Samantha Power Blames Everything on Russia – Defends US Attack On Syrian Troops

[Comments posted on Information Clearing House]

Samantha Power walks out of Security Council meeting as Ambassaor Churkin spoke over US bombing of Syrian army in Deir Ez-zor.

According to Churkin, when he began to share with the audience his concerns over Syria (a US strike in Deir ez-Zor on SAR troops), Samantha Power did not listen. Instead, she walked out to talk to the press, where she began to spit out nonsense about Russian-bombed hospitals and a breach of agreements – saying the moderates are bombed. Clearly, the woman had a hangover, had nothing to say, but did not have the energy to listen to criticism. So she exploded.

“And when she returned after my speech (I must say, her assistant did say, that Americans are trying to investigate what happened) said that she was not interested, so to speak, in listening what I had to say and that it’s all a “stunt” and so on”, – said Churkin.

The calamitous fallout from today’s US airstrikes in Deir Ezzor, a blunder which killed at least 83 Syrian troops [with scores more wounded as IS took advantage to retake advantageous position – Oui], continues to mount, as not only did it amount to a major US violation of the ceasefire, not only may it end up handing the entire oil-rich Deir Ezzor Province to ISIS, but it is also creating a major diplomatic blowup with Russia.

Russia responded to the bombing by calling an emergency UN Security Council meeting, leading US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power to publicly blow up, furiously slamming the meeting as “a magician’s trick” and “a stunt,” insisting the Syrian government is fully to blame for what’s happening in Syria, and the meeting is a “diversion from what is happening on the ground.”

Power continued to rave against Russia, insisting the Russians were trying to score “cheap points” by making so much of the US killing scores of Syrian soldiers who were defending the Deir Ezzor airport from ISIS, and saying that the only way forward was for Russia to stop criticizing the US and instead start demanding the Syrian government participate in the ceasefire.

While Power came out of the meeting looking like an absolute monster to most, she did succeed in derailing the meeting on US airstrikes bolstering ISIS, as her Russian counterpart, Vitaly Churkin, stormed out of the meeting, saying he has “never seen such American heavy-handedness” on the international stage. Churkin added that Russia continues to have serious concerns about the incident, and that he personally views the timing of the US attack as “suspicious.”
