Western leaders are expressing horror at the siege of Eastern Ghouta
in Syria, which is amounting to mass extermination of innocent
civilians, potentially including tens of thousands of innocent women
and children. The siege and the mass extermination are being led by
Syria's president Bashar al-Assad, and backed by Russia's president
Vladimir Putin, and Iran's Supreme Leader Seyed Ali Khamenei. All
three of these people -- al-Assad, Putin and Khamenei -- are massively
committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, and all three
should be condemned as the worst kinds of war criminals, the worst war
criminals so far this century.

Hundreds of people have been killed just since Sunday from missiles,
shell fire, and barrel bombs packed with explosives and metal and
laced with chlorine gas. The war criminals are particularly targeting
bakeries, so people will starve, and hospitals, so the wounded can't
be treated, as well as food and aid convoys. Bashar al-Assad, who
considers the 400,000 residents of Eastern to be cockroaches to be
exterminated, wants to make sure that the baby cockroaches, in his
view, won't grow up to be adult cockroaches.

The siege is a repeat of the similar attack on East Aleppo at the end
of 2016. There were 275,000 people in Aleppo, and it took al-Assad,
Putin and Khamenei six months to destroy the city enough to "take
control." By the end, the city was almost completely deserted, since
thousands of people had been able to escape from the city and flee to
the countryside.

In East Ghouta, there are 400,000 people and, unlike in Aleppo, there
is no escape. All 400,000 people are trapped in Ghouta, waiting to be
exterminated.

According to reports, Syrian army forces are massing, and could enter
Ghouta for the final slaughter at any time.

The justification used by al-Assad, Putin and Khamenei is that among
the 400,000 civilians there are some jihadists. An analogy in America
would be if an American city contained some people from the Black
Panthers or Black Lives Matter, then it would be OK with al-Assad,
Putin and Khamenei for the army and air force to exterminate all the
people in the black neighborhoods in that city. United Nations and

**** Russia rejects 30-day ceasefire in United Nations Security Council
****


[Image: g180222c.jpg]
Inspired by the Oscar-nominated film 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,' three billboards circle the United Nations on Thursday for three hours to demand action on Syria from the Security Council (AFP)

Sweden and Kuwait presented a draft resolution to the United Nations
Security Council for a 30-day ceasefire in Eastern Ghouta, during
which food and humanitarian aid could be delivered to the residents.

This of course is completely laughable, since al-Assad, Putin and
Khamenei are interesting in exterminating people, not a ceasefire.
Ironically, Eastern Ghouta is already a ceasefire zone, having been
designated by Russia as one of the four "de-confliction zones," based
on the agreements signed with Turkey and Iran in Astana, Kazakhstan.
Putin said that it would be a ceasefire zone, but as with everything
that Putin says, it was a lie designed to cover up future
extermination plans. This lying as a cover up has been used
repeatedly by Putin in Syria, Ukraine, Crimea, Georgia, and elsewhere.

Needless to say, Russia has done everything possible to sabotage the
draft resolution by offering numerous amendments to do things like
exempt jihadists and terrorist. However, since al-Assad, Putin and
Khamenei consider everyone in Ghouta, including innocent women and
children, to be "terrorists," these amendments make the resolution
meaningless. If there's ever a vote on a meaningful resolution, then
Russia will veto it.

It never ceases to amaze me how the original principles of the United
Nations have been turned on their head, and the UN is now used as a
cover and a tool to support war crimes and genocide rather than
prevent them.

As I wrote in 2011, Russia adopted a specific policy of using the UN
Security Council as a tool to control the foreign policy of the United
States, Europe and NATO, while leaving itself free to pursue any
policy it wanted. ( "22-Apr-11 News -- Russia seeks to cripple Nato through Libya United Nations politics"
)

The way it works is that Russia demands that all actions taken by Nato
be approved by the U.N. Security Council, where Russia has a veto,
giving Russian an effective veto over all Nato operations. The
Russians then can invade Ukraine, invade and annex Crimea, and commit
war crimes in Syria with complete freedom and impunity, because of the
double standard -- they never ask approval of the UNSC, while they
insist that NATO do nothing without getting UNSC approval.

Russia has worked with China to carry this policy even further.
Russia and China have been invaded and annexed other countries'
regions, just as Hitler did. This is something that the United
Nations was formed specifically to prevent. But all the UN can do now
is whatever Russia and China force it to do, using vetoes and ignoring
international law. Incredibly, China is building massive military
bases in the South China Sea, and completely ignoring United Nations
court decisions that declare them illegal. And yet they insist that
the United States and all other countries be completely restricted by
UN laws.

It's absolutely incredible how Russia and China have now only
completely crippled the United Nations, but actually done worse --
they're using the United Nations as a tool to subvert and enable the
crimes that the UN was formed to prevent. It's a truly remarkable
historic event, and it shows again how the world is headed for World
War III.

After World War II, historians analyzed the failure of the League of
Nations, and in the end blamed it on the United States for not
joining. So the US joined the League of Nations' successor, the
United Nations, and even agreed to host it in New York. But now, 71
years later, the United Nations is failing for the same kinds of
reasons that the League of Nations failed. In a generational Crisis
era, there is no will to enforce the principles for which the
organization was formed, and essentially the organization is taken
over by criminals. History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.

**** North Korea insults South Korea with selection of Kim Yong-chol head of Olympics closing ceremony
****


North Korea is insulting and provoking the South Koreans by saying
that it has selected Kim Yong-chol to head the North Korean high-level
delegation to the closing ceremony of the Olympics games on Sunday.

Kim Yong-chol is the vice chairman of the Workers Party Central
Committee, and is the mastermind of two major attacks on South Korean
targets. In May 2010, North Korea torpedoed and sank the warship Cheonan,
killing 46 of
South Korean crew members, and in November 2010, North Korea killed
South Korean civilians by shelling Yeonpyeong Island.

Incredibly, Kim Yong-chol is the man that the North will send to lead
the festivities on Sunday, and South Korea's president Moon Jae-in is
expected to roll out the red carpet for him. Kim Yong-chol has been
blacklisted and sanctioned by both South Korea and the US, and he is
currently in charge of North Korea's department in charge of the
regime's agitation against South Korea.

The families of the victims of the Cheonan and Yeonpyeong attacks are
furious at what's happening. It appears that North Korea's latest
charm offensive is suddenly over. Chosun Ilbo (Seoul)
