The dreaded "coalition" word. That implies boots on the ground at some point, no?

There goes America First

Deja vu all over again circa 2006. Hope I'm wrong. We can't pay for another war, build the military, reduce the tax rate, spend trillions on infrastructure and build a multibillion-dollar wall.

I miss Susan Rice

It was the Obama regime (Susan Rice was a part of that) which brought us to this point.

Trump is cleaning up the mess created by Obama.

Did Tillerson happen to mention which radical imam will be replacing Assad?

We had better be damn sure it was Assad before we go stumbling into yet another war. Think President trump. This is not what you want to get involved in.

So Assad goes, and he gets replaced with some Sunni gangster/Jihadi, weaned by the Saudis

At least that person will allow pipelines, trade their oil in US Dollars, and kick the Russians out, hopefully embarrassing Putin so badly he loses power in Russia, and then George Soros can take over

Hurray.

My understanding of some of the motivations surrounding ousting Assad by the Qararis, Saudis, Turks was to build a natural gas pipeline. I may not have this exactly correct but wondering if there is a plan to pacify the Turks so we can keep our base there.
Who knows?

There will not be a war, there is no visible coalition.
The West is weak as water but we have to put on a show.

Looks like we are right on track for WW3. Maybe by the end of the year.
