UK approves use of force against Syrian government
2018-04-13
[ALMASDARNEWS] According to a new statement from Downing Street, the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister and top-level advisers "agreed on the need to take action to alleviate humanitarian distress and to deter the further use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime."

"Following a discussion in which every member present made a contribution, Cabinet agreed it was vital that the use of chemical weapons did not go unchallenged," the UK Cabinet said Thursday.

Previously, Theresa May said that if it’s proven the Syrian government was behind the Douma chemical weapons, she will order the British military’s use of force in Syria.

The U.K. cabinet’s approval comes just hours after French President Emmanuel Macron stayed that his regime had proof the Syrian government was behind the chemical weapons attack in Douma.

#2  Say nothing more to the media, but forget Syria and the Russians for now. Dust off the target folders for Bomab, Ramsar, Parchin, Fordo, Arak, Isfahan, Natanz, and Bushehr.

Rubbleize each of these and again, say nothing.
