“The danger of war has never been higher since the Second World War. Why are there no peace marches, appeals for peace in the media, as in the fifties and sixties? The US networks, which have turned Trump and caused a war incident or at least used it, may be strong enough to incite a third world war. 70 years of peace have obviously made us too careless. But my fear of a war is now greater than my fear of a crash.”
The world was surprised when US President Trump ordered the US-Mediterranean fleet to bombard a Syrian airfield. Up to that time, Trump had been regarded as a guarantor of peace, unlike Clinton, who promised war in Syria and Ukraine during her election campaign. There are internal political reasons for the fact that Trump so suddenly veered:
We may have believed that after Trump’s victory we had become more secure from a US military adventure, but recent weeks have effected a reversal, as the domestic political aggressions of the war mongers seem so powerful that Trump must follow where they lead and that there is yet again an immediate threat of war to the world emanating from the US and its Nato.
So far, it has not been proven who ordered the poison gas attack, whether it was Assad – as the Americans claim – or the US-led rebels – as the Russians assert. It could be a parallel to the war on Iraq that the instigators behind the scenes drove their president into action immediately and were also able to impel the European satellite governments led by Merkel to pledge their allegiance and to condemn Assad at once, before any evidence was presented (False flag action).
