Trump is sending a message... did the affected party receive the message?
Trump is not a metrosexual CIC.
One has to appreciate the message delivered to the visiting Chinese who-hah. Lol.
Sad for the people of Syria that PDJT didn’t first actually meet and speak directly with Assad before ordering the US to attack a country that did not attack or threaten the U.S. Sad that he fell for the warmongers pitch and the CIA deep state shenanigans.
Of course no one of us little people actually know anything wrt evidence. The fact is, even if evidence is brought forth, without the people’s confidence in “Intelligence” agencies, said evidence will be suspect. When the people’s confidence in gov’t vanishes, the future of our country is uncertain.
Tonite I will pray for Assad, his wife and family, and all the people of Syria, except the murderous muslims and complicit forces.
Something is Not Adding Up In Idlib Chemical Weapons Attack

He’s got a long way to go to get to Obama’s number: 12,192 bombs were dropped on Syria in 2016.
Huge mixed emotions on this one. Wanted no further involvement in Syria and possible regime change. Still think whatever might follow could be worse. At the same time, I’ve often thought if I were going to try to send a real message to Syria, or Iran or NK, this is what I’d do; used saturation bombing to destroy a military installation and make it clear that all bases and even government buildings could also be destroyed.
But Trump is so wrapped up in his emotional reaction to the deaths of children in a gas attack, that I worry if this has been thought through. And who knows what the motives of some of his globalist advisors are.
Good speech, Mr. President.
What I love is the Chinese prez is in the next room...and *45* says* Mr. Xi, we’re skipping dessert...wanna see some American fireworks?
A Cooper is stuttering his way thru his broadcast. Meh.
Armchair quarterbacking to begin in ....3....2......
So Hillary Clinton was elected after all?
Now the Syrians can say that their Air Force destroyed over 50 advanced Tomahawk cruise missiles. All while sitting on the ground.
“Europe today is a powder keg and the leaders are like men smoking in an arsenal … A single spark will set off an explosion that will consume us all … I cannot tell you when that explosion will occur, but I can tell you where … Some damned foolish thing in the Balkans will set it off.”
-Otto von Bismarck, prior to WW1
Today’s paraphrase:
“The Middle East today is a powder keg and the leaders are like men smoking in an arsenal … A single spark will set off an explosion that will consume us all … I cannot tell you when that explosion will occur, but I can tell you where … Some damned foolish thing in a sh*thole Middle East nation will set it off.”
Prior to WW 3
I think this was a deal between Putin and Trump. Putin wanted out of Syria and couldn’t just fold and leave due to US pressure. This makes Trump look tough and allows Russia off the hook of supporting Assad.
I think this was done to get Russia out of Syria.
The hysterics here and elsewhere are dismaying. What I’ve seen is that Russia has backed away from unconditional support of Assad, both Russia and US are calling for investigation and confirmation of the nature of this supposed sarin gas attack, and now we’ve got Tomahawks bouncing the rubble at an airstrip that is alleged to contain chemical weapons, which will no doubt settle down the war hawks but involves no boots on the ground. It appears to be largely a symbolic retaliation, to me. It also appears to me that low key diplomacy is ongoing between Russia and the US regarding this situation in order to avoid escalation, their backing off of Assad just after the supposed sarin gas attack and just before the Tomahawk missiles were launched seems not coincidental. I’ve also read that Russia was informed of the Tomahawk missile attack with several hours to get their personnel out of harm’s way. I disbelieve the story on the gas attack, it looks theatrical to me. It was intended to provoke the US and Trump. The reaction, even with Tomahawks flying, is actually fairly muted.
Buy gold and silver. The Petro-dollar is going to be under severe pressure....
Little fat boy Kim over there in North Korea just wet his pants when he saw this.
the international condemnation has already started.
UK, France, Canada, and 180 other countries have condemned Trump’s action.
I’ve read so much innuendo drama assumptions and garbage tonite it’s a joke. So an airfield was bombed? Yawn. Bill Clinton did this all the time. Yeah WW3. Will the candycane libtards “anti-war” butt hurt meme be out to block the highways after tumbleweeds went by when Obozo and company ripped apart Libya, Egypt and Syria and it’s current destabilized situation? More crickets.
Are the Iraqi children any less dead than the Syrian children?
Our excuse is that there must have been explosives or car bombs stored near the target in Mosul. Syria's excuse is that there must have been chemical weapons in the ammo dump that they bombed. Which one is likely to be true, or are they both true or false?
Assad isn't a popular guy, but if we blame him for civilian deaths why don't we blame ourselves when our attacks kill civilians?
Trump gets his way and Kurds.
