The UK is drawing plans to join a possible US military action against Syria in response to the alleged chemical attack in town of Douma, which took place on April 7.
According to reports, on April 9, military chiefs were instructed by the authorities to plan an expanded operation against the government of Bashar Assad.
The talks came as UK Prime Minister Theresa May claimed on April 9 that President Assad and its backers would be “held to account”.
“If they’re found to be responsible, the regime and its backers, including Russia, must be held to account,” she said.
Last weekend, when the attack was first reported, May refused to rule out a military action against the Syrian government.
“We are working urgently with our allies to assess what has happened,” she said. “We are also working with our allies on any action that is necessary.”
Meanwhile, Washington is also openly considering a military option against Syria, which will be justified by the Douma attack.
According to some reports, one of the military options considered by the Trump adminsitration, is the so-called multinational action against the Assad government, i.e. a full-scale invasion.
Recently, the UK and the US have been the main critics of Russia over what appears to be the clearly staged Skripal poisoning case. Now, they are preparing to develop their aggressive posture over the Syrian conflict.
MAY YOU’RE A SLUT AND TRUMP IS YOUR PIMP !!!
They wouldn’t be full-scale invasion by either of them and I am sure they want to put pressure on Russia to stop backing President Assad. What they don’t realise is that Russia are good when they put pressure on them through military action . Just enjoy everything you need because hell will break if any Russia troops are killed in the attack.
Russia did lose some troops but only as PMCs.
Russia so far displayed lamely to shoot down ANY Western planes.
Just shoot one down , entire Nato will withdraw
I am not sure Trump can pimp her out anywhere – she is one ugly, disgusting piece of skank.
Scarecrow.
LOL – the birds would just have a dump on her head.
Stupid stupid Britain.
Theresa May will have to get Parliamentary approval to do that and that is doubtful and if she lost could easily cause a general election.
We live in truly mad times Jerry ‘ I also suspect the US belligerence is theatre for the MK talks in May . Russia must stand firm now.
you should focus yourself on brexit, commie
Huh?
He’s a deluded fuck on medicine, never makes sense :D
@velocimbecil
There are no more commies, no wonder you are a prehistoric monster.
Alex is right crappy. You are a deluded fuck.
John Bolton’s old buddy in crime against humanity, Tony Blair sees that totally different:
“Tony Blair says Theresa May does not need Parliament’s approval for air strikes against Assad regime”
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/04/10/tony-blair-says-theresa-may-does-not-need-parliaments-approval/
How will she explain the death of UK servicemen I wonder? Russia is not a native with a spear.
She will explain it with a lie – she is quite good at that. Also the chances, with the Brits being part of this new ‘coalition of the willing’ – the hopes that it will be just a ‘Trump tomahawk cruise missile show’, and not real death and destruction, are next to zero.
The Scripal hoax has also created enough hate inside Russia against the Brits, that his own people will force Putin to react in the strongest terms.
I tend more to think that it’s done, that it can’t be stopped any longer. If there are after a few days enough deaths at Nato and Russian side – then it will run it’s cause, and might spread all over the show.
Next might then Ukraine, Korea, China… everywhere…

Few in broader UK population much care for Blair’s opinion anymore – he was heavily discredited by the Chilcott Report on Iraq War – yet British centrist media insist on publishing Blair’s interventionist agenda.
He seems to be strongly connected to the messianic movement, but I never bothered to go into his family religious history – but this 33deg mason is acting almost like a zoharist…
“Theresa May will have to get Parliamentary approval to do that and that is doubtful and if she lost could easily cause a general election.”
Unfortunately this is no longer true, she can take the decision herself; that is how low our government has fallen.
Blair is telling her not to bother??????????? Seriously. Details on a previous link.
Yes I was reading it, before I threw the machine on the setae.
Have you seen that Blair has popped out of his crypt? The smell of blood, roused him from his slumber, and what he is saying?
Well, he got away with it, back in 2003, the same chacters, same faces, with a few others, all involved and running exactly the same script, that they ran with Sadam, Iraq and the illusive WMDs.
