The author of this article does not have a single clue to what he/she is talking about. Not on international law, or US Constitutional law or being able to justify Assad’s killing of 1/2 million people of Syria, his own people. There is no justification for that! Since Obama was negligent to pursue the red line that he drew with Assad initially, things escalated, and of course Pres. Trump had to stop the lunacy that was taking place in Syria. May be more people hold listen to Fox News to get the true information, not biased and fake news from elslewhere.
“The author of this article does not have a single clue to what he/she is talking about.” Russian Troops and China’s troops had trained with the US Troops on American soil. That is an act of war when foreign troops enter another country. But since the particular authorities of the U.N. does not abide by the U.N.Regulations, the U.S. Presidents has continued to use NATO to act as the World Authority! But so does Russia! As Israel government (‘J’ DNA), continues a race war against the Adamic ‘R’ DNA Sunni by exterminating the ‘R’ Palestinians and so does ISIS, USA, Russia’s Cimmerians ‘J’, China ‘J’ naga, Saudi Arabia ‘J’ Shi’ite gov., Turkey’s Shi’ite ‘J’, Azerbaijan Shi’ite/jew, Iran Shi’ite ‘J’government, including governments of Iraq Shi’ite gov., Pakistan Shi’ite gov. All have been exterminating the R1a DNA (Adamic-Arian) Sunni-Armenian-Ukraine ‘R1a’ DNA race!
Mr. Sassounian,
One tends to agree with lot of the arguments you bring in your article that Assad had no reasons to use chemical weapons, but you do not bring any facts to back up your arguments, you just bring your opinion. When an action is taken by someone does not make sense, such as President Trump’s action, I believe there is an alterior motive, which needs to be exposed. For example, refer to your statement, in your above article, about Turkey’s action to bring the US into the conflict zone, and Obama found out did not bite.
Syria keeps saying it has no chemicals and yet that has been proven untrue. keep throwing FOX into this, does that show intellectual discussion? Or biased reporting. he notified Russian as well as others, because they (US) were not inflicting war on people, just trying to bomb out the facilities, so as to prevent future chemical attacks. Why not report on how under previous administration, Christians were denied entry to US by US Embassy. Armenians, make up your minds. Our ambassador at the UN has stated plainly, the UN needs to do its job, which it has NOT done. all I get out of this article is, hatred towards Trump & FOX news, not accurate reporting.
Thank you Mr. H. Sassounian,
I whole heartedly agree with your analysis. And yes, all the reasons you brought to light is the exact truth. The problem with all the three negative comments I read is the following:
Armenians who were here in the US for a long time do not understand the ramifications and the politics of the middle east. Their way of thinking is built upon western perception and American media vision. With all respect to all, those who are born here, and never lived or seen the middle east, such as Syria, will never understand the implications and the way of life of the other world. The demography of Syria does not look like any territory in the US. The people of Syria don’t think , don’t live, and don’t eat like we do here in the US. Their mentality and their culture is theirs and not ours. You can not compare them to us. They live and love their way of life, and we live and love our own. Live and let live. That is their life that they are used to for thousands of years. Now, you want to change them and bring them close to yours? That is impossible. Look what we did in Iraq, …. what was the final outcome, do you know?!! That is a recipe for failure and disaster. I believe that we need a brain revolution here in the U.S. and not be brain washed by the media, the TV, the Radio, the Newspapers and those who like to corrupt the new generation.
Armenians everywhere have to take this matter very seriously. Just to educate few readers, let me remind you that Syria is home to many Armenians. Aleppo, FYI is HALEB, is the capital of Armenians in Syria. Haleb, is where Armenians found refuge when they escaped from the FIRST HOLOCAUST of the twentieth century. Don’t you forget it!! Hafez el Assad, and Basshar el Assad took good care of all Armenians. Armenians enjoyed life and nourished and flourished living under the ASSADs regimes. No problem living with Syrians, whether they were Moslems or Christians. Yes, I know it. You guys don’t know the truth. You guys are alienated from the truth. My parents came from there, and they still are proud of that city and of Syria. America must take care of itself and be strong inside. America should not do the dirty work for other countries while putting our brothers and sisters in harm way. America should do what is good for America and try to be friends with all countries specially Syria and other Arab countries. Keep in mind, ISIS are not moslems, moslems don’t preach killing of the innocents. So, don’t look from outside, but go inside, see and feel and then come back and teach me the truth.
Don’t encourage killing Armenians in Aleppo. Got it!!!!
Thank you Mr.M.Benlian,
Your analysis was complete, precise and balanced. Because you know and understand both worlds. Unfortunately reality or truth don’t matter as we have learned throughout history. What matters only is political and economic interests.
