So this is quite interesting. Out of nowhere Russia suggested that instead of attacking Syria, the international community should take control of Syria’s chemical weapons. Obama didn’t mind that. Neither does Syria, it seems..
One week ago today there was an alleged chemical attack in Syria that killed over 1,300 civilians, outside the capital of Damascus. These alleged attacks have been called a “moral obscenity” by US secretary of state, John Kerry, and president Obama has ordered the release of a document justifying a military strike against Syrian military installations.
The US and Turkey seem to have had enough of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime and have begun their first “operational planning” meeting aimed at bringing about its demise. They are plotting for all eventualities, even a chemical attack in Damascus which Washington has called a “red line”.
Though Syria claimed yesterday that they would never use chemical or bilogical weapons against their own, they did acknowledge they have a bunch of chemical and biological weapons, and would use them against external forces if they have to.
