The M4 Sherman is the iconic U.S. tank from World War 2. It was also used after WW2 by many countries across the world. There are many variants, and to make things more difficult for kit bashers there were many field modifications.

“I don’t want to sound apocalyptic, we are not there yet. But we are moving in that direction.”-Andrei Kortunov, Russian International Affairs Council
“As the Defense Ministry has already pointed out, the Russian military bases in Hmeymim and Tartus are under firm protection. At the same time, we expect that in the event of US strikes, if any, the lives of our servicemen will not be in danger. I think that the United States understands this and will not allow it, because otherwise, Russia’s response will be immediate, as the chief of the Russian General Staff has said.”-Yevgeny Serebrennikov, First Deputy Chairman of Russian Upper House Defense Committee
“Russia has warned U.S. representatives, both publicly and via corresponding channels, including military ones, about serious consequences that might follow possible strikes, if Russian citizens are hurt in such strikes, accidentally or not.”-Vladimir Chizhov, Russian Permanent Representative to the European Union
Reuters: Russian envoy to Lebanon: Any U.S. missiles fired at Syria will be shot down
Anybody wondering why United States and North Korea suddenly want to make peace?
France24: Macron, Trump agree toxic gas used in Syria, vow ‘strong, joint response’
After a failed attempt to get a United Nations Security Council resolution against Syria (and now that it’s clear their dog of war Islamic State is dead), United States, United Kingdom and France join to possibly conduct airstrikes against Syria.
Donald Trump suddenly canceled Latin America trip to “oversee the American response to Syria”.
France claims they got the support of Saudi Arabia: “If our alliance with our partners requires it, we will be present.”-Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
The European Union has warned all airliners to avoid the eastern Mediterranean airspace for the next 72 hours.
For proof this is a False Flag excuse to overthrow the Syrian government, the overwhelming number of children maimed and killed in the western instigated Syrian ‘civil war’ are the result of conventional bullets and bombs, yet where is the outraged military response from western governments? The number of children hurt or killed by unproven chemical attacks is a sliver of a fraction of casualties caused by conventional weapons, yet the western powers have a hissy fit every time and launch airstrikes: “All the geniuses tell us Assad killed those children. But do they really know that? Of course, they don’t really know that. They are making it up. They have no real idea what happened. How would it benefit Assad using chlorine gas last weekend? Well, it wouldn’t. Assad’s forces have been winning the war in Syria. The administration just announced to pull American troops out of Syria…..That’s good news for Assad. And the only thing he could do to reverse it and hurt himself would be to use the poison gas against children.”-Tucker Carlson, Fox News
Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya made a similar statement, except much more succinct than Tucker Carlson’s, saying “A provocation was what militants badly needed to receive support from the United States and other Western countries.”
“Trump’s cheap shot against Iran, which has consistently condemned use of chemical weapons by anyone & is itself the victim of their use by Saddam with U.S. support, is hypocritical. His threats to repeat impulsive acts of aggression is symptomatic of U.S. policy helping extremists.”-Mohammad Javad Zarif, Foreign Minister of Iran
Syrian news media reporting that on 10APR2018, U.S. helicopters evacuated leaders of DAIISH (Islamic State) near al-Shadadi city in Hasaka Province: “The sources said that the evacuation took place at 11pm on Monday at a gas station in the area of Tal al-Shayer in which the perpetrators of the evacuation staged a fake battle with live fire before the helicopters took off, taking three Iraqi Daesh leaders with their families to an unknown destination….. a civilian was martyred and others were injured. During the past few months, Washington transported many foreign Daesh leaders from the eastern region in Syria in order to re-employ them to implement new aggressive plans both in Syria and abroad.”
China opposes military action before a legitimate investigation is made.
Los Angeles Times: Syria will allow inspectors at site of suspected chemical attack
“Definitely, this crime will not remain without a response.”-Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, regarding Israel’s latest airstrike in Syria which killed Iranians
“The Foreign Ministry condemns the air raids launched at the Syrian Arab Republic and affirms its previous position that Lebanon’s airspace should not be used to attack Syria. Lebanon will make a formal complaint with the UN Security Council.”-Foreign Ministry of Lebanon regarding the latest Israeli airstrike on Syria

