Disagree with her policies all you want but Nikki Haley is a real Christian. As is Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, and numerous other members in the Trump administration. They seek God’s wisdom.

Not the KGB thug’s you are so in love with.

Mess with the Holy Land and Israel the way the Russia is doing? Playing with fire.

Haley’s boss is Trump.
She wouldn’t say anything without his approval.

…...........

That’s the problem. Tillerson’s boss was Trump. The state department got involved in anti-Orban project in Hungary. With Trump’s approval?

PM Orban was confronting Soros /McCain, and backstabbed by Trump government?

The Jihadis have the incentive of attacking Asad. Asad would not be so stupid as to use poison gas. Sounds like a possible false flag to me.

Remember the Arab spring and Benghazzi? These were all staged events to wipe out Egypt’s Mubarrek, Tunisia, Libya and then Syria. The jihadis were to the south of Libya then killed Khaddaffi and Ambassador Stevens who was involved with acquiring guns to be taken to fight Assad in Syria. “We came, we saw. He died. Ha ha ha.” These people are just criminal, money grabbing globalist scumbags like the leader of the hyena pack Hillary and George Soros. Where were the good guys?

Remember how Obama let Isis cross the border from Syria all the way hundreds of miles into the center of Iraq while Obama looked the other way and kept silent? He could have easily decimated Isis from our fighter planes or drones. Isis were sitting ducks for hundreds of miles in flat open desert with no place to hide yet Obama did nothing.

Go fight! Coward? Why haven’t you joined the Syrian rebels? If I talked as much crap as you do, I would be throwing grenades by now.

Go fight then, do it, no one is stopping you!

Right, because Assad and co are such honest human beings and we should just take their word for it.

You can be against U.S. military action in Syria, but let’s admit the obvious please? We can’t trust anything the Syrian govt says!

Russian media barely admits to its own people that there are thousands of their own mercenaries stationed there. (Because they are not “official military.)

The death toll has become so great though, info leaks to the public. Kremlin then downplays the numbers.

They also deny any and all of Assad’s crimes and use disinformation to pin everything on the rebels. And yet you believe their sources are golden, while people like Donald Trump and Nikki Haley are liars for calling out Assad?

Get a grip. Please.

You cannot trust ANYBODY in Syria, period. Which is why we shouldn't be there in the first place.

I appreciate your insight. It is far beyond mine . I too have been highly suspect of the kurdish communist that want to take land from sovereign countries ,like Syria. Let me assure you that if Trump goes stupid on us and actually goes to war over unsubstantiated gas attacks ( that I believe were done by Jihadis) we will see open chaos in the streets that will make the Viet Nam demonstrations look like dancing around the May pole led by conservative Americans!!

FOR REAL?? Orban is one of the small handful of people who have a chance to contribute to saving some of civilization in Europe. And on the day of his massive victory, this chemical attack not by Syria happens?

I'm getting concerned. Trump's either dumb if he believes this or totally out of the loop, like someone's telling him what to tweet. What other choices are there?

I am glad you brought this up, it needs to be talked about all the time. Who stands to gain? The Europeans are heavily dependent on Russian pipelines with gas and oil. They do not want to be dependent on Russia so they want to buy oil and gas come from a pipeline on the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia. This pipeline will go through Iraq and the northeast corner of Syria, then Turkey and then Europe. We are far from Syria and we have no interest in the pipeline. We are being lied to by some very cynical people. Let Europe fight its own wars.

Why not? The "regime change" initiatives were totally the invention of outside interests who strive to destabilize Syria. Assad is a defender of Christians and other minorities. And he isn't stupid. This would be an extremely stupid time to use chemical weapons, for him.

Soros and his globalist pals are behind this so they can create anarchy and millions more Muslim refugees. This is being purposely set up to take out white Christians in USA and Europe.

You are right. It makes no sense for Assad to have done it. It reminds me of Bush crying, “Iraq has WMD!”

A hundred years of warfare and no end in sight. First it was World War I, then World War II, then Korea, then Vietnam, then the Gulf War, then the Afghanistan war and Iraq and now Syria. Are we an empire or who’s empire are we protecting?

Thank you. That’s disturbing, but necessary to know. I doubt God is on our side anymore, as a nation.

I think President Trump is being trapped. When you see those pictures of little children under some kind of chemical attack you are not going to know who did it and you are being emotionally blackmailed.

Assad is a bad guy but there are many bad guys throughout the world. We cannot go around being policeman throughout the world. We are being played. Stay out of this, we do not want World War III with Russia. Europe is going to gain and we are going to lose American blood.

Almost half of America voted for Hillary—monster and cheerleader for abortion even though there have been 40 million abortions since it became legal.

Hi cradle of freedom. I think part of your problem is the benefit of the doubt you are giving to Russia and Iran.

Putin, for example is as much an enemy of Trump’s as our Deep State. He will not “work with” Trump on Trump’s terms because he only wants upper hand.

He is already trying to get Kim Jong Un to come to Russia first because he is pissed about not being invited to table for talks.

If you immerse yourself in Russian public discourse, Putin’s speeches, and Kremlin media, you would know there is far more animosity towards USA than say towards...ISIS terrorists.

And speaking of North Korea, Russia has rather cordial relations with them. Slaves on loan from Kim Jong Un helped build the World Cup stadiums, for starters.
