US, UK and France launch air strikes in response to chemical attack
The Media (BBC and Sky in particular) have wasted no time in launching their propaganda campaign in support of the madman Trump and the sycophantic camp followers, May and Macron. The usual presenters on both channels are lauding the "accuracy" of the strikes, but glossing over the number of civilians killed in Homs, the British "Target for tonight". In addition, both channels have managed to find "experts", both military and civilian, to praise the "precision" of the strikes and the technical superiority of western technology against the second rate air defences of the Syrian government. The smug attitude of most of these pundits may be a little premature as they derogate the Russian capability to defend Syrian airspace and then go on to promote an "aren't we very clever" aura in the comfort of the television studio.
The next few days, or even hours, will be critical in this unfolding drama and the pundits (as well as the media), may be unpleasantly surprised as they discover that they are not nearly so clever as they think they are this morning.
