Oppose the Attacks on Syria, Oppose Marching with Assad Supporters.
Can the left March with Assad Supporters?
Then there is the latest tweet from this:
Iran, the other prop of Assad with Putin, is a theocratic Islamist dictatorship with a blood-stained record.
Its own militias (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps–Qods For) and Lebanese allies, Hezbollah, are fighting for their own religious and political interests.
Or daily papers of the left (Morning Star) that publish this:
Russia claims it has ‘irrefutable’ evidence chemical attack was staged by foreign intelligence.
MOSCOW claimed today to have “irrefutable” evidence that an alleged chemical attack in Syria was staged by foreign intelligence agents pursuing a “Russophobic campaign.”
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told a press conference that an unnamed country was leading a campaign against Russia.
“We have irrefutable evidence that it was another staging and the special services of a state which is in the forefront of the Russophobic campaign had a hand in the staging,” he said.
Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov accused Britain of staging the attack.
“We have … evidence that proves Britain was directly involved in organising this provocation,” he said.
Mr Lavrov warned that a strike against Syria risked a similar outcome to previous wars in Libya and Iraq.
Not to mention this a few days earlier.

Most of us oppose the attacks without siding with the monster or the maniacs.

Lavrov: Swiss lab says ‘BZ toxin’ used in Salisbury, not produced in Russia, was in US & UK service
The substance used on Sergei Skripal was an agent called BZ, according to Swiss state Spiez lab, the Russian foreign minister said. The toxin was never produced in Russia, but was in service in the US, UK, and other NATO states.
Sergei Skripal, a former Russian double agent, and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with an incapacitating toxin known as 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate or BZ, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, citing the results of the examination conducted by a Swiss chemical lab that worked with the samples that London handed over to the Organisation for the Prohibition of the Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

Novitschok in Salisbury
In der Krise um den Giftanschlag von Salisbury greift Moskau die Glaubwürdigkeit des britischen Befunds an. Der Fachbereich Chemie des Labor Spiez hat jedoch keine Zweifel daran, dass die Briten den eingesetzten Kampfstoff richtig identifizierten und es sich um den Nervenkampfstoff Nowitschok handelt.
Translation:
Novichok in Salisbury
In the crisis surrounding the Salisbury poison attack, Moscow attacks the credibility of the British findings. The Chemistry Department of the Spiez Laboratory, however, has no doubt that the British correctly identified the agent used and that it is Novichok, the nerve agent.

As confirmed by gugle translate the statement from The Chemistry Department of the Spiez Laboratory is the polar opposite of what RT (formerly known as Russia Today) has published. It is not even ‘spin’, not to put too fine a point on it, it is downright LIES. Any remaining vestige of credibility that RT ever had gets flushed straight down the pan.

I sincerely hope that the serial attack doesn’t godown in history as the twenty-first century ‘Archduke Franz Ferdinand’ incident.

Sorry, autocorrect, that should be Skripal not serial.
