Report from last year - see who instantly benefits from airstrikes Raytheon stock surged Friday morning, after 59 of the company’s Tomahawk missiles were used to strike Syria in Donald Trump’s first major military operation as President. Trump ordered the airstrike on the Syrian government Thursday night in retaliation for a deadly chemical weapons attack on civilians earlier this week that killed as many as 100 people. The U.S. blamed the attack on the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The Tomahawk missile used in the strike is made by Raytheon (rtn, +1.48%), whose stock opened 2.5% higher Friday, adding more than $1 billion to the defense contractor’s market capitalization. The shares of other missile and weapons manufacturers, including Boeing (ba, +0.83%), Lockheed Martin (lmt, +1.04%), Northrop Grumman (noc, +0.58%) and General Dynamics (gd, +0.25%), each rose as much as 1%, collectively gaining nearly $5 billion in market value as

by system failure Anyone who would have been unfortunate enough to be present at the UK parliament yesterday, would have become a witness of a repulsive spectacle. The British PM, Theresa May, was expected to have a tough time facing the members of the parliament about her unprecedented decision to order military action without the approval of the parliament, following the US on the illegal airstrikes against Syria last week. Yet, instead of that, we saw that most of the members unquestionably adopted the story that the Syrian army used chemical weapons against civilians at the time where the last remnants of the jihadists were ready to surrender. Without any clear evidence still. Almost zero resistance against the Iraq war - type lies. The atmosphere inside the House was resembling a bad-directed theatrical play. It would give you the impression that anyone who would dare to challenge the "facts", would have been immediately kicked-out fr

Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov claims OPCW used Swiss experts who found traces of a nerve agent used by the west Moscow on Saturday accused the chemical weapons watchdog of manipulating the results of its investigation into the poisoning of a former Russian spy, saying his samples had traces of a nerve agent used by the west. Britain says former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were last month targeted with a nerve agent of the novichok family, which was developed in the Soviet Union. The attack shredded ties between Russia and Britain and led to a crisis in relations between Moscow and the west including a huge wave of tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has said it confirmed “ the findings of the United Kingdom relating to the identity of the toxic chemical ” without naming the substance involved. On Saturday, Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, claimed the UN-linked

“ The need to restart genuine negotiations for peace and an inclusive political settlement of the Syrian conflict, including the withdrawal of all foreign forces, could not be more urgent.” by Jake Johnson With U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly mulling his “options” for a military attack on Syria while continuing to issue belligerent threats on Twitter, U.K. Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn condemned the Tory government on Friday for “ waiting for instructions ” from Trump and demanded an immediate resumption of peace talks. “ The need to restart genuine negotiations for peace and an inclusive political settlement of the Syrian conflict, including the withdrawal of all foreign forces, could not be more urgent. We must do everything we can, no matter how challenging, to bring that about, ” Corbyn said in a statement. “ The humanitarian priority must be to halt the killing on all sides. ” Corbyn’s call for negotiations over further military intervent

Bolton is likely to push for the creation of a new sectarian state out of Syrian and Iraqi territory, now that the groundwork has been laid and the path largely cleared to building a “new Middle East.” Iran is currently the only country in the region with the potential to foil that plan. by Whitney Webb Part 8 - Syria and Iraq partition: playing with the map Beyond pushing for regime change in Iran, John Bolton has long demonstrated his commitment to helping Israel and its allies entirely remake the Middle East and thus fundamentally change the region’s balance of power. A key part of this has been the partition of other secular, independent nations in the Middle East, namely Syria and Iraq. It is largely for this reason that Bolton, a major advocate of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, still stands by the disastrous war — because it was an essential precursor to Iraq’s partition. A major part of the groundwork for partition, the invasion of Iraq, and the current Syrian co
