The UN Security Council has degenerated into a bunch of liars and hypocrites
On April 9, at 22.00 Moscow time, a special meeting of the permanent and temporary members of the UN Security Council, convened at the initiative of Russia, was held in New York to discuss the threat to peace and security directly related to the new escalation of the conflict in Syria.
The meeting was preceded by several events. Firstly, this is Trump’s waving of a club and personal insults to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Secondly, the exodus of 8000 militants from the terrorist group Jaysh al-Islam from the city of Douma adjacent to Damascus and a possible provocation with a chemical attack against civilians, supported by the collective West. Thirdly, a night raid and missile attack on the Syrian Tifor airbase by Israeli aircraft from Lebanese airspace.
The UN Security Council meeting promised to be difficult. That's how it became.
As last time, the meeting was chaired by the permanent representative of Peru to the Security Council, with Vasily Nebenzya speaking from the Russian side.
So, briefly about the most important thing.
UN Envoy to Syria de Mistura, via video link from Geneva:
The world is on the edge of confrontation. The March truce in Syria was a merit of the UN, but after the mission left, everything started to turn around again...
Calls to the permanent members of the Security Council to unite and jointly solve emerging problems, adhering to the UN Charter and their own resolutions.
He talks about the staged film of the “White Helmets” about the “chemical attack” against women and children of the Duma during the withdrawal of militants as a fait accompli, but still mentions the negative position of Syria and talks about a possible provocation. A thorough investigation is necessary.
There is a lot of talk about the tragedy of the civilian population and demands to “not allow this to happen in the future.”
UN Deputy High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Thomas Markram:
On a blue eye reports 49 dead and more than 500 injured as a result of the “gas attack” in Duma. There are many general words about the suffering of the civilian population of Syria. Requires an investigation with the participation of the OPCW.
During Markram's speech, everyone is writing something down and only US Permanent Representative Nicky Haley sits with a bored look.
From Russia Vasily Nebenzya:
Washington, London, Paris have set a course for aggravating the situation in Syria and for confrontation with Syria and Russia, pushing other countries along this path. For the sake of this, they do not hesitate to use any lies, dirt and defamation.
“Even during the Cold War, such dirty tricks were not used between warring parties.”
“The US is conducting soulless political experiments in the Middle East.” At the same time, Washington completely lacks a coherent strategy. The US administration is directly accused of financing, training and sending terrorists to Syria.
The goal of the United States and its “six” is to maintain terrorist hotbeds within firing distance of Damascus. The withdrawal of Jaysh al-Islam groups with the participation of the Russian Center for Reconciliation is not beneficial to the West and therefore a provocation was staged. The example of the positive dynamics of eastern Ghouta does not please the West at all. Russia is taking serious security measures and providing guarantees to militants leaving the city. The penetration of suicide bombers with explosives into buses leaving the city was prevented.
In places abandoned by militants, Russian and Syrian troops are finding the latest Western medicines and food products, which during the day cannot be found in other areas of Damascus and areas of Syria controlled by the legitimate government.
The militants were preparing for a provocation and on April 7 accused government troops of dumping a barrel of chemical agents - either chlorine, or a nerve toxin, or a mixed effect. Rumors are quickly picked up and spread by “independent activists”, like provocateurs on the payroll of the White Helmets. In the Western media, information from provocateurs receives most favored nation treatment.
Further, Vasily Nebenzya cites a number of facts, naming the time and place where warehouses and even laboratories for synthesizing and equipping homemade ammunition with chemical agents were discovered on the territory abandoned by the terrorists. Chlorine-containing chemicals and equipment made in Germany were found in a number of laboratories.
An example of a fake created specifically for the events in the Duma is given. “Opposition” journalist Assad Atkhana, entrenched in Istanbul, spread via Twitter “incriminating video evidence” of a bomb with an explosive agent hitting one of the apartments in Duma.
The fake was crudely made: the bomb that broke through the roof of the house lay like a hog on the wooden bed, without damaging it at all. A provocateur from the White Helmets poses next to the bomb.
“The chemical provocation in the Duma occurred immediately after the American delegation to the UN Security Council received instructions to meet on Monday, April 9, to discuss its own draft resolution on investigating incidents with chemical weapons. Far-reaching changes have been made to the original text."
“It is necessary to understand these murky circumstances, not forgetting the presumption of innocence.”
