Idiotic Nikki Haley After Syrian Gas Attack: How Many Children 'Have to Die Before Russia Cares?'
Here it comes again. As the enemies of peace continue to pressure a new US President into deeper war commitments overseas, and as Washington's Deep State works relentlessly opposing Russian moves in Syria at every turn, the war drums have started again - beating harder than ever now, clamouring for a new US-led attack on Syria. This morning we saw the familiar theme emerge, and just in time to provide a convenient backdrop to this week's Brussels' 'Peace Talks' and conference on "Syria's Future".

The US-led 'Coalition' prepares to make its end-run into Syria to 'Retake Raqqa,' and impose its Safe Zones in order to partition Syria, more media demonization of the Syrian government appears to be needed by the West.

On cue, the multi-billion dollar US and UK media machines sprung into overdrive this morning over reports based primarily from their own 'activist' media outlets. Aleppo Media Center and others embedded in the Al Nusra-dominated terrorist stronghold of Idlib, Syria, alongside their media counterpart the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) funded by the UK and EU, are all now claiming that the Syrian and Russian Airforces have launched a chemical weapons airstrike killing civilians in Idlib.

St. Petersburg terror attack is nothing new: Putin's decades-long battle against Islamic State (VIDEO)

In light of the St Petersburg terror attack on April 3rd, 2017 - it is important to recap the severity of Russia's experience with international terrorism, funded from abroad. The perception of Western audiences is often that the Islamic State has spontaneously emerged, and only in recent years. This is incorrect and has been an element of a deliberate and strategic foreign policy tool a number of decades. Ironically - few countries, outside the Middle East, are as familiar with the cruelty of an 'Islamic Calipahate' as Russia, having battled two civil wars on the territory of the North Caucasus in the 1990s. The bloodshed did not end there, with many a terrorist attack on Russian cities throughout the 2000s, and the despicably cruel hostage crisis on a school in Beslan in 2004.

What is more shocking, however, is that Western media often justifies such actions on behalf of the rebels against civilians, blaming the "Putin regime" for atrocities against them. In this compilation of videos, Putin explains his understanding of the fundamentalist agenda, their funding and their end goal.

The Russian campaign in Syria in 2015 took place on the verge of a 'Caliphate' forming there - the continuation of a very bloody and ongoing struggle against this form of modern day fascism.


Comment: The following video contains a number of very nuanced and thoughtful responses from Putin on the subject of terror attacks against Russia. If more Westerners understood how much energy and attention Russia has and does put towards truly and effectively fighting terrorism - and in such a measured way as they do, Westerners would have a whole different appreciation of how negligent and complicit many of their own governments are in maintaining a hell on earth. A good comparison between Russia and the US/UK/France/Germany, etc. simply cannot be allowed.

OPEC's No.2 goes rogue: Iraq plans 600,000 bpd oil output increase

Iraq has plans to boost its crude oil production by 600,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 5 million bpd by the end of this year, regardless of its participation in OPEC's production cut deal.

Iraq is the cartel's second-biggest exporter of crude and has been the most disinclined of all parties to the agreement since its inception, with a lot of observers expecting it to be the first one to cheat.

Iraq's first problem is that as much as 95 percent of its budget revenues come from crude oil. There are no viable alternatives in sight for revenues at the moment. The second problem that the country has to contend with is its war with Islamic State, which makes these revenues more important than ever.

Rasha Atamny, a 31-year-old Palestinian born in a small Arab town, has been appointed Israel's first secretary at its Turkish embassy in Ankara, the first time the country has sent a Muslim woman to represent it abroad.

Atamny will occupy a senior post at a mission responsible for nurturing one of the country's most fragile relationships. Last year, Israel and Turkey signed a reconciliation agreement that tentatively ended a six-year diplomatic breakdown caused by the IDF's military operation against a Turkish-sponsored humanitarian flotilla destined for Gaza.

SOTT Focus: St. Petersburg Metro Bombing, Syria Chemical Attack - Trump Folds to the 'Deep State'?

It's been an interesting few days in the world of geopolitically-relevant terror attacks and 'Trump vs. the Deep State' (both of which are far from mutually exclusive).

First we had the St. Petersburg attack where some young guy from Kyrgyzstan with no history of violence decided to detonate an IED on a train, killing himself and 14 innocent civilians. Russian police apparently found the DNA of Akbarzhon Jalilov, who had lived in Russia for a number of years, in the metro carriage where the explosion happened, and on a second unexploded device at another metro station. Of course, this doesn't mean that Jalilov acted alone or was the 'mastermind' of the atrocity. As I have hypothesized on several occasions, anyone naive or manipulatable enough to carry a backpack, given to them by someone else, to a specific location, can become an instant unwitting 'suicide bomber'.

So who might have been Jalilov's accomplices? According to the Western media, somewhere near the top of the list is Putin himself. The BBC had no problem in theorizing that the bombing was "some kind of attempt to distract attention from calls for a corruption investigation and calls for President Putin himself to step down..."

'What are you doing to help Syria?' Russia hits back at Britain during heated UN session

Russia has accused Britain of carrying no sense of responsibility to end the civil war in Syria and has called on the UK to explain what it is doing to help the beleaguered country, during a heated session at the United Nations.

"In Syria, do you carry any sense of responsibility? No, you don't," Russia's deputy ambassador to the UN, Vladimir Safronkov, said at an emergency meeting of the Security Council on Wednesday.

"Everything is guided by the need to change the regime. Even this obsession with the regime change is what hinders the work of the Security Council.

"[The UK] is not doing anything about the situation [in Syria]," he added.

"No - it's true, you are doing one thing. You are submitting drafts in the Security Council that only provoke."

Years of experience in office has given Russian President Vladimir Putin the skills and ability to shrug off incessant vulgarities hurled at him in the public sphere, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

"As a person, he might be stung, but as president he is quite resilient to these vulgarities and has learned to brush them off long ago," Peskov said commenting on reports that the Justice Ministry had posted an updated federal list of extremist data on its site, with a poster featuring the Russian president wearing makeup among them.

The divide between the West and the Islamic world is becoming dangerously deep

The 21st century, which began with the horrendous terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, has been marked by a deepening division of civilizations - the struggle between which is exacerbated by the crisis that the West experiences.

Under these conditions in order to maintain their dominant position in the world, Western states would not hesitate a minute to launch armed interventions against sovereign countries, which has been clearly demonstrated by the invasions of Libya and Iraq, or by the financial and material that Washington has been providing to various extremist organizations in a bid to topple governments all over the Middle East, with Syria being the most vivid example.

As a matter of fact, both Islamist extremist and Western powers are aggravating a deepening divide along civilizational and confessional lines by starting new conflicts and crises. In certain moments one can have an impression that they're acting in tune, even though their stated goals are different.

If President Trump would say "The sun rises in the east and sets in the west", undoubtedly the New York Times will sarcastically laugh and claim that the ignorant redneck who became the president thanks to Putin the Killer's interference, is not aware of not-so-recent advances in astronomy that make his sentence truly absurd. There was no statement, not a single Trump's twit that the mass media did not debunk and made a subject of mirth.

However, as time goes, we learn that Trump knows things other people do not know or do not dare to say. Here are three statements of Trump that caused disbelief and indignation but later on, they turned out to be absolute truth.
