Britain, Syria… Synchronizing Provocations to Beat Russia

• Britain, Syria… Synchronizing Provocations to Beat Russia
  by https://sputniknews.com/
  It’s just too much of a coincidence. The dramatic ramping up of Cold War-like hostility towards Russia by Britain and its NATO allies dovetails with major military setback for these same powers in Syria.
  –
  The plausible connection is this: the attempted smearing of Russia over the apparent poison-assassination plot in Britain is being used by Britain and the United States to push their desired military intervention in Syria to topple the Assad government.
  –
  Both scenarios involve staged provocations employing chemical weapons. Less coincidence; more synchronicity. In Britain, the apparent poisoning of a former Russian spy living in exile with a nerve agent is being sensationally blamed on Moscow. Moscow has rejected official British allegations that its state agents were responsible for the attempted murder of Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the southern English town of Salisbury on March 4.
  –
  The whole affair smacks of a psychological operation orchestrated by British state agencies with the premeditated objective of incriminating Russia. Suspicion stems from the whirlwind speed with which the British authorities have formulated their charges against Russia through a saturated media campaign.
  –
  Where’s the evidence for the alleged Soviet-era “Novichok” nerve agent that the British authorities claim to have detected? And indeed where exactly are the Skripal father and daughter, reportedly confined to hospital intensive care? Strangely, their condition remains unknown and unreported.
  –
  Prime Minister Theresa May’s dramatic announcement in the House of Commons this week blaming Russia for attempted murder and then expulsion of “Russian spies” from Britain, followed by an unprecedented joint statement of “solidarity” from the leaders of Britain, the US, France and Germany — all suggests a choreographed script to impugn Moscow as an international pariah.
