I find it hard to believe Assad gas people immediately after we said we’d plan to leave.
There is no benefit to being set up to have your forces killed.
Then the people killed in this missile “attack” were all Iranians
The Neocons aren’t the only ones looking for war.
I do not believe anything that comes out of that part of the world. Lies are what they do best.
What is happening in Syria is not happening in a vacuum.
Assad, in addition to being a monster who needs to be destroyed, is Putin’s puppet in the Middle East. Putin has Iran as an ally and Iran is involved in trying to control Yemen.
Iran has lunatics in Syria, supported by Assad, who are engineering attacks against Israel.
Turkey is controlled by another unstable lunatic who can flip to either side.
Unless Assad is removed, his horrific behavior will encourage other madmen on the Middle East to act similarly, greatly strengthen Putin’s hand there and allow him to put increased pressure on the feckless Europeans. Further, it will undermine the current government in Saudi Arabia trying to moderate that country’s internal policies, and expand the influence of the maniacs in Iran.
Putin’s buddies, the Red Chinese, ar re putting a military base in the horn of Africa at Djibouti.
The US is a world power, not another Switzerland.
This is 2018, not 1783.
We need to let them know this is not
their playground.
I agree. This smells of a False Flag operation by Assad's opponents.
