Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon has recently joined together with the rest of those who are pointing the finger of blame at Russia and Assad for the chemical weapons attack that was alleged to have occurred in Syria just last week.

This weekend, Sir Michael directly called out the Kremlin for being responsible for those gas attacks by being the principal backer of the Assad regime. Sir Michael said that the gas attack was “barbaric, immoral, and illegal” and no doubt that it was.

But some might also have the same criticisms to offer when it comes to the UK's foreign policy over the last few decades.

Sir Michael said that he thought the retaliation that came with the 50+ strikes this week to the Syrian air base was the right call to make. And that's no surprise considering that First World leaders in the US and the UK have been pushing for regime change in Syria for quite some time now, well before Trump ever took office or even started running for President.

Let's Not Forget

It wasn't that long ago that Wikileaks released evidence which supported the notion that Western media had been colluding with the Obama administration to push for a regime change in Syria. They had been cooperating to support the same narrative again and again, every attack was always blamed on Assad; despite conflicting reports from independent journalists and investigators etc, suggesting otherwise on multiple occasions.

It's no secret that US lawmakers wanted ISIS to rise in the region and some reports even suggest that Western powers created, as well as continue to arm and fund these terror groups.

In a previously released recording by Wikileaks, in a meeting with Secretary of State John Kerry and members of the Syrian opposition, Kerry admitted that the primary goal of the previous administration had been to achieve regime change in Syria.

Western powers seem to already have their minds made up long ago that Assad can no longer be the leader of Syria and the military conflict will not stop there until he is gone.

The US government is even alleged to have intentionally attacked a Syrian government military convoy that was planning a strategic attack on IS.

Sir Michael has said that the UK cannot rule out the option of initiating more airstrikes in Syria--no surprise there. He called the recent retaliation attack from the Trump administration, a 'deterrent' that is supposed to have intimidated Assad enough to not use chemical weapons against his people.
