[Peace-discuss] Fwd: URGENT: Trump launched U.S. airstrike in Syria/and who to blame?

Fri Apr 7 12:17:49 UTC 2017

An obvious a propaganda piece against Syria, Iran and Russia.

Let’s examine the statements: First we have a paragraph making unsubstantiated claims of “who was behind the chemical attacks” vilifying Assad after accusing him of being the culprit, then we label it a “civil war” in Syria, convincing everyone that it is a civil war, rather than the terrorist groups supported by the Saudi’s and therefore the US.

We have some very positive statements within “such as we need to stop the killing, we need to support more refugees” etc.”

Then we have the latter two statements #3 and 4, calling for
“isolation of Syria at the UN, and sanctioning Russia and other nations enabling the Syrian government." These two statements provide the ultimate goal of the western powers and Israel. They proof our goal of “forget all diplomacy”, and they support more provocations against Russia, which hurt many people throughout Europe.

Remember Orwell’s 1984? This is the way our government,  “ move on.org<http://on.org>” represents the Democrat position, and others within our government, and the way they manipulate the public.

I suggest we do take on the Trump regime at this time, we should be out in the streets organizing and protesting, against any bombing of Syria, by our much hated President, who like every other President is merely a puppet of the elites/Deep State/establishment.

We are supposed to be an anti-war group of peace lovers, lets prove it, lets have a protest against war on Sunday, I’m open to time and place.

The U.S. cannot bomb its way to peace, but it does have an essential role to play in the world, including 1) welcoming increased numbers of refugees fleeing Syria, 2) fully supporting international relief efforts for those most affected by this brutal civil war, 3) engaging in multilateral diplomacy at the United Nations to isolate Syria, and 4) sanctioning Russia and other nations which enable the Assad regime.

It's up to MoveOn members to lead a chorus of people in every corner of this nation saying NO to bombing the people of Syria.

Dear MoveOn member,

News is breaking that Donald Trump just ordered the launch of dozens of Tomahawk missiles to strike Syria.1

It's an illegal and unauthorized escalation that could have devastating consequences, killing innocent Syrians and costing the lives of U.S. service members.

Things could spiral quickly in the coming hours, and it's up to MoveOn members to lead a chorus of progressives in every corner of this nation saying NO to bombing the people of Syria.

Will you sign an emergency petition to Congress right now?<http://act.moveon.org/go/9361?t=1&akid=180935.9794638.e4Brxn>

Congress must force consideration of an Authorization for Use of Military Force, and members of Congress should vote "no" and halt Trump's march toward war.

Let's be clear: There's no doubt that Bashar Assad is a brutal dictator who has slaughtered his own people and is complicit in the use of chemical weapons. But this is no humanitarian mission. These are missiles ordered by a flailing president with plummeting approval ratings, trying to show how "tough" he can be. The result will likely be increased suffering for the Syrian people. And this unilateral U.S. attack could possibly even draw in Russia and Iran, which have been close partners of the Assad regime.

The U.S. cannot bomb its way to peace, but it does have an essential role to play in the world, including 1) welcoming increased numbers of refugees fleeing Syria, 2) fully supporting international relief efforts for those most affected by this brutal civil war, 3) engaging in multilateral diplomacy at the United Nations to isolate Syria, and 4) sanctioning Russia and other nations which enable the Assad regime.

But none of this will be possible unless we first halt Trump's march toward war.

Thanks for all you do.
