The American public \u2014 even the strongest supporters of Donald Trump \u2014 is outraged that Trump of America, and Macron of France, and May of UK, intend a military invasion of Syria, in order to \u2018punish Assad for\u2019 a chemical attack that he might not even have done, and which might not even have happened at all as the invaders allege it to have happened.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Risking nuclear war against Russia, Syria\u2019s ally, on such flimsy basis, is considered, it seems, treasonous, even by Trump\u2019s voting-base.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For example, the Breitbart news-site is associated with Trump\u2019s campaign since the very start of Trump\u2019s efforts to win the U.S. Presidency, and its articles typically receive thousands or even tens of thousands of reader-comments. One of its lead stories on April 11th was “May Readies UK for Syria Strikes, Defies Strong Public Opposition\u201d<\/a> and it reports the polled two-to-one opposition by Brits against Prime Minister May\u2019s decision to join the U.S. invasion; and if one clicks \u201cSort by Best\u201d the top reader-comment \u2014 the one that received the highest net number of up-votes \u2014 is:<\/div>\n

May Readies UK for Syria Strikes, Defies Strong Public Opposition<\/i><\/div>\n
I have just rung up my MP’s office to express my opposition and outrage at what will certainly be a war criime should Britain go ahead with bombing the Syrians and killing yet more innocent people.<\/i><\/div>\n
It is a criminal and unjustifiable act using a completely bogus sham as an excuse.<\/i><\/div>\n
I hope everyone else will do the same, alternatively E mail and urgently..<\/i><\/div>\n
My MP, incidently, is a Tory.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, an overwhelmingly U.S. readership is most-strongly liking an anti-Trump, anti-May, comment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Another strongly pro-Trump readership is at the infowars site, and a main story there on April 11th was “REPORT: U.S. SET TO TARGET 70 DIFFERENT SITES IN SYRIA:<\/a> Including ones at which Russian troops are stationed,\u201d and the top reader-comment, and responses to it there, are even more informative about the passionate repudiation of Trump \u2014 and now of the U.S. Government itself \u2014 because of this:<\/div>\n

This is a total disaster. i would have voted for Hillary Clinton if I wanted this foreign policy. All due to what was almost certainly a false flag gas attack. Trump, the war advocates have played you like a fiddle.<\/i><\/div>\n

I wouldn’t have voted for Hillary under any circumstances, but I get it.\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n
“The City” in London has spoken to which our federal reserve and petro dollars are connected to…. War is what they need for profits and status quo.<\/i><\/div>\n
China is installing permanent bases in Pakistan… Add that to the mix.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
And these are core pro-Trump sites. Of course, anti-Trump sites are likely to be even more opposed to the U.S. Government than the pro-Trump ones are.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Therefore: it is now clear that the U.S. \u2014 like its allied Governments (such as UK) \u2014 is a dictatorship, which ignores even the most passionate of the public\u2019s priorities (in this case avoiding World War III \u2014 especially avoiding the precipitation of it on dubious or even bogus pretenses).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If, somehow, history continues much beyond this moment in time, then perhaps the main question will be: How did The West come to be controlled by fascists who are obsessed to conquer not only all of Russia\u2019s allies but also Russia itself? Did the spirit of Hitler and Mussolini become ultimately triumphant after FDR died, and how did this gradual takeover by fascism \u2014 this defeat of the spirit of FDR, and of the U.N. that he created<\/a> \u2014 actually happen?<\/div>\n
