It isn't easy to understand why the U.S. launched 105 missiles overnight in retaliation for a suspected poison gas attack on Douma, 10 km North from the centre of Damascus. According to the Pentagon, on Saturday 12 April two chemical weapons facilities were targeted.
As it is known, chemical weapons are considered hazardous-waste, and they have to be sent to a specific treatment, storage and disposal. As a consequence, the distruction of chemical weapons facilities is not considered a hazardous-waste management, and it may be really dangerous for the environment and the human health. In December 2001 an American agency prepared a report, "State hazardous-waste regulatory programs to waste chemical weapons", for the eight U.S. States with chemical weapon storage facilities managed by the U.S. Army.
In this perspective, how can the U.S. destroy Syrian chemical weapon sites by a missiles attack? Someone blames the Syrian Government for a suspected gas attack, and one week later creates a polluted environment on the same territory!
With regards to the suspected chemical attack in Syria, President Trump recently made a question: "what kind of nation wants to be associated with the mass murder of innocent men, women and children?". Maybe the U.S. President forgets that Saudi Arabia doesn't stop killing civilians in Yemen, and Israel makes Palestinian-Arabs protest executions along the Gaza's border ... Saudi Arabia and Israel are both America's allies, and they don't fit the agenda of most of the media.
In my opinion, the U.S. missiles attack on Syria is a way to join the diplomatic activity of Russia, Iran and Turkey on Syria's future, but the three remain united in their desire not to provide advantage to the United States.
