Trump "Holds Syria, Russia Responsible" but a "Final Decision Has Not Been Made" +Videos
By Tyler Durden / ZeroHedge
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said on Wednesday that Washington has not yet laid out a timetable on possible strikes on Syria, however President Trump is leaving a number of options on Damascus besides a purported missile strike. Moreover, the US president holds Russia and Syria responsible for the suspected chemical attack in Douma and said all options were still on the table for a US response
“The president holds [Syrian President Bashar al-] Assad and the Russians responsible for the attack,” White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told reporters, adding that the intelligence reports provided to the United States do not support Russia’s assertion that the attack was staged by the White Helmets.
However, Trump has not yet made a final decision on how the United States will respond the White House Press Secretary emphasized. Earlier on Wednesday, Trump tweeted that “missiles will be coming” in response to the alleged chemical attack in Syria and added that Russia should “get ready”. Sadners denied that his Twitter threats had created any problem.
Sanders then said Trump had a number of options, not just military, and that he was assessing how to respond.
“We have a number of options and all of those options are still on the table. Final decisions haven’t been made yet on that front,” Sanders said when asked about a potential US response. Sanders said Vice President Mike Pence had chaired a meeting of Trump’s national security team on Wednesday afternoon.
Sanders also said that Russia is partially responsible for Syria’s alleged recent use of chemical weapons against civilians in Douma because Moscow failed the prevention from carrying out another chemical attack as it had earlier guaranteed. “They guaranteed that the use of chemical weapons by Syria would not happen again. They failed at that,” Sanders told reporters on Wednesday.
Which, of course, is strange considering that on July 20, 2014, then Secretary of State John Kerry said that “we got 100 percent of the declared chemical weapons out [of Syria].”
Was Kerry lying, or is someone lying now that Assad has chemical weapons, so critical to stage one false flag attack after another?
Meanwhile, Syria’s Foreign Ministry said Washington is using the alleged chemical attack as a pretext to target Syria. “We are not surprised by this reckless escalation from a regime like the one in the United States, which has and continues to sponsor terrorism in Syria,” said the statement, carried by state media.
Russia has said claims of a chemical weapons attack were fabricated and threatened to retaliate if its allies in Damascus are threatened. “If there is a US strike … the missiles will be downed as well as the sources they were fired from,” Russian Ambassador to Lebanon Alexander Zasypkin said.
Russia’s ambassador to the European Union, Vladimir Chizhov, told Euronews that the suspected chemical attack in Syria was a “staged event” by those working with the White Helmets, a volunteer humanitarian aid NGO. A spokesperson for the White Helmets, formally called Syria Civil Defence, told Newsweek that the group categorically rejects the claims.
The top adviser to Iran’s supreme leader also said that Tehran would support Damascus against any “foreign aggression”, in response to Trump’s comments about a possible military strike in Syria. “We will stand by Syria’s government against any foreign aggression … Iran backs Syria in its fight against America and the Zionist Regime (Israel),” Ali Akbar Velayati told state TV during a visit to Syria’s Eastern Ghouta.
Finally, Russia’s Interfax reported that Moscow is in direct contact with the US Joint Chiefs of Staff about the situation in Syria, citing Vladimir Shamanov, head of the lower house of parliament’s defence committee. Which is probably useful if the world hopes to avoid World War III.

PotUS TRUMP KNOWS that THE CHEMICAL ATTACK in SYRIA…IS A HOAX and FAL$E FLAG.
The MAINSTREAM MEDIA KNOWS that THE CHEMICAL ATTACK in SYRIA…IS A HOAX and FAL$E FLAG.
ALL OF CONGRE$$ of Congress KNOWS that THE CHEMICAL ATTACK in SYRIA…IS A HOAX and FAL$E FLAG.
The ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS that ASSAD IS NOT that STUPID (he is a doctor and ophthalmologist) so as to gas women and children at the very moment HE IS WINNING THE WAR IN SYRIA…a…launching a chemical weapons strike for shits and giggle, moments after Trump announced a US pullout from Syria.
