Trump, Macron, May are the "animals", on par with Assad in terms of human rights violations

in #news7 years ago

In what seems like a surreal episode a-la Alice in Wonderland, the self-proclaimed "progressive" Western leaders shouted "of with his head!" as they raced, tripping and stumbling over one another, to launch unprovoked and illegal missile attacks against the Syrian nation.
There is no need for evidence, they claimed. Punish, bomb, kill first. Investigate later.

This ridiculous affront to human dignity, spearheaded by Donald Trump of the USA, Theresa May of Britain and Emmanuel Macron of France; was almost universally criticised by independent experts all across the board.
On an international level, representatives of the Russian Federation voiced their concern for the escalation of violence, stating that this provocation will set back the peace process by years. Lawmakers in the German Bundestag slammed the unilateral aggression from their Western partners as illegal under international law. Additionally, a UN expert on human rights called it a "crime of aggression"
On a national level, US Senator Bernie Sanders criticised his government's actions. Furthermore, concern was raised that the attack may have been unconstitutional under the country's own law. The UK opposition party, Labour, commissioned a legal analysis of the attacks, which found that they were illegal under UK law.

The context of this crime against humanity, in turn, looks like a scene from a crime-thriller (to continue the literary analogy). Western bureaucrats frantically scrambled to stop international investigators from reaching the site of alleged chemical attacks. Meanwhile, said missiles blew to bits even the prospect of finding evidence just one day before the investigators were set to arrive. However, as was expected, no evidence was found after all.

This means that the cheap pretences brought forward by the Western "humanitarians" were false. And now Trump, May and Macron stand with their pants down, figuratively speaking. Rather than Assad being an "animal" as Trump claimed in a tweet, it looks now that they themselves are the "animals".
