Ask the clintons, they used CS gas killing almost 100,
I’m not convinced that he did!
Consider;
Two bullets, one each in the head of assad and jun and how much different the entire world would be ... instantaneously.
Because he could?
Interesting analysis. I think it’s true that the Russians were beginning to find Assad a bit of an embarrassment, and in addition, weren’t happy with his slowness and inefficiency in driving out ISIS (theoretically, the whole reason for leaving him in power). So maybe he really did mean this as a message to them.
Assuming that he did it, of course. One problem is that our intelligence services are so corrupted it’s hard to trust their analyses, and one wonders if they aren’t manipulating things to get the reaction and policy result they want.
It was a test of Trump, engineered by the Russians, Iranians, and Syria. They wanted to see if Trump was just Obama without the melanin.
He is broke and nerve gas is cheap.
I this article is so convoluted.
It shows how contrived the reasoning has to be to come up with a motive for Assad to do this.
By standard criminal investigative analysis, one would be highly skeptical Assad did it.
Because he had every motive not to, while the rebels and their backers (qatar, turkey etc) had every reason to pin it on Assad who they want gone...
It won’t surprise me one bit to find out one that day our journalists and politicians were hoodwinked by a false flag setup
A pretty pathetic attempt to “explain” the equivalent of “the Earth is flat”!
Not believing this at all. There have been eye witness accounts that the only people around the area where the gas was released were rebels. The previous gas attack had some implicating Turkey. This is just more CIA propaganda, and not very effective propaganda at that. Clear out these incompetent fools and get a better propaganda team onboard at least.
Why would the Russians and Syrians want the world to think that they didn’t do it?
Assad using gas makes no sense whatsoever. After winning a six year war and told he’s staying in power, he commits suicide? But then again he’s a mad man so there’s that.
Its not like dictators are benevolent and always use good judgement...thats sort of why they are called dictators..
the Jeehadis dont have an airforce from which to drop the gas...
He didn’t. Ask any ex military. Especially anyone with NBC or Combat Chemical Casualty Course.
Assad thinks he is killing terrorists.
I hope and pray that the President is doing the right thing...
...but I don’t think he is.
The Assad family keep the peace for a very long time. It was BO’s bs ‘arab sping’ that destabilized the whole Mideast.
The arab spring was just an excuse for radical muslimes to overthrow the governments that supported the US during Operation Iraqi Freedom in ‘03.
I’m thinking jihadists unleashed the gas to get the superpowers to go toe to toe.
We are slowly dying the death of a thousand cuts.
He’s winning so doing it was dumb dumb dumb dumb
It was Saran and most likely Russian.
The Russians want only one outcome in Syria, the Russians in control of Syria. Trump having any kind of success in region is big problem for the Russians and their plans.
When you line the unsavory characters up; ISIS, Assad, Turkey, Russians/ Putin....Russians/Putin are the worse and most deadly by far.