After the withdrawal of the Jabhad al-Islam militants, a group of Russian radiation-chemical-biological protection specialists was sent to Duma to collect data. The samples taken showed a complete absence of nerve agents and chlorine-containing agents. Local residents and doctors from the Syrian Red Crescent did not confirm a chemical attack. No one went to the hospital with symptoms of chemical damage, and no burials with victims of the attack were found. Doctors from the Red Crescent Society deny information allegedly disseminated on their behalf about a chemical attack and numerous victims.
“You don’t need any resolutions to visit the OPCW Duma - let them go and investigate the situation. The Russian side will ensure their safety.”
“Russia and Syria have long warned members of the Security Council about impending provocations with the use of chemical weapons in Syria, but this did not find a response from their Western “partners.”
“According to information received, in the Attan camp, American instructors trained a group of militants aimed at organizing provocations using explosive agents in order to have a pretext for striking Syrian government troops.”
Washington's ears are also focused on last year's chemical attack in Khan Sheikhoun. The operation in the Duma is also a distraction from the “Skripal case,” in which Western puppet masters are entangled.
The last squeak from British intelligence is a “radio interception” from Damascus to Moscow: “Parcel delivered. Two people left successfully.” The British sold this bullshit to their NATO allies as “deadly evidence.”
“This is some kind of squalor!”
Response to Nicky Haley's statement that there can be no friendship between the United States and Russia: “We are not trying to be your friends. We just want normal, civilized relations, which you arrogantly deny us. However, you have no friends. Your “friends” are those who cannot say no to you.
“It is necessary to send a special UN commission to Raqqa, which was wiped off the face of the earth by US carpet bombing. Otherwise, Western “partners” are blurring the proceedings on this issue.”
Netherlands: the permanent representative immediately begins to lie about the anniversary of the “sarin attack in Khan Sheikhoun.” “The same thing happened in the Duma.” “Russia is pandering to its Syrian ally.
USA: Niki Haley spares no effort and color to manipulate emotions. Zero facts. There is a long and tedious retelling of a stupid horror film filmed by the White Helmets. They savor the corpses, foam at the mouth and the suffering of civilians. “I could show you the video.” “I could show you the pictures.” "Only a monster could do this."
Carried away by her own trills, Nicky Haley makes a diplomatic blunder, revealing the quarrelsomeness of the hack from the communal kitchen: “The Russian regime - it also has the blood of Syrian children on its hands. And he is not ashamed of these shots. Iranian forces do the rest of the dirty work."
Waterfalls, geysers of moralizing snot, worthy of some educator from the guard of “blue stockings”.
“The US will react and will not harm Syrian children!”
France: The permanent representative is simply disgusting in his servility. General Charles de Gaulle is spinning like a propeller in his grave.
Sucks the White Helmets fake. “Everything is clear to us - there was a chemical attack, they used chlorine as an agent. We observed the symptoms ourselves on video.” In selfless lies, he falls into complete lameness, talking about some kind of “nerve chlorine”. There is no doubt who is behind the attack. “Only the Syrian armed forces and their allies could synthesize such a complex toxin.” “Syria is lying that it has destroyed all its chemical weapons and precursors.” “The civilized world will no longer stand by and watch the use of chemical weapons.”
Great Britain: the aunt representing it, who last time got hit with cabbage soup with an apt quote from “Alice in Wonderland,” is all meekness and humility. At first.
Let's be horrified together! Everything is clear to us!
The lightest pebble addressed to the Russian permanent representative: “This is not a cold war. During the Cold War there was no such cynical use of weapons of mass destruction! Korea and Vietnam send greetings to Madame British Permanent Representative to the UN, along with a canister of napalm, a bag of plague fleas and an aircraft tank full of “orange reagent” containing dioxin. So that sclerosis is not selective.
“Russia and Iran are the source of the war in Syria.”
All Western permanent representatives are confused in their testimony: either two, or four, or all six episodes of the use of chemical weapons in Syria during the war.
Britain's Permanent Representative graciously attributes two chemical weapons incidents to ISIS.
The further into the forest, the more London fog: either my aunt knows who sprayed the gas in the Duma, or she does not. And avalanches of moral superiority.
To the Russian Permanent Representative: “Britain and its people are friends of the USA!”
Reminded me of the old joke “The Bulgarian elephant is the best friend and ally of the Soviet elephant!”
China: a calibrated neutral position without the slightest support from either side, but playing into Russia’s hands.
