History repeats itself and, sometimes, it doesn’t even need generation gaps to do so. In the modern-day West, it only needs a space of a few days or weeks. This is why the US, UK, and French governments feel so confident in their ability to launch airstrikes against Syria for the third time under the Trump administration on the basis of false chemical weapons claims.

As the Syrian military prepares for perhaps the biggest and most bloody battle of the war – the battle to liberate Idlib – it appears that the West is preparing to make a stand of its own in defense of the head choppers and “moderate” cannibals it has supported since 2011. But while the US has twice used disproven claims of chemical weapons in Syria as a pretext to launch strikes against Syria, both of those strikes were relatively minor in terms of the damage they caused. However, America’s seemingly independent-of-the-executive branch military is already preparing for the possibility of strikes against Syria, having known this moment was coming now for months.

And it is not only the alternative media that is warning of the possibility of strikes. The Russian government is sounding the alarm also.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the US and its allies are preparing new strikes against Syria. The MOD also stated that the terrorists in Idlib are preparing to stage a chemical weapons attack in order to place the blame on the Syrian government and provide a pretext for a Western attack on the country.

The staged attacks are allegedly being prepared by al-Nusra Front (Tahrir al-Sham) in Idlib. The MOD has stated that, in order to stage the attack, around eight canisters of chlorine have been delivered to a village near Jisr al-Shughur city. Another group of terrorists, who have allegedly been trained and prepped by private British security company Olive, have also recently arrived in the area. The group is to be disguised as White Helmets volunteers and will simulate a rescue operation involving locals who will be purportedly injured in the alleged attack.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has warned the US against any further “reckless” moves in Syria. Ryabkov is quoted by RIA Novosti as stating, “We hear ultimatums from Washington, including those made in public,” apparently referencing the remarks of neo-con fop, John Bolton.

“Again, we are witnessing serious escalation of the situation [in Syria],” Ryabkov added.

Bolton, of course, was speaking in Jerusalem before his colleagues in the Israeli government. He stated that the U.S. would respond “very strongly” if the Syrian government used “chemical weapons” in the offensive.

“We now see plans for the Syrian regime to resume offensive military activities in Idlib province,” he said. “We are obviously concerned about the possibility that Assad may use chemical weapons again.”

Bolton warned, “Just so there’s no confusion here, if the Syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly and they really ought to think about this a long time.”

Already, according to Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman, Major General Igor Konashenkov, the USS The Sullivans, an Arleigh Burke-class Aegis guided missile destroyer, was deployed to the Persian Gulf a few days ago. It is possible Konashenkov is reference the recent naval and coast guard exerciseswhich took place between the United State, Kuwait, and Iraq.
