    Two years from now there is going to be a big attack in a war-torn country that will kill hundreds. Just saying: You saw it here first so it's gotta be a setup!

    Is there not attacks that kill hundreds fairly regularly?

    The Syrian war is entering its final stage. Idlib operation is to commence soon. This the last chance for the Jihadists. The Russians have massed a huge fleet of 24 warships of the coast of Syria it's a massive build-up of firepower. Another time this be headline news. Major powers are preparing potentially to intervene in the war and go head to head. Russia is giving warns to the US to not intervene.

    According to the Russian ministry of defence, British operatives arrived in Syria and supplied the jihadists with chemical weapons to use and then blame it on Assad. US allies will then have an excuse to attack Assad forces and Iran forces in Syria.

    If the Russian ministry claims it, then it must be true?

    Assad winning the war I believe it. If jihadists claim another chemical attack you know whats going on. Assad has the advantage the war is over. The US and its allies know the end game is near so they are desperate.

    US foreign policy is decided by Israel anyhow and you know they to do almost anything to stop Iran influence over Syria.

    I'll turn it into a question, do you automatically believe everything the Russian foreign ministry claims?

    No, I don't. But US and allies are backing jihadists in Syria. Assad might be a dictator but his not a savage jihadist who chops off heads. Do you think jihadists are moderate rebels? They likely kill you if you met them. We think Assad is a bad guy for fighting back again these killers is insane.

    When did Al Qaeda suddenly because US and British allies? Or as I suspect they always were. It strange how this group just disappeared and don't attack the west anymore.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,531 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe


    No, I don't.

    Good, that's all I wanted to know, it's good to be skeptical

    They disappeared because all the nutjobs that wanted to attack the west joined ISIS. Al Qaeda are trying to distance themselves from ISIS and the two are in effect at war with each other.

    Saudi Arabia just moved its assets to Syria and Yemen. ISIS is just another group funded by Saudi Arabia.

    They had a professor on MSBC recently who let out the truth. Jimmy Dore who I don't often agree with went through this interview. How he got on there is a mystery, he slipped through the cracks.

    He exposed the CIA and Saudi Arabia was behind the Syrian revolution.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,531 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe



    He exposed

    He expressed an opinion

    There are a lot of opinions on e.g. Syria from politicians, economists, political scientists, etc

    Every once in awhile one of them says something that can be construed (or misconstrued) as supporting the classic fringe/conspiracy narrative - and these opinions get hailed as "the real truth"

    Syria and Russia allegedly got some video the White Helmets had staging a false flag attack in the Idlib province? Russian has called off the Idlib offensive for now.

    But why did the white helmets put a banner on top saying "Staged footage"? That makes no sense.

    They didn't. The Russians and Syrians put in on there to let people know this is staged footage.

    Are you suggesting that it's doctored? Why would the Russians do that?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭Cheerful Spring

    It is staged footage. They letting people know this not real. You know what the internet is like if you didn't tell them!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,995 ✭✭✭Ipso


    You know what the internet is like, even when you do tell them.

    I know it's a crazy idea, but. What about the distinct possibility that these staged videos are in fact, staged videos themselves.

    There's just as good a chance that Russia/Syria themselves created these videos to make it seem like the events happening are being faked.

    It could well be. Russia has always been pushing "it's staged", "it's fake", "it's false flag" type disinfo for years. In this case, the Russians being able to predict a staged false flag does seem a bit suspicious.

    They also claimed the invasion annexation of Crimea wasn't happening, despite all those Russian tanks and soldiers.

    And that there were no Russian soldiers in Eastern Ukraine, but if there were, they were "on holiday".. fully armed.. with modern tanks

    Yeah. It's just a policy of lying with a straight face. It's a fairly old Russian concept called vranyo.

    It's basically:

    "I'm lying. You know I'm lying. I know that you know that I'm lying but I'm going to do it anyway."

    Russia had an army/naval base in Crimea pre-coup. Crimea had special status even before then. You can't invade if you already there.

    Possible. Russia and Syria don't gain much strategically using these weapons though.

    When Syria took over Ghouta they found chemical weapon labs that were clearly owned by jihadists. The lab equipment was supplied by Saudis.

    It can't be too long now before 'something' will happen in Syria.
    British state run television tonight (Oct 15) is preparing the masses with anti-Syria propaganda, first a Panorama 'documentary' at 8.30 and then something called the House of Assad at 11.30. As I said, it can't be too long now.

    I have a feeling nothing will happen now Elmer the operation in Idlib is called off?

    I don't trust Jihadists I believe they have carried out chemical attacks.

    I have to be honest though I not sure if you can truly trust the Russian statements no chemical weapons were used by the Syrian government? They used a nerve agent in the UK and pretended it never happened.

    So the Syrian government defeats jihadist mercenaries in Ghouta, allows them to leave on buses and then decides to carry out a 'chemical attack'?
    Right ... :rolleyes:

    That never happened, I agree with you was staged.

    We can't say for sure though Syrian government never used chemical weapons against Jihadist strongholds? I just more open this has happened as Russia has shown itself it will lie about chemical weapons.

    You have to accept it Russia spies tried to kill Skipral?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 538 ✭✭✭cuppa


    Seen this a last week, about how using chemicals helped Assad.

    "A joint investigation by BBC Panorama and BBC Arabic shows for the first time the extent to which chemical weapons have been crucial to his war-winning strategy."