Condemnation of any use of chemical weapons, especially against civilians. For an investigation with the involvement of the OPCW, for a political settlement of the Syrian conflict. The fight against terrorism is necessary. Syria must maintain its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Sweden: in general, is impressed by the fake video of the White Helmets. Officially horrified by the use of chemical weapons in Syria. He does not name specific culprits and advocates an investigation with the participation of the OPCW.
Poland: the Duma has no doubts about the information about the chemical attack. I liked the movie. Russia and Iran must quickly end the war in Syria and prevent the use of chemical weapons again. Advocates for an independent investigation.
Ethiopia: we lost sleep and appetite from the horror of what we saw! Chemical weapons - immediately ban forever, punish those responsible!
Cote d'Ivoire: we are scared too! Whoever uses chemical weapons is very bad!
Kazakhstan: the UN Security Council is in trouble! Stop immediately and go about your business. “Where are the reliable sources of information? The White Helmets are not like that. Russia denies information about a chemical attack in the Duma - we need to check! Syria has repeatedly reported that terrorists have chemical weapons - has anyone listened to it? Send OPCW to the Duma immediately!”
Kuwait: The Middle East has been a mess lately! It became scary to live! Let's get on with the investigation and stop the squabbling in the Security Council!
Bolivia: no one really knows what happened there in this Duma. We need to look into it impartially and stop politicizing the problem!
Peru: officially shudders and demands an urgent investigation into the incident.
Russia: We have three comments.
- Nicky Haley is being asked for the second time to refrain from using the term “regime” when referring to any legitimate government. And especially to Russia. In the event of another similar incident, the meeting will be interrupted.
- To the UK Permanent Representative: please provide more details about the investigation into the Salisbury incident. They say that the victims of the deadly poison are alive and almost healthy, but for some reason no one has seen them. Russia fears for the lives of these important witnesses. The CIA's involvement in hiding the Skripals on US soil is remarkable in itself.
- We are being pushed to a dangerous point by irresponsible Western politicians. Nobody wants to hear about the real events in the Duma; everyone is clinging to the fake film of the “White Helmets”. Urgently send the OPCW to carry out investigative measures, we guarantee safety!
Great Britain: as soon as we have information, we will immediately share it with members of the Security Council. Britain is a party to the treaty banning chemical weapons, unlike some...
Syria: before the permanent representative's speech, many participants in the hearing stand up and leave the meeting room.
Russia was accused of wasting resources on Syria. What is the US spending its resources on in Syria? During the years of conflict, no one saw any good from America in Syria. Where is the milk and food for the Syrian children for whom Nicky Haley’s heart ached? So far, everyone has seen the supply of terrorists.
The American permanent representative from the UN rostrum constantly threatens Syria with the use of military force. It turns out that the United States did not care about the Security Council, the UN and international laws.
Syria does not stoop to petty revenge against the “American regime.”
To test the US administration for lice, let it publish the report of the Hans Blix commission on the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, which were never found. Why did the UN classify the report for 2008 years in 60 and lock it in a sealed metal box?
Why did almost everyone abruptly forget about the latest Israeli air force attack on a Syrian air base? Even de Mistura’s memory was sharply impaired, although the fact of the raid was confirmed in the media by the Israeli prime minister. Are you cultivating a sense of impunity in Israel?
Israeli aggression is a reaction to the successes of the Syrian army in liberating more and more areas of the country from terrorists.
“Some members of the UN Security Council became professional liars, through whose fault many wars and conflicts were unleashed.”
“On April 7, Pentagon chief Mattis, in an interview with Newsweek, stated that the legitimate Syrian government was completely uninvolved in attacks on Syrian civilians.” “At least you can come to an agreement among yourselves.”
“The USA, Great Britain, France are the main warmongers and patrons of terrorists.”
“Syria sent 145 letters warning about the presence of chemical weapons among terrorists. Have any Westerners read them?”
Why is it that in all the films that Western permanent representatives refer to, only women and children suffer from chemical weapons, but not terrorists? Do they have immunity?
Syria officially accuses the United States, France, Great Britain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey of transferring chemical agents and their components to terrorists from the Al-Nusra Front and Jaysh al-Islam.
With this, the meeting came to an end. It was obvious how the US permanent representative and the “group of friends” were dancing to Trump’s tune. With the exception of Russia and Kazakhstan, no one wanted to face the facts directly: on April 7 there was no chemical attack in Douma and Syria has long since had no chemical weapons or precursors destroyed by the Americans in the Mediterranean on a special ship. There is a premonition of the development of events according to the 1914 scenario. All that remains is to shoot the Archduke.