Theresa May speaks to Macron and will call Trump about striking back at Syria as Tony Blair calls for military action WITHOUT a vote of MPs… http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/index.html
Yes go at it.
You’ll like if someone stage something fake in you’re house and after call the police to break in and arrest and maybe kill you? dumbfuck sheep
Look it wouldn’t take days if they brave enough to launch world war.
So you support a world war isn’t you?
I don’t. Was it relevant ? Are you UK citizens ? It’s on you if you are.
I’m not UK citizen, the fuck are you talking about now.. i answered to you because you seem to support a US intervention in Syria but maybe you are a classic american stupid..
Dirty swines May, Johnson, Williamson and all the rest.
Do the military never consider their responsibilities according to the Nuremburg Convention?
They should refuse to participate in this immoral, illegal, murderous, and entirely unjustified action.
May they be shot down and their parachutes fail to open.
And I say that as a British person myself.
Depends on how Russia or iran responds.
It’s war now. A war Assad will win for certainty if they are better than the Houthis
I think Assad’s allies are better than the Houthis…. May be?
And assads enemies are also better than saudis.
They are guided fully by US using US planes with unlimited munitions… Tell me how are US pilots better that the Saudi planes piloted by maybe Americans pilots.
And tell me, how to defeat the Houthis ….I am all ears
There is a difference, in Yemen the Saudis pay for the war and the west make fortune but in Syria even US, UK, France and Turkey (to name a few main perpetrators) have invested heavily!
We are talking about using planes to attack ground forces.
Money has nothing to do with it
In an comparison between the war in Yemen and the war in Syria you mentioned that the Assad has better friends.
velociraptor mentioned that Assad’s enemies are also better.
In the reply to him, you rightly implied that in both they use american weapon and planning thus they have both same enemy and I upvoted your lead input (note that as an example you just mentioned american planes and weapon)
In reply to you I mentioned that there actually is a difference (between the enemies of Syria and enemies of Yemen even if the enemies of both use american weapon) whereby in Syria not only Saudis but also the West (particularly US but also UK and France) have invested heavily.
You tel me where in the discussion anyone said anything about “using planes to attack ground forces”? And where did I directly/exclusively talked about money?
And they’ll have to invest more….they only dare to Fight with many against one… we will see how much Balls they Got…their Armies in All those Countries including America Heavily divided… Russia One Big Solid Mass of Determination & Selfsacrifice (did I mention Iran & China?)… Good Luck Europe & the rest!!! And I prefer to stand with the East… that’s where the Sun comes Up
Saudis dont fly the saudi planes, Israelis do, they are just better at being cowards and killing kids and women from 40 000ft.
This is a war between Israeli migrants and Muslims. Russia support Muslims and Washington, UK and France support Israeli butchers. Note. Israeli migrants are number one butchers in the world, each year they slaughter 3 to 4 thousands of Muslims in the world.
I’m disagree Rob. Israel migrant aka Zionist scumbag have attack everyone, they have slaughtered French, Russian, Lebanese, Palestinian, Syrian ..etc. I think this time is a war between the crazy western establishments(zionist slaves) lead by US/Israel vs the coalitions of sane leads by Russia, and I believe the silence majority in the world would be on Russian sides when the times came.
Putin should establish no fly zone over Syria for illegal intruders and without wasting time, from now choose the targets in Israel, in UK, in US and in the sea.
Putin should not down otherwise the consequences for Russia would be worst than Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. If Russia win then US, UK and France may break which Israel don’t want.
Welcome to the reality for at least the last 5th centuries. Just listening to the last UNSC meeting, it becomes clear how imperialistic the attitude of the western world still is. Combined with the seemingly lack of higher education of the representatives of US, UK and France, a mafia-like meeting emerges. Embarrassing!
Those People soon get what they deserve… High Treason….wasn’t that a Rope or Firing Squad? Live on MSM… how bloody nice….
It was. Now they put them in government.
Interestingly, Tony Blair took the crime off the statute books.
Perhaps he knew what was coming.
