The destruction of Syria is 'vital to Saudi-Israeli hegemonic interests'

A political commentator based in Paris said the Zionist regimes of Israel and Saudi Arabia are seeking to destroy Syria in an attempt to serve their "hegemonic interests in the region".

Tasnim: Multiple places in Syria came under attack by US, British and French military forces after President Donald Trump ordered a military strike against the war-torn country last week over the alleged use of chemical weapons by Damascus in Douma. What is your take on the attack?

Gearoid Ó Colmáin: The attack (in Douma) was clearly a false flag operation. It was undertaken by the White Helmets in coordination with British and American and Israeli intelligence agencies. The goal was simply to create the pretext for the bombing. President Trump had stated that he wished to disengage from Syria. Israel was not happy with that decision as they want America to fight their Middle Eastern wars and the war in Syria is, and always has been, a proxy war started by Israel to destroy Iran's most important regional ally, the Syrian Arab Republic.

South Korea has turned off its speakers broadcasting propaganda across the border to North Korea for the first time in two years in the lead up to a historic summit between the two countries.

The speakers blast radio shows, pop music and criticism of Pyongyang towards North Korea in a bid to influence their northern neighbors. The broadcasts also include details of defectors who escape the north. North Korea also has its own propaganda broadcasts, which include praise for leader Kim Jong-un and North Korean songs.

South Korea's defence ministry spokesperson Choi Hyun-soo said the speakers stopped broadcasting from midnight Sunday. "We hope that our move today will result in South and North Korea ending mutual slandering and propaganda against each other and creating a peaceful new beginning." she said.

Russian prank call captures OPCW director on tape admitting chemical used against Skripals could have been made anywhere

If the audio is authenticated, the phone call will put another dent in London's claim that the A234 chemical agent known in Western countries as Novichok, was Russian-made.

Vladimir 'Vovan' Kuznetsov and Alexei 'Lexus' Stolyarov, the pair of Russian telephone pranksters well-known for their constant trolling of Western officials, have put out an audio recording of what they say is their conversation with Ahmet Uzumcu, the director general of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

Posing as Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, the pranksters got the man in the tape to admit that the nerve agent used to poison Russian ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia could have been made anywhere, and to point out that the British government never gave the OPCW the mandate to trace the source of the chemical.

Merkel warns Germany of 'new kind of anti-Semitism' coming from refugees and 'people of Arab origin'

In an interview with Israeli TV, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, much-maligned for her open-door immigration policy, has said Germany is facing a new form of anti-Semitism from refugees and people of Arab origin.

"We now have another phenomenon, as we have refugees or people of Arab origin who bring another form of anti-Semitism into the country," Merkel told the Channel 10 network in a broadcast on Sunday, as cited by Die Welt.

No Jewish nursery, no school, and no synagogue can be left without police protection, the German chancellor said. "This dismays us," she noted, adding that the German government has appointed a commissioner to fight against anti-Semitism.

Ramzan Kadyrov has dismissed the allegations of human rights violations in Chechnya made by the acting US secretary of state, saying that the situation in the republic is "significantly better" than in America.

"[Acting US Secretary of State] John Sullivan has called upon everyone to pay attention to the impunity of human rights abuses in Chechnya," the head of the Chechen Republic wrote on Telegram. "With all responsibility, I am telling Mr. Sullivan that his statement of human rights violations in Chechnya contains not a small part of truth. This applies also to the part about the alleged impunity. As far as fundamental human rights are concerned, the situation in Chechnya is significantly better than the one in the United States of America."

Lavrov: Macron shows 'colonial position' by calling on US to stay in Syria

French President Emmanuel Macron's plea for the US to maintain a military presence in Syria, even after the terrorist threat has been eliminated, is similar to colonialism, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov believes.

"I heard that French President Emmanuel Macron had recently called on the United States not to withdraw from Syria even when the last terrorist would be killed or expelled from the country.... This is some kind of colonial position," Russia's top diplomat said in China on Monday.

Earlier this month, right after Paris joined US and UK airstrikes against Syria, Macron claimed he convinced his US counterpart Donald Trump that it was "necessary" to extend American troop deployments to Syria. This contradicted Trump's earlier call to pull out from the country as soon as possible.

