Preemptive propaganda blaming America for coming attacks on Syria all in a day's work for a former KGB official

Typical of leftist ideologues and regime spinmasters, Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin threw the first punch by making a completely unsubstantiated claim the United States is readying to launch an attack on the south side of Damascus. He then said that the United States will use chemical weapons against Syrian citizens and lay the blame at the feet of Bashar al-Assad. This is exactly the kind of ploy utilized by dictators and would-be despots to deflect guilt from their own bloody hands. Dread strategies are likely already on the drawing board as they scan the horizon for a convenient patsy. Evidently, Putin thinks the new guy in town, who has shown he's willing to take the bull by the horns, fits the description. If it weren't so obvious it might be ingenious.

Putin has no conscience when it comes to advancing his ambitions

Nero blamed Rome burning on the Christians; Hitler blamed the Reichstag burning on the Jews. A good student of history, Putin blames upcoming chemical weapon attacks in Syria on President Trump. The proof of Putin's involvement is his displaying foreknowledge of an event decent Americans, of which President Trump is one, would never contemplate--that of gassing innocent people. Putin has no conscience when it comes to advancing his ambitions. Unfortunately, our previous presidents did little to thwart him when he rolled through Georgia and Crimea (that's "Korea," if you're Maxine Waters), destabilizing further an already unstable region. Moving chess pieces through the Eastern European, Caucasus and Middle Eastern states is all to gain a more solid foothold in the world energy supply lines. With pirates roaming the Strait of Malacca, the South China Sea and the waters off the Horn of Africa, the oil shipping lanes are more dangerous than ever making proposed pipeline routes from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean of utmost importance in the new world of energy transport. And Russia plans to be a major player, just as China is playing the waiting game literally building islands in disputed seas where major trade routes cross, to inserting themselves by way of a naval base in Djibouti at the mouth of the Red Sea on the Gulf of Aden.

How much of the Syrian civil war is related to oil pipeline routes is a debated topic. ISIS has made billions trafficking in stolen oil from Iraqi oil fields while former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has armed rebel groups in the region affiliated with every terrorist organization from ISIS to al-Nusra Front and Al Qaeda. Putin has been in the mix whether it's gobbling up 20% of America's uranium or bolstering Assad for a cut of the oil expected to flow through the country. He's not planning on missing out on any profits. Putin has a game plan that is only beginning to be unveiled because the Clinton Foundation fiddling in global energy affairs had been so well neglected by the mainstream press. Preemptively placing the blame on America for a yet-to-be accomplished act of evil is all in a day's work for the former KGB official. To Putin it's a game, but to the children on their way to school, a mother shopping in the town's marketplace, a father at work or a family sitting down to a meal, it's their lives not a chessboard.