He Knew….to get themselves of the hook, but that is not how reality works…The Germans didn’t ask for Nuremberg but still got it…those Politicians probably did not think for a second about that…Sell your soul to the Devil & sooner or later he’ll be comin’ for his claim… To me that time seems pretty close…why would they be in such a hurry…just tryin’ to save their sorry asses hehehe
Plenty of lamp-posts available for immediate use between Downing Street and the Palace of Westminster.
We will show them what a United Europe really means…
Out of context. Just picked up on Nuremberg.
Were you aware that was the show?
The confessions were obtained in London first.

Oh, but that makes it a lot easier to get Blair convicted to them Gallows… skip the Geneva coventions… just find a tree high enough..life is so simple…oh yeah almost forgot…gotta buy some rope…no need to torture me MI6…I confess: I would like to see Blair hang…fucken Warcriminal…
This whole WWII in Europe was a show…
The Theme: Slaughter the Germans seems closer to the truth then the Holocaust…Gulags and Ukraine Famine were even worse…not much in my High School History books about this….Just Anne Frank….over and over and over and over again…
Some more Geneva Conventions..:

I second that, as a British person myself.
According to international law, France had no right to launch a ground invasion of Germany in 1939 using 40 divisions, 1,100 artillery pieces and more then 400 tanks during the Saar invasion.
Eventually the indigenous defenders repulsed the invaders and counter attacked and took Paris as a buffer zone against the aggressors.
https://www.warhistoryonline.com/featured/did-you-know-the-french-army-invaded-germany-in-1939.html
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saar_Offensive
Fortunately, the tanks were Renault / Citroen models, and so rapidly broke down or were “re-purposed” as roadside sculptures.
But the entire western response was a set-up job anyway; Hitler could not be allowed to continue his jew-free barter system with the rest of the world, which had led to the resurrection of Germany in less than a decade, after its jewish-led destruction at Versailles.
Following on, of course, from its destruction by the same forces in WW1.
Wasn’t this WWII just a tool to take over Germany and Create Israhell? And Create A Fourth Reich, called Europe with the same Fascist Families? I still doubt if Hitler wasn’t just their Puppet…the false flaggot…
The UK and French and Jews did the same thing to the indigenous Germanic tribes as they did to the Cherokee. Cherokee and Germans should join forces with other like minded Nationalist and take the Resistance to a global scale!
Totally Agree! They always use the same trick…but believe me you don’t have to be a Nationalist to do that…even Internationalists get pissed off…back in the good old Days The Northern Tribes United…and gave the Romans a devastating Blow…works best..Division is what they tried to accomplish these days…I don’t believe it is really working..that is a good sign…
PS the only way the U.S. Cavalry could find the Wintercamps of the Lakota was by using their enemies the Pawnee as Scouts….Divide & Conquer
Many elements are always in play.
Complex interactions between major players and interest groups.
But behind everything, always the jew.
“If my sons did not want wars, there would be no wars.”
DUMB & DUMBER
There’s something about simplicity that always makes me smile.
Israel will be happy. Israel is England’s Frankenstein monster. The beginning of the end. Soon, there will be no more Anglo/American Empire, for there will be no more world but radioactive rubble to rule.
Bloody disgraceful. Never before have I felt so embarrassed and ashamed to be British.
Why dont you heal your butthurt in iran massage salon
Arsehole.
Nicely put Jerry. :)
Not Arsehole … butthole.
But I’m British.
or maybe you into a wahabi salon in saudi arabia
I feel the same Julian. I demonstrated against the Iraq wars and will do so again if a demonstration is organised.
The sad truth is, even if millions demonstrated and I’m sure they would, it would never reach the news.
And the gangsters in power will still do whatever Israel wants.
perhaps this time, Israel will not get what it wants, but what it doesn’t want.
This Communication Worldwide is a much BIGGER threat… Boycots, Demonstrations, Riots, Revolutions… Underground Resistance to Full Scale War or Guerilla Warfare…All those possibilities are available…and the Elite can chose themselves what they prefer…now that sounds fair & reasonable to me…wait till Sheeple notice there is something goin’ on… they Know absolutely Nothing at the moment.. these ZioNazis done a Great Job with their MSM & DumbAss Down….but if there are no Pizza’s & Cola in the shop no’ mo’…..different ballgame…they’ll listen..with nukes they won’t even realise that a war started anyway…
Me too.