HERE ARE SIX VERY SIMPLE REASONS
WHY…TRUMP WILL GO TO WAR in SYRIA, 
ALL OF WHICH HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH a….TRUMPed UP “HEINOU$”….CHEMICAL ATTACK …..
from an “animal” dictator, OR $PREADING DEMOCRACY TO the MIDDLE EAST…
1. THE PETRODOLLAR he (via comment on The Gateway Pundit):
“THE CHINESE HAVE RECENTLY ISSUED THE GOLD BACKED YUAN…WHICH…THEY & OTHERS…HAVE VOWED TO USE to sell/purchase oil (amongst other things).
THE LAST TWO NATIONS THAT TRIED TO INTRODUCE A CURRENCY TO COMPETE AGAINST THE PETRODOLLAR…
WERE LIBYA and IRAQ.
THE US NEEDS THAT PIPELINE THROUGH SYRIA..EVEN MORE THAN EVER now, especially if they are to compete for European gas/oil markets (presently controlled by Russia and their pipeline) and the Chinese Yuan.
2. John McCain and the MIC:
McCAIN I$…THE DEEP $TATE PRESIDENT…and…THE NUMBER ONE WAR SALESMAN…for…THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.
WHERE ever John McCAIN GOE$…WAR FOLLOW$……Libya…UKRAINE….SYRIA….McCAIN I$ the ANGEL of DEATH….
and the MIC sends him around the world TO ARM NEO-NAZI$ in UKRAINE…AL QAEDA TERRORI$T$…I$I$ HEAD CHOPPER$..and ANY OTHER GROUP that I$ WILLING TO START FAKE “CIVIL WAR$”…or….ILLEGAL “COUPS”….
…ALL FOR the PROFIT….of the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.
3. SAUDI ARABIA and MbS:
SAUDI$ CROWN PRINCE just wrapped up a US PR TOUR and IS NOW IN FRANCE.
WESTERN LEADERS and MAINSTREAM MEDIA “liberals” are creaming in their pants over the Saudi leader, HAILING HIM AS A VISIONARY… renaissance man.
They FAIL TO REPORT on how MbS is SLAUGHTERING YEMENI citizens BY THE THOUSANDS… or how his Saudi dictatorship is one of the most repressive regimes in the world.
Also forgotten is that SADI ARABIA supported Al Qaeda during the 9/11 terrorist attack, and are admittedly FUNDING and TRAINING…AL QAEDA and I$I$ terrorists IN SYRIA……terrorists that make their way to Europe, and eventually run over innocent people with cars and trucks.
No matter…MbS (and his billions in cash) has the ear of Trump and Macron…now both the US and France are giddy about attacking Syria.
4. Israel:
I$RAEL HAS BEEN ITCHING TO DESTROY SYRIA FOR DECADES.
APRIL 9th, 2018 TWO ISRAELI F-15 FIGHTERS LAUNCHED GUIDED MISSILES from LEBANESE AIRSPACE
THEY STRUCK SYRIA’S T-4 AIRBASE in HOMS PROVINCE…WITHOUT WARNING… or just cause. Five out of eight missiles found themselves neutralized.
According to NBC news, I$RAEL INFORMED the UNITED STATES prior to THEIR STRIKE on the Syrian base……..
BUT DID NOT WARN RUSSIA.
RUSSIAN MILITARY COULD HAVE BEEN PRESENT at the SYRIAN BASE DURING the ATTACK…YET…I$RAEL DID NOT WARN MOSCOW.
In its actions…ISRAEL IS TRYING TO CREATE THE TRIP WIRE…. necessary TO PROPEL the WORLD TOWARD$ a HOT WAR…
BETWEEN…..the UNITED $TATE$…and…RUSSIA.
I$RAEL’$ GOAL…TAKE OVER SYRIA..or….at the very least IN$TALL a GOVERNMENT in DAMASCUS…that will report directly to Israel.
RUSSIA’S CONTROL of DOUMA…and…IT’S ABILITY TO NOW CONDUCT A FULL INVESTIGATION …….
I$ A BIG REASON WHY…the DEEP $TATE I$…SO EAGER to BOMB SYRIA…AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
As a result of the…TOTAL SURRENDER OF the JIHADI$… previously in control of Douma on Sunday….
IT IS THE RUSSIAN MILITARY WHO this timeARE IN CONTROLL of the …ALLEGED CRIME SCENE.
