To hear the Obama Administration tell it, the whole world is on board with a war in Syria, and it is only Russian mean-spiritedness that is keeping the UN from endorsing the US attack.
Like the rest of the narrative, that position is on very shaky ground, however, as President Obama arrived for the G20 summit and faced myriad statements of opposition from around the world, including the European Union, the United Nations, and BRICS, as well as Russia and China.
Secretary of State John Kerry has been claiming a broad coalition of supporters for the war, but it’s becoming increasingly apparent that this secret coalition amounts to little more than Saudi Arabia and its satellites.
Even France, repeatedly presented as on board, is dramatically less-so than advertised. President Francois Hollande remains pro-war, but much as with Obama is finding some major opposition in its parliament, and could quickly be going down the British path of having to bail out in the face of that opposition.
It's high time that we get rid of our self appointed, neo-feudal lord, who like to drag everyone off to war.
By beheading would be the obvious choice.
Next in line would be the scum that supply the weapons for said wars.
It is also worth noting that US media have essentially refused to report the recent UNASUR meeting in which all 11 South American member nations of UNASUR agreed to a resolution opposing any military strike against Syria not authorized by the UN Security Council. Our US media have likewise failed to report that with the exception of Guatemala and (maybe) Canada, the US has no support in the entire Western Hemisphere for its proposed attack on Syria.