Not only has Turkey given up on its attempt to join the European Union (EU) but it’s looking more and more like Turkey is about to get the hell outta NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).
On 04APR2018 Iran, Russia and Turkey held a tripartite summit to discuss what will happen to Syria, now that DAIISH is defeated. U.S. president Donald Trump didn’t attend the conference and simply stated that the United States would be leaving Syria “very soon” (which seemed to be news to the Department of State and Department of Defense).
U.S. news media made sure the taxpayers of United States knew about the Syria Conference that didn’t involve the U.S., but failed to mention things like Turkey buying Russian made weapon systems and even getting help from Russia to go nuclear.
Turkey’s own news media reported that not only is Turkey buying the Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile system, but that Russia will attempt to deliver it sooner than originally agreed to. This happened the day before the tripartite summit concerning Syria, and it should be noted that NATO administrators complained that Turkey never told them about the deal with Russia saying “We have relayed our concerns to Turkish officials regarding the potential purchase of the S-400.”
Ground breaking for the Akkuyu power plant, 03APR2018
They also made a deal concerning the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant project, with Russian president Vladimir Putin saying its was a new level of cooperation between Turkey and Russia.
You could partly blame the new partnership on the increasing ‘western’ sanctions against Russia, because that new level of cooperation is being motivated by money: “Russia has become the third export market for Turkey after Germany and China. Turkey has become our seventh basic commercial partner.”-Russian president Vladimir Putin
“Our trade volume has surpassed $22 billion dollars with a 32% increase, according to our calculations compared to the previous year. Our goal is to reach $100 billion.”-Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Also in the works are two natural gas pipelines from Russia to Turkey, called TurkStream. One of the lines is meant to circumvent NATO controlled Ukraine to provide Europe with much needed gas.

In the past 24 hours violence seemingly has escalated in the pro-U.S.-European oil rich and anti-gun country of ‘Democratic’ Republic of Congo (DR Congo, not to be confused with Republic of Congo). In one case, news reports of stabbings by knife wielding rebels inside hospitals.
To show you that even Iran is anti-gun, the government run media outlet PressTV actually described the hospital slashers as “gunmen” (Gunmen stab 12 hospitalized patients in DR Congo), even though there are (so far) no news media reports describing the attackers as being armed with guns!
The official government of DR Congo bans the private ownership of guns. The gun laws of DR Congo are described by international anti-gun organizations as “restrictive”. To show you how anti-gun the United States government truly is, in 2013 the fake news, I mean propaganda (oh wait, propaganda is the original Fake News) Voice of America reported that rebel groups are conducting anti-anti-gun operations “forcing” families, in the areas under rebel control, to own at least one gun!
The violence in DR Congo got worse after an Israeli oil tycoon (Dan Gertler) discovered massive amounts of oil in the central African country, in 2014. A similar amount of oil was discovered in neighboring Uganda. The so called rebels who conducted the hospital knife attack in DR Congo are assumed to be from Uganda, and United Nations peacekeepers in DR Congo believe the violence that has taken place since the discovery of oil is not about civil war, but control of the oil in both DR Congo and Uganda. ‘Western’ oil companies want to build an oil pipeline from Uganda, through DR Congo, to the Atlantic Ocean.
The recent FitBit fiasco, involving dumb U.S. military personnel allowing a silly-vilian designed electronic device to publicly track their movements, reveals slight U.S. military ops along the Atlantic coastline of Africa, but more U.S. activity is seen on the Indian Ocean side, including in DR Congo’s violent neighbor Uganda.

