What just happened in Syria?
The day before an important peace talk, titled “Syria – Six Years On: From Destruction to Reconstruction,” which was dismissed as a “pro-Assad” event, something happened. Just when things were going well for Assad, stability was shattered when he was blamed for a chemical attack that allegedly killed about 70 people.
As if the US and their mainstream media knew this was going to happen, the Trump Administration was quick to unleash about 60 Tomahawk missiles on Syria, one of the most bold acts of aggression ever used against Assad’s regime.
Does it make strategic sense for Assad to randomly kill his own people in an obscene way the day before an important peace talk? Like the last chemical attack he was blamed for, it doesn’t make sense. It would make sense if this was a false flag to justify aggression against Syria, to state the obvious.
What makes even less sense is the selective empathy and even deeper apathy of average Americans, and many people in the West. Not everyone is apathetic though: many people are very vocally calling bullshit on Assad being behind this.
But both the apathetic and those who try to understand what’s going on truly can’t fathom the horror of war without seeing it in person. Without personally bearing witness to drone strikes and attacks on civilians, it can’t be understood to much depth.
