in the new round of a chemical hoax. British ‘experts’ from the mercenary corporation, Olive, have illegally entered Syria and are in the region to train the al-Qaeda White Helmets in another fraudulent rescue play, performed to convince public opinion to believe the fabricated attacks that they plot. Their slaughter is real. They are the perpetrators of these mass murders. . . . . . The four Syrian children in the featured photograph were provided by MP Fares Shehabi , who tweeted Urgent: These kids were among many kidnapped by the White Helmets in the town of Zirbeh west of Aleppo to be used as victims in the upcoming chemical hoax. We hold the leaders of US/UK/France directly responsible for their safety.

While the United States had previously waited for the alleged chemical attacks to take place and be plastered across the screens of a gullible Western public, it seems imperialists are not waiting for the play to start. They are instead preparing the audience for a strike against the Syrian government before the “event” even takes place.

In the coming days and weeks, the eyes of the entire world will be fixed on Syria. It is almost a foregone conclusion that the West’s terrorist pets will attempt to stage a false flag chemical weapons attack in order to justify a Western attack on Syria. Statements coming out of the United States and France have all but ensured it.
