There are no good actors in this and both sides have the capability. It’s interesting that unprotected persons are handling sarin victims without suffering any effects.

"The last time he was accused of using CBW, it turned out it was the rebels and not Assad."

I don't know if that's actually been proven.

The first time CNN spackles your buttocks crack with joint compond is their fault.
After that you’re just a mook.

Good...I thought perhaps you were buying hook line and sinker...

Glad you are still critically thinking...

I trust Trump. I don’t trust CNN, Deep State, or some of the generals around him.

If US intelligence has damning Syrian communication intercepts, Trump could do a Reagan and present the intercepts to the UN as Reagan did when KAL 007 was shot down by a Soviet SU-15 fighter interceptor.

“KAL007 Shooting Down”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U6010ajPYY

“Recordings of the communications between pilots of Soviet fighter planes and the ground control in the Far East Russian island of Sakhalin on Sept. 1, 1983.”

Probably also embarrass Pootie Poot like Reagan did to the Soviets back in the day.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) visited other hospitals treating victims of the attack, and reported that they smelled of bleach, indicative of possible exposure to chlorine.

These reports strongly suggest that victims of the attack on Khan Sheikhoun were exposed to at least two different chemical agents.

Early U.S. assessments showed the use of chlorine gas and traces of the nerve agent sarin in the attack Tuesday that terrorized the Syrian town of Khan Sheikhoun, according to two U.S. officials who weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter and demanded anonymity.

Its not just FR - its everywhere online. Almost every single alt right radio/youtube commentator I’ve been following daily for the past couple years is running around like a chicken little blabbering about the coming WWIII - Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Mike Cernovich, everyone at infowars, Lionel Media, Paul Joseph Watson, Stefan Molyneux etc ect.

I have great respect for all these people but what they have been saying since this Syria strike is really making me question their understanding of geopolitics and how Trump operates.

Bill Mitchell and Scott Adams are the only two I’ve seen talk about this that aren’t freaking out with war fears.

Trump and Putin will play nice in a few weeks and team up to finish off ISIS in Syria so Trump can build his safe zones. Assad will be forced out and Putin will replace him with a puppet that isnt friendly to us but is manageable.

Meanwhile the more important issue: China will take care of N Korea for us as was requested by Trump. This was his plan all along and it appears to be 100% working.

We are not going to war with Russia. Not gonna happen.

Not trusting CNN. I believe the gas attack was perfidy, but I don’t mind President Trump ordering the bombing of the syrian military airfield.

There was just absolutely no upside for Assad using chemical weapons.

Oh, sure, just like we had the right guy replace Gadaffi and make things work. Or Saddam. Or the Shah.

Even if you find in Syria a person who agrees with all U.S.’ objectives, he might not be skillful enough to keep the country together, something Trump warned about during the campaign.
