They are hoping anti-Russian sentiment increases in the U.S. before the election, which will only really happen if they provoke Russia to kill Americans.

They have already planted the "Russia is hacking our elections, Russia is supporting Trump" meme, and they are hoping to reap the reward.

They have the nerve to squirm when Trump says to blast the Iranians out of the water when they harass our vessels at sea, but then suggest attacking Russians.

Great, the Democrat’s “nuclear option” if the riots and looting don’t work.

Prepare as you all see fit. That includes prayer.

“It appears that advocates for military confrontation with Russia, in the Administration and on Free Republic, are going to get their way. This is going to be a disaster of epic proportions. “

I feel that the closer we get to the Establishment realizing that Trump will be the next, the Gravy Train is coming to end, and a WHOLE BUNCH of names you know in DC are facing prison terms, the more likely it becomes we could get into a confrontation that will “Require” that the elections be suspended, or delayed.

“I’ve heard several NATO positioned US Generals like Breedlove, discussing a conventional war with Russia like it was no big deal at all, no risk of nuclear.
I’m convinced we have a senior officer and governmental group who is waiting for a chance to pull the trigger.”

It’s scary how a guy like Breedlove, a guy of less-than-first-rate breeding and intellect, could be in a position to start a conflict leading to nuclear war with Russia. If Trump doesn’t win I’m afraid we’re finished.

But the deliberations coincide with Secretary of State John Kerry threatening to halt diplomacy with Russia on Syria and holding Moscow responsible for dropping incendiary bombs on rebel areas of Aleppo.....

(Those ‘Rebels’ would be better known as ISIS and friends).....that such overt TREASON is being discussed at all, is alarming....

No, the United States military is not available to assist any Islamic terror organizations.....

If the Demoncrats can provoke Russia into a direct confrontation with US military they will have leverage against Trump,....We Trumpists will be labeled as ‘anti-American’ for not supporting a war that the establishment NWO Devilcrats have engineered.

I've been following Russia modernization of their civil defense and nuclear arsenal. They could easily destroy 80% of the US population and save 50-70% of their own population thanks to the last 5 years of shelter building. They've been prepping for an atomic war since Hillary's madness in Libya.

A war with Russia will almost certainly go nuclear because the Russians would rather die than to bow down to America. They didn't surrender to Hitler after losing 40 million people and they certainly won't to Obama.

What the NWO-con militarists fail to point out in this article is that China and Iran are currently operational in Syria.....Any US/Russia shooting war would involve all the BRICS nations....Putin will not let himself be provoked until after the election....he knows better than anybody just how badly Hillary is doing....

And....unfortunately, the emasculated US/NATO military would quickly be defeated by a very robust, accomplished new emerging global geopolitical/financial empire......sadly for the bankrupted US/Anglo-American empire, WWIII is on the way, Putin will commit on his timing...

Hopefully, Trump will win & wiser heads will rescue the world from the NWO-Demoncrats....

Rome is Rome is Rome is Rome, and right on schedule and at the correct location.

Starting Yet Another illegal war on a sovereign nation and when its defense ally is fully drawn in, we will kill them.

The entire world silent. Surreal.

This is on YOUR HEAD WH, CIA, State, and military. You can’t say you didn’t know.

Putin has already defeated the Anglo-American Empire in Syria, all the CIA & their British counterparts can do is direct involvement.....

Putin is not stupid, look for an Iranian, Chinese or other third party to shoot down the next US military aircraft that ‘accidently’ helps ISIS forces.....

Syria was a Warsaw Pact ally & Putin’s plans do not include giving control of any strategic naval bases to NATO....

REMINDER TO THE US MILITARY: you are sworn to defend the Constitution of the United States,.....not the charter of the United Nations

The Russians have the S-300 & S-400 missile system,....the best in the world.....they have recently delivered the S-300 to Iran. Sadly, the US military would be in for some casualties if O’muslim-name chooses to start trying to enforce any ‘no-fly’ zone.....

The international emergency /crisis is being timed to occur just after our internet blackout so we will only get our news from CNN and other MSM.

I hear ya. There is no crisis in Syria. Looks like Russia has it all under control?

What influence do we want in Syria that we didn’t have in Iraq, which we gave up all to easily?
