- The US is probably preparing another 'victorious' war.
-
- Several days ago, a Western website published a news
message which said that the US could probably launch another short and
victorious war. The message specified the place where the military operation
would probably happen. Below is the text of the message:
-
- "Since Saturday, people in the Highlands of Scotland
have been witnessing large movements of US warplanes overhead. Experienced
observers say the large numbers are reminiscent of those that preceded
the bombing of Iraq in 1998 and military strikes on Libya in the1980's
as well as the first Gulf War.
-
- "At the weekend warplanes were flying over at
a rate of roughly one every 15 minutes. As well as watching them from the
ground the plane spotters have also been able to overhear pilots talking
by listening to their radio frequencies.
-
- "At this rate some 288 warplanes would have passed
over Scotland in three days. It is thought that the planes have flown on
a route from the US over the North Pole to bases in Europe and the Mediterranean.
The size and scale of the movement suggests that the US may be preparing
to strike at a country in the Middle East in the next week to ten days."
-
- At the end of the message the author presumes that
it might be either Syria or Iran. The author asks readers to "pass
the information on as widely as possible," because it may prevent
air strikes.
-
- The author of the message does not have a special piety
to the US: he calls the USA the "empire," for example. Taking
into consideration the emotional side of the message, one may treat it
skeptically. Furthermore, the term "warplanes" is rather broad.
It is not clear from the text, whether it means fighter planes, bombers,
troop-carriers or all of them altogether.
-
- On the other hand, one should keep such messages in
mind especially against the background of events that have been happening
for several decades. Everything is possible at any moment - people have
become accustomed to it. Finally, it would be stupid to expect a message
about a massive movement of warplanes on the official website of the Pentagon.
