The implications of this 'integration' are far-reaching because once the decision is taken by the Commander in Chief, namely the President of the United States, to launch a joint conventional-nuclear military operation, there is a risk that tactical nuclear weapons could be used without requesting subsequent presidential approval. In this regard, execution procedures under the jurisdiction of the theater commanders pertaining to nuclear weapons are described as 'flexible and allow for changes in the situation' "
The taboos need to be lifted, and the repeated lies contradicted.
Some of the more pernicious lies covering the escalating war on the democratic republic of Syria include unsubstantiated memes that fit neatly into the propagandists' toolbox of false representations, and of projecting the West's crimes onto the victims (Syria and Syrians).
The War on Syria is not a "civil" war; the "uprising" was not "democratic"; Assad does not "starve his own people"; Assad, does not "bomb his own people"; Assad is the democratically-elected president of Syria, and not a "brutal dictator".
Conclusive evidence demonstrates, and has demonstrated for years, that the war is an invasion by Western proxies, which include ISIS and al Qaeda/al Nursra Front, and that there are no "moderates".
The initial uprisings were marred by foreign-backed violence perpetrated against innocent people, soldiers, and police. Peaceful grassroots protests were hijacked by these murderous foreign-backed elements (as was the case in Ukraine) -- all consistent with "hybrid war" as elaborated by Andrew Korybko.
The illegal sanctions imposed by the West -- including Canada -- coupled with terrorist practices of theft and hoarding of humanitarian aid -- are responsible for the starvation.
Assad is a democratically elected reformer, and hugely popular with Syrians, not a brutal dictator. Claims that he "kills his own people" were further debunked when the so-called "Caesar photos" evidence was proven to be a fraud.
Many Syrians criticize Assad for not carpet bombing terrorist occupied areas (as US occupiers did in Fallujah, for example). Syrians sometimes refer to Assad as "Mr. Soft Heart".
Unfortunately, though, the well-documented truth is not widely accepted. We need to shatter the "Inquisition" which serves to protect the criminal cabal perpetrating and orchestrating this global catastrophe. Truth and justice must prevail over lies and crimes. Currently, the opposite is the case.
