This is one data point in a complex situation, the more important question is long-term strategy in Syria, and if there was really anybody better than Assad to support, then name that entity and explain why it should be supported, otherwise, I think we’re stuck with Assad and the Russians as the least of all evils. Had our globalist masters realized this five or ten years ago, then none of this would have happened, and Syria would still be a functioning nation state rather the source of an endless stream of refugees.
So against that backdrop, I don’t see much point in the raid on Assad’s air base personally, but if it is simply meant to demonstrate limits and dampen down the Trump-is-a-dupe-of-Moscow war chants, then fine, play that card.
I do think that Trump’s most loyal supporters need to realize that there are early warning signs involved in this action that will lead to more serious political trouble for Trump down the road, if this is actually just the first of many globalist type actions he intends to take. At some point Trump himself becomes anti-Trump if you see what I mean, the actual concept of “Trump” is fairly well established and it includes not getting into costly Middle East quagmires. A Trump who does that is no more use than a Clinton or a McCain.
I suspect this subject has already come up at the White House and at least some in the inner circle realize that the Trump support base don’t want to please McCain, Graham and Clinton. I’m hoping this is just a one-off aberration and that the talks in Moscow will lead to a more realistic policy going forward. If not Assad, then who? There is no obvious answer to that question.
“if there was really anybody better than Assad to support, then name that entity and explain why it should be supported”
Well maybe the Syrian people know someone they would prefer to Assad. I read somewhere this morning that the agreement between Assad, Obama and Putin was that Assad was to step down once ISIS was taken care of.
I don’t see much point in the raid on Assad’s air base personally, but if it is simply meant to demonstrate limits and dampen down the Trump-is-a-dupe-of-Moscow war chants, then fine, play that card.
