"President Putin is ready for such a meeting." 
However, the Russian Foreign Minister pointed out that the preparations for the Summit itself have not yet taken place.
"But if that is the case, once there is some development, we will certainly tell you about it, but I will only draw attention to the fact that Donald Trump, following this phone call, spoke several times in tweets and orally that issues should be resolved With Russia, we want to have good relations with Russia, and this is better than the lack of good relations, and the only fool is the one who thinks differently, all this we also hear.

Russian Foreign Ministry: The military strike against Damascus gives us the right to supply it with weapons

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova

The Russian Foreign Ministry said the tripartite aggression by the United States, France and Britain against Syria gave Moscow the right to supply Damascus with S-300 air defense systems.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova confirmed that Moscow has the moral responsibility to its Western partners not to hand over the S-300 systems to Syria, pointing out that Moscow took note of the proof used by these partners that exporting these weapons to Syria could lead to the destruction of stability, Defense systems exclusively, adding that after the tripartite aggression on Syria, Russia no longer bears any moral responsibilities to Washington and its allies in this area.

Russia: There is no reason not to supply Assad with the S-300 missile system

Khandan - 

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday that US air strikes in Syria have removed any moral obligation to prevent Russia from delivering the S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems to its ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. 

The Russian news agency quoted Lavrov as saying that before the US strikes on Syria's targets, Moscow had informed US officials of the Syrian regions, which are "red lines" for them, adding that the US military did not exceed these lines. 

He said he was convinced that President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump would not allow an armed confrontation between the two countries.

Lavrov: Putin is ready to meet Trump

Khandan -

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday that Russian President Vladimir Putin was "ready to meet" with his US counterpart Donald Trump, adding that there was no "preparation" for such a meeting. 

"Putin is ready for such a meeting," Lavrov told RIA Novosti in response to a question on whether the two presidents would meet, but made clear that such a meeting was "not yet in the making." 

"We are starting from the principle that the US president made a telephone call in this regard and was pleased to receive Putin at the White House and for a visit on a reciprocal visit," he said. 

"Since Trump is making the call, we expect it to be realized," Lavrov said.

Trump had proposed to Putin in a telephone call in March to hold a meeting at the White House, but the idea has not progressed since then in the atmosphere of tension associated with the poisoning of the former Russian spy Sergey Scrippal in Britain and the alleged chemical attack on Duma in Syria. 

"Trump was the one who proposed the meeting during the phone call," Kremlin adviser Vladimir Oshakov told reporters in early April. "Trump presented the meeting at the White House."

I would agree with this statement if Trump were a swamp dweller. But Trump doesn't see the world the way they do and I doubt that Trump would bomb anyone for such an objective. 

 This is one of the funniest statements I have read on this site in a long time. You crack me up. You should write for the clown news network.  Because we all know that trumps moral compass points to true north.  So I am giving you a thumbs up because your sarcasm was not lost on me.

Canada: "Feasible" Iraq and Syria are planning to launch chemical attacks

Bertha News Agency31 2018-04-21
5799bab717b1c.jpg
 
 

The return of elements calling on terrorists from Iraq and Syria to the country could pose a threat to chemical weapons because some elements know how to manufacture and use them in terrorist attacks, Canadian government documents published on Saturday warned.

"The organization of a terrorist advocate has repeatedly used chlorine and mustard gas in Syria and Iraq, raising the possibility of using it in Canada in attacks on the return of foreign terrorists to the country," the newspaper Global News reported in a report.

"Although the chemical attack in Canada seems remote, there is still a risk of terrorists returning to Canada after they have gained knowledge of the use of chemical weapons," she said.

"The case is one of the complexities facing the security services and the Canadian police, which are preparing to return those terrorists after their defeat in Iraq and Syria from Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda organizations. The federal government says that about 100 extremists left Canada to join terrorist groups and 60 of them returned after working with them there. "He said.

"Given the situation on the ground, the authorities expect more extremists to return in the next few months, including women and children," the documents said.

"The chances of a chemical weapons attack in Canada are very low because of strong domestic controls on the required materials and technology," the documents noted. "However, the use of a known toxicifier for commercially available toxic chemicals in attacks indicates the ability of the group to use any available means."

The head of the Syrian opposition delegation to the Geneva negotiations, Nasr Hariri, said on Thursday that blocking the entry of international inspectors into Syrian Duma dispels the evidence, noting that reconstruction in Syria can not take place before the political transition.

 

During a press conference for the Syrian negotiating body, Hariri warned against "a military operation by the Syrian regime in the south and another in the north under the pretext of fighting terrorism," welcoming "any international effort to implement the Geneva 1 statement."
 
"Iran is a rogue state and interferes in the affairs of other countries," he said.

Well this guy might not make the election.

" 

"Even after the end of the war, the United States, France and our allies will play an important role in creating a new Syria and ensuring that the decision to define this future will, of course, return to the Syrian people," McCron said.

During the interview, which took place before his upcoming visit to the United States, which includes a speech to members of the US Congress later this week, McCron confirmed that he would ask US lawmakers to extend the US military presence in Syria.

