The objectives of the bombing
According to the Western version of the story, these bombing attacks were not aimed at overthrowing the Syrian Arab Republic (which they call « Bachar's régime »), but to sanction the use of chemical weapons.
However, no proof of the use of such weapons has been published. Instead, the three allies each broadcast evaluations based on the original video published by the White Helmets [1] - a video which was itself later contradicted by many of the people who appear in it, as well as the personnel of the hospital where it was filmed [2].
On the contrary, we are justified in asking whether the real objective of these raids may indeed have been to overthrow the Republic. This seems to be confirmed by the fact that missiles were fired at the Presidential palace in Damascus. This is also the interpretation by Russia, for whom the real Allied objective was to counter the « success of the Syrian armed forces in the fight to liberate their territory from international terrorism ».
Comment: Which is the main thing we learned from this event, whatever about 'EW weapons'.
It's one thing to speculate, but another to present speculation as fact.
