European Union governments agreed on Friday to ban the export of jet fuel to Syria from Sunday, saying it was being used by the Syrian air force for indiscriminate attacks against civilians.As has become the norm for the 'European Union governments,' they all agreed on something that has no basis in reality. There is actually no proof that the Syrian Air Force is targeting civilians. Are we supposed to believe that amid fighting foreign backed insurgents, the Syrian government decided to take a break and bomb their own people? For what purpose? To justify further intervention from the U.S. and their coalition of the guilty? Should we forget that the U.S. has a long history of fabricating atrocities just for that purpose? Just last year we had the alleged chemical weapons attack which nearly lead to another U.S. sponsored 'humanitarian bombing' if it weren't for Russia. The claims that 'Assad gassed his own people' turned out to be fictitious as are those that he is now bombing civilians.
Mainstream media propaganda aside, there is plenty of evidence that the U.S. air strikes are targeting civilians. Here are a few reports from SOTT.
- "Successful" US-led bombing in Syria: Only civilians were among the dead
- At least 10 civilians, including children, killed by U.S.-led airstrikes in Syria
- 'Hooray! We're finally slaughtering Syrians directly!' U.S. airstrikes kill 5 civilians in Syria
- Freedom: U.S. airstrikes in Syria bomb grain silos killing civilians and destroying food
By their actions we can see that it's not the civilians that the EU stooges worry about, but pleasing their masters in U.S. who care about nothing but "degrading, disrupting and destroying" Syria using a proxy-terrorist force of their own creation.
In 2013 policymakers from the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) published an article which points out to a possible motive behind the United States/EU decision to ban the export of jet fuel to Syria.
Syria is not Libya. Bashar Assad's troops are well armed, and his ground forces are waging successful campaigns against rebel forces across the country. But eliminating Assad's ability to take to the air and tilting the balance of power in favor of anti-Assad rebels - as the United States and its allies did with the fighters who eventually overthrew Moammar Gadhafi - is both achievable and advisable.
Then I guess it'll be up to Russia to supply Syria with jet fuel.
Which I am sure will happen.
