US, Israel and Turkey Undermining Ceasefire in Syria |

| Hostilities continue despite declared ceasefire on Monday - farcical,
not real, because Washington and its rogue allies want war, not peace. Another Russian effort aimed at resolving conflict failed. Russia’s General Staff reported 60 ceasefire violations by US-supported terrorists as of September 14, civilians in harm’s way mostly affected. On Thursday, Syrian media reported 36 breaches on Wednesday alone, indicating conflict continues raging. Pro-Western UN envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura lied, claiming violence diminished considerably - while admitting it continues in “a number of places…” Israel is part of the problem, supporting anti-Syria terrorists, this month alone terror-bombing Syria multiple times, the latest incident on Wednesday targeting government artillery positions near Golan - likely in response to its military downing an IDF warplane and drone in Syrian airspace. Neocon CIA director John Brennan suggested endless war continues in Syria, failing to explain Washington instigated aggression, intending no letup, wanting overwhelmingly popular Assad replaced by pro-Western governance. US and Turkish forces pretend to be targeting ISIS in Syria while actively supporting its fighters - America terror-bombing government sites and infrastructure, Turkey waging war on Kurdish YPG forces, betrayed by Washington after supporting them. In a Tibilisi, Georgia address, US-installed NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg recited a litany of misinformation and Big Lies - claiming the alliance evolved from “collective defense (to) prevent war from spreading in Europe (despite its responsibility for raping Yugoslavia in the 1990s). (T)o take a stand against massive abuses of human rights, (to defend) our commitment to universal values.” “We are strengthening our collective defense and deterrence…NATO does not seek confrontation. All of our measures are defensive, transparent, and in line with our international obligations. We do not want a new Cold War.” Washington dominates NATO, using it as an instrument for naked aggression against nonbelligerent states. Stoltenberg obeys US orders, reciting the script he’s handed, serving as a subservient imperial tool - involved in Obama’s war on Syria. Nothing in prospect suggests hope for resolution, escalation virtually certain if Hillary succeeds Obama. Long-suffering Syrians can expect no relief from years of US-waged aggression, using ISIS and other terrorists as proxy foot soldiers. Late in life, I may not live long enough to see it end, Syrians and others freed from America’s imperial scourge. Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago. He can be reached at lendmanstephen@sbcglobal.net.
