President Trump has disavowed the Iranian nuclear deal but I hope Israel isn't demanding more by its military actions in Syria.

Russia is allied to Iran and I always get the sense Israel and the Saudis etc. the anti-Iraners out there are forces hostile to Russia and spreading anti-Russia material which then links to Trump haters pushing the Russian collusion narrative.

Syrian government and pro-Assad media, along with independent anti-Assad "Observatory for Human Rights" have reported info pointing to an attack around Damasacus.

We went to war and set up shop mere miles from a Russian base that’s existed since the 70s. If anyone started this quagmire it was obama, not Israel.

Earlier this was debated as possible FAKE news. Several threads on it.

Several legit news sources pulled it.

** Russia and its terrorist ally Iran need to stay out and not be fighting other people’s wars. **

I find the KSA/Israeli alliance more disturbing than Russia these days.

Syria has always been a Russia ally. Why did we stick our nose in there?

Two significant military events were reported early Saturday, Dec. 2, by Arab and Russian sources – neither of them officially confirmed.

"Syria has always been a Russia ally."

Along with Iran and North Korea.

Damascus, SANA- The army’s air defense at midnight confronted an Israeli attack with ground-to-ground missiles (GGM) on one of the military sites in Damascus countryside.

Informed sources told SANA Saturday that the Israeli enemy launched at 12, 30 am (local time) a number of GGM against one of the military sites in Damascus countryside, adding that the Syrian air defense intercepted them and destroyed two of them.

The Israeli aggression caused material damage to the site, according to the sources.

"I find the KSA/Israeli alliance more disturbing than Russia these days."

Yes, Saudi/Israel/USA/Europe/India/Australia/Asia partnerships are also disturbing to mullahs, Kim John Un and many others.

For some reason, I can’t reach YouTube. But if you search for SPICE you will see an animation of how the Israelis attack Syria from Lebanese air space. They employ 250 pound glide bombs that are guided externally and internally all the way to the target. The bombs are small enough that they can take out a house that is surrounded by other houses and not kill anyone next door. (That’s the theory.) They enable pinpoint attacks, which, of course, requires substantial intelligence.

Syria says they fired missiles at Israeli planes in Lebanese air space. These are probably easy enough to dodge as Israel plane would have several minutes to maneuver.

I’m still not convinced that Assad did that chemical attack. Why would he. He was winning at the time. Now the rebels got some sympathy for that. Hmm.

That was soooo amazing..except Khan Sheikhun wasn’t Assad, as has been shown by credible authorities.

Do you want to spread the Joe Goebbels Gospel that ISIS and Al-Qaeda were created by Iran?

You need to cross the Gulf to Qatar and Saudi Arabia if want to tell the truth.