Its an outrage.
All lies – as it always has been – and as they betray Brexit..
Icing on the Salisbury cake of absolute government lies.
Yet millions of Brits will go out and vote for these war criminals on May3rd.
Same in Australia and the US. Not really a choice as the degenerates will be voted in again.
I will not Emily.
It’s not only disgraceful …but exhibit to the world the level of mentality LEADERS have !!! Not even kindergarten to believe and actually announce in world stage about their actions!!!
They really made fools of themselves … not to say they would be clobbered when Iran , Syrians and Russians stand firm. UK is no match at all in ME.
Better to show what true Brits are, rather than confuse yourself with those who do not live up to the ideal.
Let us redefine what it means to be British, by standing against tyranny, and the new age of darkness being promoted in our name.
Beautiful days for a change…or die tryin’…just let them start “their” war…
The war is on now. Very soon all Nato will be there to save “humanity” by protecting the terrorists and destroy Assad’s forces killing terrorists.
They want terrorists to rule like in Libya and return to terrorise their own countries.
Go gallant British knights in armour . Go save the terrorists
Meanwhile Assad should fight He or Houthis style
Hide all tanks
Elite Anglo-Sazons paid Saudi Arabia to spread jihadism during Cold War era in order to prevent Communism in Middle-East. Today they encourage irregular immigration and construction of new mosques throughout Europe in order to counteract secularism.
Anybody know what assets (i.e. ships) are in the Med? I take it the British will use their Cyprus air base to bomb Syria. I don’t recall any US CBGs in the area.
Hope Assad fight smart. Learn from Hezbollah….of Houthis if Russia v backs off.
Iran is there , that a comfort for Assad .
Btw, Assad is do quiet? Hiding?
Very timid guy
President Assad could have fled to exile years ago. He did NOT. He is a true Syrian Lion leading a nation of Lions who have withstood 8 years of attacks from the richest nations the world has ever seen.
Many people misinterpret trash talking for actual bravery.
I think Monster Assad has been sighted in Tokyo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKrj1ymJzmo
That would probably be inoperable minutes after any bomb is dropped. Poor sods.
Well you are as ill informed as the rest of us.
Its time for turkey and fsa to attack and conquer whole Aleppo areas
Not going to happen, fanboy, Turkey’s main concern right now is not regime change in Damascus but the Kurdish state within a state that the US is trying to carve out of Syria. It wants Manbij a hell of a lot more then it wants Aleppo.
Same old dirty tricks and make up stories of warmongers. The Iraq WMD conspiracy theory of these 2 hypocrites (US + UK) is coming back on stage in Syria. However, this time the NATOs will have to face not only Russia, but also Iran & Turkey. China will play reserves.
Madness reigns in Westminster
Sorry but all this was signaled weeks, if not months, in advance, and Russia has utterly failed to rise to the challenge. Just yesterday, the Kremlin’s resolve was probed by the Empire’s kosher branch, and Putin crawled under the bed as usual–can’t upset the rabbi’s apparently.
In 2013, the British parliament denied Cameron his adventure, because they worried about Syria’s Russian ally. If the same just elicits laughter this time round–well, they have just observed the evidence.
I know this is an unpopular opinion on this forum, but in this way Putin is just Tsipras with nukes. There are never consequences, never a Plan B, never an “or else”. Does the man really covet a spot in the pantheon of defeated appeasers? How could you face your country afterwards?
You’re not even funny. You seemed to be able to think clearly but now proving that was a false impression.
Lets face it ..I think he has a point.. These statement coming from Russia are not convincing..Its always ” may be serious consequences” , ” ‘tracking’ western aircraft over Syria”.. Ultimately Russia’s efforts in Syria will have been a waste of money and lives if the Syrian state is still destroyed..Russia should have just allowed it to happen years ago if they arent going to act decisively when its in the most danger..
