UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has reportedly warned that a US attack on Syria can have “extremely grave consequences,” saying further militarization in the region must be avoided.

Further militarization in the area is only a matter of time. The military-industrial complex has our government by the balls. Our soldiers, marines, and mercenaries grow bored with gang raping innocent Iraqi women so now they need a new place to conquer.

When World War 3 happens the atomic bomb cannot save the US this time. Hopefully the Chinese and Russians can dethrone America.

The Group of 20 developed and developing economies has discussed the Syrian crisis at its summit in Russia, but failed to reach a consensus over the US plans for an attack on Syria.


The first day of the G20 summit was held in St. Petersburg on Thursday.

While US President Barack Obama is using the meeting to push for his strike plan, the European Union, and the BRICS emerging economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) as well as Pope Francis - in a letter - warned against the dangers of a US military strike on Syria.

Chinese Deputy Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao said, “Military action would have a negative impact on the global economy, especially on the oil price - it will cause a hike in the oil price.”

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is also in St. Petersburg to push for diplomacy rather than military option regarding Syria.

“Let us remember: every day that we lose is a day when scores of innocent civilians die,” Ban said. “There is no military solution.”

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has also ruled out Germany’s participation in a military strike against Syria.

The rhetoric of war against Syria first gained momentum on August 21, when the militants operating inside the country and the foreign-backed Syrian opposition claimed that over a thousand people had been killed in a government chemical attack on militant strongholds on the outskirts of Damascus.

The Syrian government categorically rejected the accusation and said the militants had conducted the attack to draw in foreign military intervention.

Obama has asked the Congress to back the military action against Syria. The US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations passed a resolution in this regard on September 4. The resolution now needs Congressional approval.

France has expressed support for the attack on Syria, but the UK parliament has voted against the move.

The United Nations is akin to religion, it allows for the illusion that things are better than they seem, in actuality, its pretty much a Hobbesian state of affairs.
The UN could not even prevent the massacres in the Sudan, a barely there country with a militia whose key advantage was similar to Genghis Khan's army, they were proficient in horseback riding...this was in the aughts.
The UN is a republican's worst nightmare, a bureaucratic hell hole, and yet here they are giving US foreign policy to them, what strange times we live in.
