"Those who use sarin, can't escape justice," wrote Bobby Ghosh, seething with righteous indignation about the use of sarin on rebel troops in Khan Shaykhun. Russia and the Syrian government have said that a bomb hit a warehouse where rebels were storing chemical weapons. That has been dismissed as ludicrous by the Western disinformation 'news channels'. Yesterday, the Syrian government claimed that a US bomb hit an ISIS chemical dump in Deir al-Zor province releasing a toxic gas that killed hundreds of civilians. One US colonel called it 'misinformation'. Exactly. So what is sarin? It is an organophosphorus compound which inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and leads to the body being flooded with acetylcholine, which transmits signals between nerves and muscles. Are all such compounds banned from production? No. These are used commonly as insecticides and one is available in India as Tik 20. The symptoms of suicides by our farmers sound suspiciously similar. It is not impossible that a bomb struck a warehouse storing pesticides which then poisoned anyone in the vicinity. Children would be particularly susceptible. Not everyone is buying the story of Assad's use of chemical weapons. At least one British journalist is highly sceptical. The UK and US pushed for more sanctions against Russia but this was rejected by other G7 nations, including Europe and Canada. British scientists in Turkey have suddenly found traces of sarin from blood and urine samples taken from victims. In 2015 Turkey shot down a Russian plane returning from a bombing mission against ISIS, because it had apparently strayed into Turkish airspace for 17 seconds. Turkeys' President Erdogan gambled on Nato's commitment to defend an attack on any member but Russia did not seek revenge. Instead Putin imposed economic sanctions on Turkey, forcing Erdogan to go crawling to Moscow. But why does Britain want a war between Russia and the US? Because Britain has still not adjusted to the loss of its empire. Today it is just a tiny island of some 60 million people which would be completely irrelevant without US support. On 5 December 1962, then Secretary of State, Dean Acheson said in a speech,"Great Britain lost an empire and has not found a role.""Great Britain, attempting to be a broker between the United States and Russia, has seemed to conduct policy as weak as its military power." Is it? The British Prime Minister is always the first to rush to Washington as soon as a new president in elected as Theresa May did in January, holding hands and repeating Churchill's bluff of a 'Special Relationship'. Britain started the canard about Trump's friendship with Putin. Why? Because if the US is friends with Russia it will be invincible and will discard Britain. Has Britain succeeded? Brilliantly. Trump and Putin are now almost enemies. Trump also gave his support for Nato. The US is not really independent, is it? Like India.
