The White
House has finally aligned itself with the Coalition composed of the
neo-conservatives around the United Kingdom and a variety of multinational
companies. The United States have once again taken up the imperialist policies
upon which they decided in 1991, and have reactivated NATO. The rupture with
Russia and China was consummated on 12 April 2017. The world is once again on
the brink of nuclear war.
During two weeks of intense fighting within the Trump
administration, the United States have illegally attacked the air base at
Chayrat (Syria), then multiplied contradictory signals before showing their
hand – finally, they are relaunching their imperialist policy.
In less
than two weeks, the Trump administration has defended 7 different positions
concerning the Syrian Arab Republic [1].
On 12 April 2017, the United States made their great about-face.
At the same time, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson traveled to
Moscow in order to attempt a final peaceful approach – the UNO Security Council
met and took note of the conflict – and President Trump sent NATO against
Russia.
President Trump’s special advisor, Steve Bannon, and his
assistant, Sebastian Gorka, were preparing themselves to join General Michael
Flynn, while the once pro-Trump Press drew up an account of their activity.
Rumors claim that the President’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is the only person
who now has the President’s ear, without this information being verifiable.
It seems
that the White House has folded under pressure from the British, who are
determined to preserve at any cost the jihadist system that they have
created [2]. UK Minister for Foreign Affairs Boris
Johnson relied upon the European leaders who had already allowed themselves to
be convinced by the neo-conservatives during the Security Conference in Munich
on 19 February [3].
In order
to justify the aggression of a sovereign state which is a member of the United
Nations, Rex Tillerson could do no more than refer to a synthesis of the US «
Intelligence » service documents about the incident in Khan Shaykhun. This
synthesis offers no indication which could allow anyone to suspect Syria, but
refers in turn to classified information, and ends up with an appeal to
overthrow the « régime » [4].
The
irreversible nature of this about-face may be measured by the reading of the
draft resolution presented to the Security Council by NATO, to which Russia
opposed its veto [5]. Presented in the West as a simple request
for a neutral inquiry into the chemical incident in Khan Shaykhun, it was, in
reality, the placing of the Syrian Air Force under the control of the N°2 of
the UNO, Jeffrey Feltman. This ex-assistant of Hillary Clinton is the author of
a plan for the total and unconditional capitulation of Syria [6].
The text
of this resolution duplicates that of the draft presented on 6 April, but which
the United States had not submitted to vote since they were so uncertain of
themselves. They took no notice of the attempt at mediation by elected members
of the Security Council, who tried to steer it back to a normal request for a
UN inquiry [7].
The principle of placing the Syrian Air Force under UN control
uses the tactic that had been used in 1998, 19 years ago, against Serbia, until
the illegal military intervention of NATO.
President
Donald Trump finalized his about-face by receiving at the White House the
Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg. During a shared Press conference,
he indicated that he no longer considered the Alliance as obsolete, thanked it
for its support against Syria, and was prepared to work in close collaboration
with his allies [8].
In
response, Russie announced that it has updated 60 % of its nuclear arsenal, and
is ready for war [9].
So we now
find ourselves in the same position as six months ago, when Obama’s United
States refused to work with China, Russia and their allies (Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and Collective Security Treaty Organization ). They
were thus proposing to cut the world into two distinct parts, neither one
communicating at all with the other [10].