Face what? The fact that West is on the brink of total loss in its war against Syria? What do you want us to do? Attack western countries first?
Jumping to preliminary conclusion doesn’t help my friend. Ma Laoshi is accusing Putin for something that is yet to happen – smoke and mirrors. While on the ground SAA is steadily turning the Syrian map in red color.
“Attack western countries first?” I am not sure why you are even asking this question. I have never seem anyone here suggesting this.
Question: If American, France and the UK is to attack Syrian forces in a major attack on Syria, what do you envision the Russians doing?
By attacking western counties first, he I speaking of effective action, not nuanced strikes for political effect, war is serious business and not a game.
As a Russian sitizen I say that we should strike back. We are ready to fight and die if that’s nesessary. We know what war is. Americans don’t know what it is.
Cherchil was a snakehead but that time he told the truth – Nation that chooses shame vs war will get shame and war. (sorry for weird reverse translation)
You may be ready, but is your government? And before we jump into the fire on all sides, surely it’d be better to *deter* a major war? Am I right that Putin Jr. is still living the good life on NATO territory, and the same for many other golden youth? Russia is facing a powerful, amoral, and intelligent enemy that assesses such data points, and may well conclude from them that say taking out the Syrian Air Force is something they can get away with.
Putin jr.? Now may I ask for some factual data?
As always there are two sides, and as always, we will see. But already, the Empire has scored a major ideological point that the only potential issue is killing Russians in Syria. Killing Syrians in Syria, however, is conceded by the Kremlin to be a fair sport for all comers. A rather different set of rules than is applied for Jordan, France, Japan, etc.
The only Danger that I can see: is the Danger that Russia & China turn out to be part of this Evil Western Psychopathic Plan to Conquer the World…as long as they are not… Great!
The Syrian government footprint grows every day. The nuisance strike by the baby rapers has zero effect on that, same goes for Trumps WWF stunt last year. Any US strike on Syria could result in reciprocal strikes and advances east of the river.
It will be the Russians themselves that do the Fighting….Everyone is talkin’ about Putin, now that is a real War of Deception! No one is thinkin’ about those Millions of Russians…Europe will not going to like it that’s for sure..But Putin is comin’ with an AK-47 in his hand…Castro Style..Mao Zedong as Che Guevara..we will send in our Quick Reaction Force…case closed…People in the West seen to many Clint Eastwood & Arnold Schwarzeneggert movies….that’s their problem…I know people of the West…most of’m are Loudmouthed Cowards.. they Rent Headchopping-Mercenaries because they are too afraid to Die themselves!!!
If Trump wants to see Americans die east of the river and on the Jordan border. Hitting Syria may bring that about.
It’s about time for Trump to leave Syria…. His words or any of those American Politicians aren’t makin’ any impression…Loudmouthed Fools on the Leash of Israhell…it’s nothing but a sheer embarrassment..Pieces of the Tower of Babel falling Left & Right..
that Tornado jet are an easy target for Russian&Syrian air defense…I remember that brits, saudis and Italy lost 9 of them in the first gulf war in a few days!
Brits have 2 bases in Cyprus (Acrotiri and Dhekelia) 109 km from deployed SAA Bastion P missile( 300km range supersonic speed) or ballistic Tochka scarab!…beside Tornado fighter jet is an easy target for air defense!
Tony Blair, who took us into the Ira War, running the same script, using exactly the same characters and faces, demands they bypass Parliament, and action without a vote. Did we learn nothing, from Iraq.
No declaration of war.
No UN authorisation
No invite, from the sovereign nation to invade.
2 possible theories, as to why they are desperate:
Russia controls Douma, guarantees impartial investigation; that makes US attack MORE likely
US likely to launch strike because with Russia controlling Douma it risks losing control of the narrative.. http://theduran.com/russia-controls-douma-guarantees-impartial-investigation-us-attack-more-likely/
https://vimeo.com/263728681
Syria is NOT Libya.
This isn’t punishment for a highly questionable gas attack. It’s punishment for Syria and it’s allies winning the war. US and UK elites have mistaken Putin’s forbearance for weakness. They will live to regret it.