DAMASCUS, (SANA) - Syrian Prime Minister Nasser al-Hariri said on Monday that the United States can not allow its forces to leave Syrian territory because it has not achieved its goals in the Middle East.
In an interview with Reuters, Al-Ghad told Al-Gharab that "the organization is not yet invincible, so the presence of US forces is necessary."
"Fighting against Da'ash is the main priority of Washington, so he does not think about the possibility of the United States withdrawing its troops from Syria, because he has not been eliminated," he said.
The Syrian opposition stressed that "the only way to resolve the Syrian crisis is the political solution, which requires the departure of President Bashar al-Assad," adding that "requires an international agreement sponsored by America and Russia."
 
 He pointed out that "Moscow can not impose military control over the entire Syrian territory."

Maliki opens fire on Saudi Arabia and reveals a proposal to send the Iraqi army to Syria
 


 Twilight News

Iraqi Vice President Nuri al-Maliki has launched a sharp attack on Saudi Arabia, accusing it of influencing Iraqi elections scheduled for May 12. 
"His position on the Syrian crisis has provoked anger among many Arab countries against him," he said in an interview with the Al-Mayadin channel. He said he had told Arab countries that he was ready to send the Iraqi army to Syria for the failure of Damascus to fall into the hands of terrorists. 
"If America wants to withdraw itself from the Syrian crisis, it is unreasonable for Saudi Arabia to replace it," he said, wondering: "How does Saudi Arabia send troops to Syria and it is engulfed in the Yemeni predicament? 
"Sending the militants to Syria will face the fighters, and the crisis is a political solution," the Iraqi vice president told Saudis and Qataris.
Regarding the Saudi-Iraqi opening, al-Maliki said that "Saudi Arabia has not changed its vision towards Iraq and failed to overthrow the regime in Syria and Lebanon." 
"Riyadh believes that it can withdraw Iraq to its alliance, and that its impact is very large in the elections through the support of some blocks of money and media, and they imagine that they are able to penetrate the Iraqi arena, trying to open a consulate in Najaf and Basra and invitations to officials and elders. 
Maliki said that "Baghdad welcomes the termination of Saudi Arabia's sectarian behavior and support for terrorist organizations," noting that "the issue of moving away from the Arab Ocean is not really and his first foreign visit was to Riyadh in 2006." 
He stressed that "Baghdad wants positive relations with Iran as it wants with Saudi Arabia and Turkey on the basis of the interest of the state."

OPCW Finds No Chemical Weapons at Syrian Facilities Bombed by US - Russian MoD

Last week, the fact-finding mission of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) visited a site in the Damascus suburb of Douma to collect samples in connection with the alleged April 7 chemical attack.

Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the Russian General Staff Col. Gen. Sergey Rudskoy has announced that the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) had confirmed that there were no chemical weapons found at the Barzeh research center in Damascus despite the US officials' claims.

The official further noted that thousands of people could have died if there was any chemical weapon on the sites that were attacked by the US-led coalition.

"Immediately after the attacks, many people who worked at these destroyed facilities and just bystanders without any protective equipment visited them. None of them got poisoned with toxic agents," Rudskoy said.

He said the logic of strikes on alleged facilities with toxic agents in Syria was unclear, because if toxic agents had theoretically been stored there, tens of thousands of people would have died after the cruise missile strikes.

On US Airstrikes in Syria

Intelligence data shows that Osa, Kvadrat, Buk, Strela-10, Pantsir and S-125 air defense systems destroyed 46 cruise missiles during the recent US-led strikes on Syria, Rudskoy said, adding that only 13 of 76 reported Western airstrikes hit targets near the Barzah research center in Syria.

"Obtained intelligence data, objective control from air defense systems, work on the ground and the questioning of witnesses show that Pantsir, Osa, Strela-10, Buk, Kvadrat and S-125… destroyed 46 cruise missiles [in Syria]," Rudskoy said.

According to Rudskoy, most of the precision weapons were destroyed by the Soviet-era air defense systems developed 40 years ago, with S-125, Osa and Kvadrat among them.

According to the military official, Russian specialists are examining missiles of the US-led coalition, including Tomahawk, which were captured in Syria to improve Russian weapons.

"Two [missiles] including Tomahawk cruise missile and a high-precision aviation missile were delivered to Moscow… They are now being examined by our experts. The results of this work will be used to improve Russian weapons," he told a briefing.

At the same time, air defense expert of the Russian Defense Ministry Sergei Beznogih said that the Russian General Staff showed remains of cruise missiles downed by Syrian air defense systems to journalists.

"Elements of the sea-based US-made Tomahawk [missiles] and air-based UK-made and French-made SCALP and Storm Shadow [missiles] were displayed," Beznogih said.

Meanwhile, Col. Gen. Sergey Rudskoy noted that only seven western missiles struck the Syrian Han Shinshar facility, which allegedly housed chemical weapons, not 22 as the Pentagon claims.

