US-Russia hot War in Syria. US considers military option against Russia. Incredible hypocrisy.
5 minutes readEMIL COSMAN—The main issue—irrefutable—is that the US has NO right to be occupying one-third of Syrian territory, nor claiming the right to conduct military missions under any pretext whatsoever.

STEVEN SAHIOUNIE—Sanctions against Syria were imposed by the European Union, the United States, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, the Arab League, as well as other countries beginning in 2011. The sanctions were aimed at overthrowing the Syrian government, by depriving it of its resources. U.S.-sponsored ‘regime change’ has failed but the sanctions were never lifted. For 12 years the U.S. and EU have been imposing economic sanctions on Syria which have deprived the Syrians of their dignity and human rights.