Trump's visit to Merkel, Macron will tell the future of Europe

Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron

The nominal U.S. President, Donald Trump, will meet with the two main European leaders next week with the goal of pushing the President off his position to end the Iran Nuclear Deal, or JCPOA. But it is the bigger issues of energy security that will be the real focus.

From soy-boy Emmanuel Macron of France to the Gelded One of Germany, Angela Merkel, putting the European Union back in its place is one of the few things that Trump may still be able to affect the trajectory of when it comes to foreign policy.

He has no control over Syria, having ceded his authority to the neoconservative crazies who have been wrong about everything since the fall of the Soviet Union. I also don't think he has much control over negotiations with North Korea.

How the United States betrayed Russia and shamed the West

The conditionality of the Soviet Union's agreement to allow East Germany to be taken by West Germany and for the Cold War to end, was that NATO would not expand «one inch to the east». This was the agreement that was approved by the Russian President of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, a great man and a subsequent hero to democrats around the world.

He agreed then to end the Soviet Union and abandon communism and thus to end the entire Cold War; he agreed to this because he had been promised that NATO would expand not «one inch to the east,» or «one inch eastward,» depending upon how the promise was translated and understood - but it has the same meaning, no matter how it was translated. He trusted American President George Herbert Walker Bush, whose friend and Secretary of State James Baker made this promise to Gorbachev. With this promise, Gorbachev agreed to end the Soviet Union; end the communist mutual-defense pact which was their own equivalent of NATO, the Warsaw Pact; and he believed that the remaining nation that he would then be leading, which was Russia, would be accepted as a Western democracy.

The Israeli armed forces launched an attack after a mortar shell fell next to a security fence in the north of the Israel-held Golan Heights.

"In response, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) targeted one artillery piece in the area from which the fire originated, in the northern Syrian Golan Heights," the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said in a Twitter statement on Monday.

An IDF spokesperson refused to comment on what kind of weapons Israel used in response, saying only that "the Syrian regime" will be held accountable and that any attempts to "breach Israeli sovereignty or endanger civilians" will be thwarted.

Comment: An Israeli missile strike targeted a position for the Syrian Army in al-Kom town near the Occupied Golan Heights as the government forces crackdown on jihadi groups in the area.

According to a military source, the strike hit an artillery position in the bordering town but no casualties reported.

The Israeli aggression comes as the Syrian Army has been targeting Islamist militants in Al-Hamidiyah and al-Qahtaniyah towns. The bordering area between Syria and the Golan Heights are controlled by ultra-conservative Islamist groups whose members repeatedly receive medical treatment in Israel.

Israel has attacked Syria with a missile strike targeting a position for the Syrian Arab Army in al-Kom, a town near the Occupied Golan Heights.

This comes as the government forces crackdown on ISIS and related jihadi groups in the area. Israel's history of supporting ISIS has been documented by Atlanticist press as well. "Israel 'giving secret aid to Syrian rebels', report says. Direct funding, food, fuel and medical supplies allegedly provided by Israeli state to keep Isis and Iranian-allied forces in neighbouring civil war at bay ", according to the report covered by the Independent.

Today's strikes represent what could be moves of desperation on the part of the Zionist entity, and generally are meant to test the geopolitical waters.

Ex-CIA mole tells RT Russia had no interest in Skripal, UK hiding spy & daughter to stop them talking

Police officers arrive in the area around The Mill public house, which had been visited by Sergei Skripal, in Salisbury, UK, on April 4, 2018.

The UK security services are most likely hiding the Skripals as they do not want them to reveal any details about their case, former Czech spy Karel Koecher told RT's Sophie Shevardnadze.

"[Former Russian double agent Sergei] Skripal most definitely wasn't a victim of any kind of operation or attack from the Russian side," said Koecher, who was a Soviet mole who successfully penetrated the CIA. He went on to say that "as far as Russia is concerned, and I honestly believe it, they had absolutely no interest in Skripal at all," adding that the mere fact that Moscow had previously agreed to swap him for Russian agents was evidence of that.
