“It is regrettable that, from the very beginning of the conflict in Syria, one sided interests [U.S./EU/Israel/Saudi Arabia] have prevailed and in fact hindered the search for a solution that would have avoided the senseless massacre now unfolding. To the leaders present, to each and every one, I make a heartfelt appeal for them to help find ways to overcome the conflicting positions and to lay aside the futile pursuit of a military solution.”-letter from Pope Francis to Russian President Vladimir Putin, on the opening day of the G20 meeting

At today’s G20 meeting in Russia, the members of the BRICS made it clear to the Obama regime they will not back the U.S. in an attack on Syria.  Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa can put their money where their mouths are, because they have money and the U.S. doesn’t!

For the past week Indian officials have been stating that a U.S. led war on Syria would be a disaster.  Chinese leaders say it would destroy the global economy (maybe that’s what the leaders of the cash strapped U.S. want?).

South African leaders hypocritically say nobody should get involved with regime change, even though South Africa has been led, by the U.S. Africa Command, into wars in neighboring African countries.

Brazilian officials said they would support a U.S. led attack on Syria, but only if it was sanctioned by the United Nations: “Force should be used only in self defense, as stipulated in the United Nations Charter, or under special authorization from a UN Security Council resolution….”-Luiz Alberto Figueiredo, Foreign Minister of Brazil

That’s not going to happen.  UN  Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stated “There is no military solution.”  And reports say evil U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, has given up trying to convince the UN Security Council to vote for war.
