USA sides with terrorists again

The US cruise missile strike on Syrian airbase indicated that the United States has once again jeopardised the already shaky security in the world. Can Donald Trump strike North Korea next? Many politicians and analysts believe that this can be possible. Pravda.Ru talked about it in an interview with chairman of the Federation Council Committee for Defense and Security, Viktor Ozerov.

“American authorities, television channels and the press are constantly pouring from empty to empty as if trying to justify themselves: terrible scenes, Assad’s bloody regime, chemical weapons, the regime must be swept away. What is Russia’s stance on all this?”

“Nobody has authorised me to state anything on behalf of the Russian Federation, but for any unbiased person it is clear that what the United States of America has done in Syria was an act of armed aggression. The United States did not have any reason to strike this blow against a member state of the United Nations. The Syrian Republic did not threaten the USA, nor did it intend to attack America in any way. Therefore, the United States of America could not resort to Article 51 of the UN Charter.

“There was no decision from the Security Council of the United Nations either, nor were there any other norms of international law to justify the attack. Therefore, all unbiased politicians and independent states in the world recognise the act of armed aggression.

“The Russian Federation, of course, demanded the situation should be considered at the UN Security Council. Of course, the UK, for instance, would have never condemned the USA. The UK will never accept Russia’s point of view on the subject either. Yet, an act of armed aggression was committed against a sovereign state without any legal grounds for it, so the platform where it should be discussed is the UN Security Council.

“The Americans claimed that they attacked Syria in response to the chemical attack, which, as they say, was conducted by the Syrian troops against terrorists, or armed opposition, as they call them. However, Syrian chemical weapons had been destroyed under the control of the IAEA. Russia once again proposed: let’s figure out who is to blame, given the fact that Russia has already had evidence to prove that terrorists used chemical weapons in Syria. However, we have not seen a response so far.