“We note in particular that the intensification of airstrikes, which have paved the ground for an SDF [U.S. backed Syrian Democratic Forces] advance in Raqqa, has resulted not only in staggering loss of civilian life, but has also led to 160,000 civilians fleeing their homes.”-Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro, UN investigator criticizing repeated U.S. airstrikes against civilian targets in Syria
19 JUN 2017, Syrian Red Crescent convoy delivers humanitarian aid to 11-thousand people in the newly liberated Harasta area.
Also on 14 JUN 2017, United Nations human rights investigators praised Russia, Iran and even NATO member Turkey for “…a discernible reduction in levels of violence in the zones around Idlib and western Aleppo.”
Syrian Army after securing the border with Iraq, in al-Badia (Badyah), 13 JUN 2017. Is the real reason United States is openly attacking Syrian government forces because the U.S. backed insurgents are getting their butts kicked?
According to UN investigators, just since 21 MAR 2017, three-hundred Syrian civilians were killed by U.S. bombs! Isn’t it interesting that the U.S. shoot-down of a Syrian plane (which was attacking U.S. backed insurgents) was made just days after the statements against U.S. airstrikes were made at the 35th Human Rights Council session?
And isn’t it interesting that the United States has begun openly attacking Syrian government forces just as those forces made huge gains against the insurgents, such as retaking the Arak petroleum fields, beginning on 15 JUN 2017:
(Update: U.S. shoots down Syrian UAV, U.S. kills 12 civilians in Hasaka & NATO partner Australia halts airstrikes in Syria)
But let’s not blame Donald Trump only. A non-profit group called Airwars says that ever since Barack Obama officially began a supposed war against British empire created Islamic State (in August 2014) at least 3-thousand-9-hundred civilians in Iraq, Libya and Syria have been killed by the U.S. led NATO ‘coalition’. The U.S. Department of Defense admits to killing hundreds of civilians.
It’s been well established (see below) not just by independent NGOs, but by the United Nations itself, that the number of civilians killed in the False Flag U.S. led (British empire instigated) War on Terror skyrocketed under Obama. The latest data from the United Nations, specifically concerning Syria, is par for the course.

The CH-53 Sea Stallion (U.S. Air Force designation HH-53 Super Jolly Green Giant) was developed under Sikorsky’s S-65 program, the prototype first flew in 1964.
U.S. Marines pile out of their CH-53A, to begin a search and destroy operation 17 miles southeast of Phu Bai, Viet Nam, 18NOV1967. The Vietnam era workhorse continues to serve and support the U.S. Marine Corps, as well as other countries including Iran.
The Imperial Iranian Navy bought, and received, six RH-53Ds just before the Revolution. Apparently the RH vs CH designation denotes U.S. Navy (USN) vs U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) use of the Sea Stallion, the USN and Imperial Iran Navy using them primarily as minesweepers.
Iran ‘acquired’ five intact U.S. Marine CH-53Ds (former U.S. Navy RH-53Ds) due to the failed Eagle Claw operation, and has been able to get parts through international weapons dealers.

“The U.S.A. supplies major arms to at least 100 countries around the world — significantly more than any other supplier state.”-Aude Fleurant, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute
According to new data the past eight years of the Barack Obama regime saw global weapons sales increase by 8.4%, with the United States being the leader of the pack (despite claiming a reduction in arms sales).
On top of that, The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute reports that during Obama’s last year as President of the U.S., weapons sales saw an increase that exceeded 2010 arms sales levels (again this is despite the U.S. claiming a reduction in weapons sales). In fact, weapons sales during Obama’s last four years in office were the highest since the undeclared ‘Cold War’ ended in 1990, so much for Obama winning his now laughable Nobel Peace Prize.
You can tell who the real terrorists are by how many weapons they’re distributing throughout the world. The top three international weapons sellers are United States (about 33% of sales), Russia (23%) and then China (6.2%). The top three buyers of Obama regime weapons were Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Turkey. Don’t get mad at Iran, that unfairly sanctioned country accounts for a piddly 1.2% of international weapons purchases.