The senior official stressed that chemical weapons were never developed or stored in Han Shinshar, located in the province of Homs, adding that the storage was struck twice, not seven times, as the US side claims.

"According to the statements of the Pentagon’s representatives, 22 missiles hit the above-ground facilities. We registered no more than seven hits, which is shown in the space image," he told a briefing.

Speaking further, Rudskoy noted that expensive "smart" US missiles only hit outbuildings in Syria which had nothing to do with the army.

"The expensive and so-called ‘smart’ missiles inflicted the greatest damage on outbuildings which had nothing to do with military activity," he told a briefing.

At the same time, according to the senior military official, Russia will supply new air defense systems to Syria in the near future.

"Russian specialists will continue training Syrian military personnel, and will assist in mastering new air defense systems, which will be supplied in the near future," Rudskoy said.

Earlier, reports have emerged about an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria, published by an online Syrian opposition news portals on April 7, claiming that a chemical attack took place in Syria in the city of Douma near Damascus.

Moscow has called the news reports about the attack "hoaxes" and warned against military attacks against Syrian areas where Russian troops are deployed.

The Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria representatives inspected the location of the alleged attack and questioned local doctors, who said that they had not received individuals with symptoms of any chemical poisoning.

However, despite the lack of evidence, the US, alongside France and the UK, launched a massive missile attack against Syria on April 14 in response to the alleged chemical attack in the city of Douma.

Trump: We hope to withdraw from Syria soon
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he wanted to withdraw US troops from Syria soon but not before completing their mission.
The US president said negotiations on the Syrian crisis should be part of a larger agreement on Iran. 
"We want to go home and we will go back, but we want to have a strong and lasting impact, and that was a very big part of our discussion," Trump told a joint news conference with French President Emmanuel Macaron at the White House. 
On Tuesday morning, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov questioned the United States intention to leave Syria, although Washington said it had plans in that regard. 
Lavrov told reporters in Beijing he hoped it would become clearer on how to cooperate to settle the Syrian issue after his contacts with his French counterpart

The US administration is seeking after Trump's statements about his intention to withdraw US forces from Syria to replace them with Arab forces, mostly from the Gulf states. This call was accepted by Saudi Arabia and other Gulf parties. The latter was greeted with disdain and anticipation by the Syrian state and its allies. And the refusal of Syria and the allies to call for form and content, not only Syria's sovereign right, but also because the US occupation is in fact contrary to international laws and the United States. United Nations Aq, for what appears to be the American alliance's alleged anti-terrorism coalition is suspected support of terrorist groups was not serious about fighting terrorism days.

The question is: What is behind this American proposal and its background and its dangers on the region and what are the American plans?

It seems, as many researchers think, that there is a strategic American blindness after the failure of most American plans in the undeclared war on the Syrian state, which is no longer local or regional, but constitutes an international conflict between superpowers and a confrontation between international hubs especially after the tripartite aggression that failed to achieve The objectives of the anti-Syrian forces, and perhaps changed the course of events for the benefit of Syria's allies, and thus the acceleration of America to move to new plans seems to be ill-considered and indicative of the American floundering, and the new American proposal to form an Arab military force believes that the American can be achieved is only illusions, To the high level between America and Saudi Arabia and the Israeli entity, they aim behind it to:

1 - implicating the countries of the region conflicts and wars may end the war between Saudi Arabia and with it and Iran and with them; because the entry of troops without the consent of Syria and with it the axis of resistance simply means a war will not keep and will not take place and through which the depletion of the region for years may be long, reminiscent of the Iraq war and Iran More disastrous for the entire region.

2 - looting the wealth of the region for the benefit of arms trade and factories and American and Western weapons companies in general.

3 - Raising ethnic and sectarian conflicts in the only winning war is America, the West and the Israeli entity, while the only loser is the peoples of the region. It will lead to the spread of Jihadist Salafism, terrorist movements and organizations, and their investment and support for the fragmentation of Arab and Islamic countries and the distortion of Islamic values through incitement and support so that the war will continue to re-map according to the Western colonial interests in its new form and to become the countries participating in the war can be divided on sectarian, The current national state.

The success of this American plan may be unlikely because of the events and developments that are not in the interest of the American people, with the rise of international forces that benefited from the American confusion during the previous seven years and after the decline of terrorism and the changes that occurred in the region after the American failure to overthrow the axis of resistance. Terrorism led by Russia and its successor China, and the exploitation of the US decline at the global level through the withdrawal of America from some organizations and the decline of US support for the forces of keeping order by 30% and the threat of withdrawal from the FTA and the failure of the US in many files States Russia's military technological progress, which forces the Americans to sit down at a round table to peer, accept a multipolar world, and the American, French and British conviction that the time of bullying is irreversible.

Therefore, it can be said that what the US administration is planning is not inevitable and can not be applied after all the changes and events taking place in the region, the world and in Syria in particular, and after the strategic and even tactical blindness in the world that American policy suffers from.

The presidents "talked a lot" about the need to intensify work on the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Syrians and the reconstruction of the country.
