Breaking! Another major false flag being planned by the West in Syria. Russians sound a warning.

As the West is furiously hatching one false flag after another to further poison the image of Russia, and, even more dangerously, seek ways to harass her whenever her personnel or allies may be found, the situation in the world continues to deteriorate at a rapid clip, with the possibility of a major armed confrontation between the nuclear superpowers becoming a tragic reality in 2018 or not much later than that, unless the US and its vassal states change course, not likely at this point given the depravity of their ruling cliques and the miasma of exceptionalism and supremacism still permeating their brains, and the culture in general.

Thus, out of nowhere the London-Washington axis of (real) evil has come up with the latest spurious story about Russia, and naturally Putin, being the culprits for the groundless poison attack on an exiled former Russian spy living quietly in Britain, S. Skripal and his daughter. Without the benefit of even completing a preliminary investigation, politicians and media in both Britain and the US have already formed a hysterical chorus of accusers, and pronounced their verdict, the Russians did it, while PM Theresa May, who apparently has no notion of what decency or even self-preservation means,  has kept busy haughtily issuing ludicrous ultimatums to Moscow. In one of today's dispatches, our colleague Stephen Lendman noted the following about this latest insult:

In response to British PM Theresa May demanding swift Russian answers to questions posed about the incident, a Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman (speaking for her government) replied sharply saying:  “One does not give 24 hours notice to a nuclear power,” adding the “Skripal poisoning was not an incident but a colossal international provocation,” adding: Not a “single international legal mechanism (exists) to probe the Skripal case.”

Indeed. Who do the Brits think they are? One does not give 24 hours notice to a nuclear power.
Incidentally, with the West (and that includes Israel and Japan, etc.) it's almost always about the money. In this case the old refrain, "Cherchez la femme," must be updated to "Cherchez l'argent!". "L'argent" in question is the desire by Washington to scuttle Russo-German plans to complete Nord Stream 2, a new pipeline to supply Western Europe with Russian gas that, as frequently proclaimed, the US ruling circles are determined to block come what may (it's also part of why they continue to meddle in Syria). 

Meanwhile, in the Syrian theater of confrontation, the US and its propaganda assets, which naturally feature the ubiquitous White Helmets, created and deployed to fill this role, along with plenty of ISIS cadre (aka "moderate rebels") are hurriedly preparing another monstrosity, a replay of the old "Assad gassed his own people!" routine, first floated as an excuse to attack Syria by Obama (2013), eventually dissuaded by prompt Russian diplomacy, (this incident was eventually shown to have been a frame-up by the West, with Saudi miscreant Prince Bandar acting as channel for the requisite money and gas supplies to the rebels). This time the plotters are clearly targeting Eastern Ghouda, a propaganda stage already pre-saturated with Western disinformation, not to mention that the American public, ultra convenient for the ruling mafia, while soaked in jingoist narratives, knows little and remembers nothing. The object is to stage more aggressive "retaliatory" attacks on Damascus, a posse likely to include the US and its coterie of accomplices, probably to include Israel and the Saudis, too, always willing to shed someone else's blood in pursuit of their ignoble ends. This time around, things risk getting out of control if Russian personnel falls in these attacks. —P Greanville
