Переоценка угроз

[tijd.livejournal.com]

В декабре 2017 я написал про пять возможных будущих событий, которых следует опасаться.

Можно вернуться к этой дискуссии и взглянуть на список снова.

1. Ядерная война.

По первому пункту Трамп сделал первый шаг к пропасти, заменив Советника по национальной безопасности генерал-лейтенанта Макмастера на Джона Болтона. Свое последнее публичное выступление Макмастер делал в Музее Холокоста и посвятил ситуации в Сирии, включая критику путинского режима.

Sadly, Iran is not Assad’s only sponsor. Russia is also complicit in Assad’s atrocities.
The Russian government has bombed civilian areas and provided political cover for Assad’s crimes. Furthermore, Russia has done nothing to encourage Assad to ensure delivery of humanitarian aid, respect ceasefires and de-escalation agreements, or comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2254’s call for a UN monitored political process.
From February 24 to February 28, Russia conducted twenty bombing missions every day in the Eastern Ghouta and Damascus areas of Syria.
Russia has also repeatedly thwarted efforts by the OPCW to hold the Assad regime accountable for using chemical weapons.
This morning, the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom condemned the abhorrent nerve-agent attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal that took place in Salisbury, United Kingdom on March 4.
The statement made clear that we believe that Russia was responsible for this attack, and we call on the Russian government to answer all questions related to this incident and to provide full information to the OPCW.
No nation—Russia, Syria, or anyone else—should be using chemical weapons and nerve agents.
If Iran and Russia do not stop enabling the regime’s atrocities and adhere to UN Security Council resolutions, all nations must respond more forcefully than simply issuing strong statements.
It is time to impose serious political and economic consequences on Moscow and Tehran.
Assad should not have impunity for his crimes, and neither should his sponsors.