This has put the RUSSIANS in a position where for the first time they ARE ABLE both TO INVITE the OPCW INSPECTORS…
to ATTEND the CRIME SCENE and to provide them with protection if they are there, WHILST ate the SAME TIME ….
MONITORING and SUPERVISING their WORK.
IF…the CHEMICAL ATTACK on DOUMA…REALLY is FICTITIOUS – AS the RUSSIANS INSIST IT IS – THEN FOR THE FIRST TIME…
THEIR CONTROL of THE CRIME SCENE PUTS the RUSSIANS IN a STRONG POSITION TO PROVE IT.
THE POINT WAS MADE FORCEFULLY by RUSSIA’S UN AMBASSADOR Vassily Nebenzia AT THE UN Security Council session TODAY…and it also received indirect backing from…the UN SECRETARIAT…who ADMITTED that THEY COULD NOT CONFIRM that A CHEMICAL WEAPONS ATTACK HAD HAPPENED…AND… who CALLED UPON ALL SIDES to SHOW RESTRAINT….
…UNTIL A PROPER INVESTIGATION of the INCIDENT HAD TAKEN PLACE.
NEBENZIA FOLLOWED THIS UP BY…INVITING…OPCW INSPECTORS TO THE SCENE…as early as TOMORROW, TUESDAY.
This is because THE CREDIBILITY of the VARIOUS ‘WITNE$$E$’ TO the DOUMA ATTACK – WHO ARE of course THE SAME WITNESSES…WHO WERE PREVIOUSLY ‘WITNE$$’…TO the 2013 EAST GHOUTA…and…the 2017 KHAN SHEIKHOUN ATTACKS – IS NOW ON THE LINE
A$ I$ the CREDIBILITY of THO$E WE$TERN GOVERNMENT$ – first and foremost the US GOVERNMENT– who believed or…WHO PRETENDED TO BELIEVE THEM.
I would add that NOT ONLY I$ THE CREDIBILITY of the U$ GOVERNMENT and of OTHER WE$TERN GOVERNMENT$…
ON THE LINE… SO I$ the CREDIBILITY of WE$TERN JOURNALI$T$…WHO…who also believed or PRETENDED to BELIEVE the……’WITNESSES’.
6. DISTRACT FROM Michael COHEN and $TORMY DANIEL$:
Bill CLITON DID IT…WHEN HE ATTACKED SERBIA…so as TO DISTRACT FROM MONICA’$ ‘BJ’ IN the OVAL OFFICE…and…
TRUMP has the OPPORTUNITY to BOMB SYRIA…so as TO DISTRACT from COHEN…MUELLER…and…PORN $TAR…
$TORMY DANIEL$.

* * * * * *
MACRON BEG$ RUSSIA….NOT TO RETALIATE AGAIN$T FRENCH…SYRIA STRIKES.
$AY$…..STRIKES WOULD…”NOT BE INTENDED TO HARM GOVERNMENT ALLIES”
If Assad is such a monster that he needs to be bombed then so are his allies for standing by him so what is Macron doing reassuring them and asking for their restraint?
The FRENCH BOY-president says he I$ DI$CU$$ING BOMBING SYRIA with WA$HINGTON and LONDON. Actually last year Macron drew a red line saying any use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government side (which in practice means any allegation with enough media oomph) would automatically trigger a direct French military intervention.
Even so the VISIBLY NERVOUS MACRON… is now BEGGING MOSCOW…TO PLEA$E UNDERSTAND…that any French $TRIKE$ would NOT be AIMED at RUSSIANS… but would have the sole aim of allowing Macron to stand by Trump:
The French leader added that any action would NOT be INTENDED TO HARM government ALLIE$, who include Russia:
“In no case will the decision we take be intended to harm THE REGIME’S ALLIES…or…ANYONE ELSE …BUT to… …ATTACK the…CHEMICAL CAPACITY…OF…the REGIME… IF… the decision is taken.”
The obvious question is if Macron is so unsure of the strikes he is deliberating on why even order them?
The BEST GUARANTEE that SYRIA’ ALLIES WON’T RESPOND…IS…NOT TO ATTACK SYRIA.
But of course if Assad is such a monster then so are his allies for standing by him so why is Macron reassuring them and asking for their restraint?
