The western countries are embarking on smearing campaign again.

If we use our common logic, we will know that there is no valid reason for President Assad to use chemical weapons to attack its people because Assad is winning the war in Syria with Russian's help.  Furthermore, the USA was planning to pull out of Syria as it was losing the Syria war against Putin.

https://edition.cnn.com/2018/03/29/politics/trump-withdraw-syria-pentagon/index.html

I believe President Assad can wait for the USA to pull out first before taking over the whole Syria.  There is really no reason for Assad to embark on a chemical warfare.  Thus, this is another smearing plot by the USA to give it a legitimate reason to attack Syria with UK & France.

We are seeing the same Iraqi situation in Syria now.  The culprits behind this are US, UK & France.

UK PM May was lying outright!

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/western-missile-attack-syria-legal-british-pm-may-085455147.html

If it was totally legal and right to launch the missile attack against Syria, the UN would have given the mandate to attack Syria.  It is precisely that everything was based on suspicion and without concrete proof that the UN didn't give the mandate to attack Syria.

US, UK & France attacked Syria with missiles!

https://www.bloombergquint.com/markets/2018/04/14/the-world-reacts-to-strikes-against-syria

The situation in Syria has deteriorated because the western countries took unilateral actions against Syria.

This is definitely an act of aggression because this is done without UN mandate.

US, UK & France will attack Syria soon!

https://edition.cnn.com/2018/04/12/middleeast/syria-uk-us-meetings-intl/index.html

This situation looks exactly like what happened to Iraq.

The US also claimed to have "proof" that Iraq possessed WMDs and attacked Iraq with the UK.  However, no WMDs were found in Iraq.

Now, these western countries also claim that they have got the proof that Syria is using chemical weapons.

Here we go again! 8-year old girl was raped and murdered in India!

I'm very confident to say that this girl won't be the last.  There will be more rapes in the future because Indian men don't respect women and young girls.

133 international academics disapproved Minister Shanmugam's historical views.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/academics-back-singapore-historian-grilled-fake-news-panel-102453461.html

133 international academics backed Singapore historian against Minister Shanmugan's historical views.

First of all, history is not defined by law.  If a lawyer understands history better than a historian, the lawyer should become a historian and not remain as a lawyer.

Sigh! The international academics know that Singapore has a warped historical knowledge now.  Are we going to be the next Japan now?

I hope that Singapore doesn't accuse other international academics of sophistry.

Tension in Syria is rising as Trump tweets.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/russia-bomb-u-missile-launch-102819143.html

Russia will intercept any US missiles and fire back at US missiles launch site in Syria.

Russia will not joke about this and is very serious about defending Assad.

UFO was caught on cam chasing after a passenger jet.

UFO was chasing a passenger airliner 3 weeks ago.

https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/689833/Alien-news-UFO-chasing-passenger-jet-through-sky-US-chemtrail-conspiracy-proof-video

Please don't tell me there is no UFO because there is no aircraft that looks like a disc-shaped object and it can fly faster than a normal airliner.
