"Harry Truman" approached Syria "not for" the terrorists

3
Like supposed to, the American aircraft carrier Harry Truman, along with his escort team, was left in the Mediterranean Sea, although according to the plan he was supposed to head to the Persian Gulf. Moreover, the carrier group, according to the press service of the US Navy, began to strike at Syria.





At the moment, we are talking about the fact that these airstrikes are directed against the militants of the Islamic State (ISIS, an organization banned in Russia). The coalition operation led by the United States against IG “Unshakable Determination” - the air group joined on May 3. Strikes are from the eastern Mediterranean

- said the press service of the US Navy.

According to the flotilla commander, Rear Admiral Gene Black, this operation is designed to eliminate the threat that IS militants pose to the entire world community. In addition to the aircraft carrier itself, the group includes the cruiser Normandy and four destroyers.

Previously, the Pentagon assured that the "Harry Truman" campaign is planned (that is, it will go to the Persian Gulf). Then, the US defense department refused to comment on the information appeared in the press that the aircraft carrier, along with the ships accompanying it, would remain in the Mediterranean Sea. And now we are talking about attacks on Syria.

True, while they are applied according to the Islamists. But, firstly, even such US participation in the Syrian war is contrary to international law and the UN Charter. Since Syria did not call these “guests” to itself, and the UN Security Council did not make decisions regarding Operation “Unshakable Determination”.

Secondly, if the declared US goals coincided with the real ones, one could breathe out calmly, but the fact of the matter is that they do not coincide. And can it really, seriously fight against the "Islamic State" the very force that has largely contributed to the creation and strengthening of this terrorist organization?

With these airstrikes, civilians die and cities collapse (the American-wide operation to "liberate" the city of Raqqa from the Islamic State led to the fact that it was virtually wiped off the face of the earth).

And the most insidious one is that the coalition, which claims that it is not fighting against the Syrian army, but against the Islamic State, has actually repeatedly attacked the Syrian Armed Forces and its allies. Including, according to the citizens of Russia (as it was on February 7 of the current year near the village of Hisham in the province of Deir ez-Zor).

Depending on the political conjuncture, these acts of aggression were presented either as an “accident” or as a deliberate “punishment” of Syria for the use of chemical weapons.

And in the conditions when the Syrian intelligence services discovered preparation of a new provocation - similar to the one that took place in the city of Duma on April 7 - the presence of such a powerful aircraft carrier group in the Mediterranean Sea involuntarily makes one wonder: why is it there? Is it accurate to drive bearded savages with machine guns across the Syrian desert? Unfortunately, a completely different, disappointing answer suggests itself.

    The broken one is itching to ... The scenario is the same. The chemical weapons, which Assad, with the stubbornness of a sexual maniac, "uses and applies" everything, will serve as a pretext for a MASSIVE cruise missile strike, 4-5 times more massive than the previous failed one.

    Harry Truman was a so-so human. As you name a ship, it will sail. It wouldn’t be a flood, a buryman, overnight, off the Syrian coast.
