If the attacks are real, I can’t imagine anyone but Israel doing it. They have done it before and they do not like Assad.

Both BBC and RT are reporting it.

Here is a video of someone in Lebanon catching it.

“It appears to be american land attack missiles #Tomahawk pass over lebanese skies targeting syrian lands. Some sources comfirmed attacks on #T4 airbase”

Do you think this the Deep State launching an attack?

I hope it kills plenty of Russians and maybe a few Turks as well. Doesn’t matter who’s doing it.

No actual confirmation.

Bend over and kiss your ass good bye. The world is over. I’ll watch some syrup on the Hallmark Network with the Wife as the Russkies drop Nukes all over the Southwest.

Missile strikes Syria. Pentagon officials say it didn’t come from the US.

We already killed 200 Russians in Syria. Bombed the crap out of them when they ignored our requests to stop mortaring our troops.

The Russians we killed were attacking our flagged forces and would not stop when we requested they do so.

I don’t know who’s behind the attack. I posted #23 because it was from a Wall St Journal reporter in DC.

“We already killed 200 Russians in Syria.”

Does

Not

Count

They were not flagged Russian forces. The difference is ENORMOUS!

Did nobody learn anything during the cold war?

I’m not sure that Assad is behind the gas attacks... I’ve seen evidence that these attacks might be false flags. But, having said that, it might be more important to retaliate if for no other reason than to send a signal to Un that we mean business.
