As we sit on the edge of potential disaster with this Syria situation, we’re suffering from something of a lack of information. We have to speculate and extrapolate based on limited knowledge of what’s going on.
So in this sense, it’s valuable to analyze the Department of Defense’s latest press conference (as of April 11th), which can potentially give us some insights as to what’s going on in the White House.
General Mattis seems intent, throughout the conference, in emphasizing that the strike on the air base was not in any way a change in policy for the Trump administration. He repeats over and over that it’s an isolated incident completely unrelated to the broader strategy in the Syrian conflict.
He also repeated that the goal of the United States was the defeat of ISIS, and not a regime change in Syria. That’s in stark contrast to all the neocon rhetoric we’ve been hearing in the past few days coming from the likes of McMaster and Randhawa, and it’s definitely a good sign.
The questions he received are also interesting, both for seeing what kind of agenda the media is trying to push, and what the administration’s current stated positions are (or, at least what his perception of the administration’s current positions are – we’re seeing a lot of different positions here).
When asked about the possibility that Russia was complicit in the “gas baby” nonsense, he refused to throw around any accusations. That’s also a good sign. Obviously, the bloodthirsty kikes are strongly pushing for war against Russia, and so have repeated the notion that Russia must also be “punished” for the gassings.
Unexpectedly, someone asked Mattis why a gas attack warranted a military response while regular bombs didn’t. He basically said “muh international law,” which is obviously a cop-out, since no one one cares about that – especially not America, or Trump for that matter. The 59 Tomahawk missile strike was itself a violation of international law.
It’s well known that only Jews worry about gassings.
But the question indicates a new weird media narrative, in which they recognize that dead people don’t care if they died of bombings or gassings, yet use the supposed difference between the two to push for absurd radical action. Now that the foot is in the door on attacking Syria, they’re arguing that in fact they aren’t any different, and any time the Syria government kills anyone they should be attacked. This is so stupid that it’s hard to even formulate a answer to it. By this logic, police officers are also war criminals for shooting violent perps.
“The US must use military force against all states that crack down on terrorists” is not a coherent, defensible narrative.
What was also interesting is that a journalist asked pointed questions about the overall situation and it’s potential for “spiraling out of control.” The journalist specifically mentioned the risk of nuclear war with Russia.
Uh, let’s take it easy here, guys, okay?
Mattis said that there was no chance of this happening because they kept steady communications with the Russian military and that everything was under control.
The overall message Mattis was trying to push during the conference was that everything is fine, that there was no change in policies over anything and that the Syrian missile strike was just some small warning that was completely isolated from everything else.
Of course, it’s very difficult to take that at face value, because the rationale for the strike is completely ridiculous, and no one with a few functioning neurons takes it seriously.
But it’s still a good thing that they’re pushing this message, since it means that the administration isn’t looking to escalate things further – for now.
