Well, it would save the government money if Trump stopped using Air Force One.
Didn’t Trump just last week say he wanted to prepare to leave Syria?
And then, suddenly, all the media are telling us about another Putin/Assad chemical attack, milking us for outrage.
Hmmmm
Same sh!t, different decade.
Where are the Congressional hearings with "victims" claiming they saw Syrian troops removing babies from incubators in a Ghouta hospital?
Fake Atrocity they mean.
Is there any actual evidence from independent/non-Islamist sources that “Assad” carried out this “attack”? Or is that simply being assumed without any actual verification?
America needs to leave Syria now. This is a gamble by ISIS to turn Syria into its own territory backed by Soros.
Oh, a no fly zone? Just like Hillary and every other 2016 GOP candidate besides Trump wanted?
Ain’t that just a funny little coincidence? This whole gas attack scam is laughable.
It seems that such a situation could rapidly expand into a much more serious confrontation. What would the USA do if Russia declared a no-fly zone over Syria? And backed it up with a salvo of cruise missiles aimed at the airbases and carriers that our airplanes fly from? Then what would we do?
All the neocons are out telling Trump what to do. I hope he does the opposite.
Sounds good. But the Democrats are trying to topple Trump as President, as they see their investment in ISIS falling apart in Syria and they need to salvage that operation. And no I’m not crazy. ISIS flourished under Obama, and only died in the last 2 years.
Oh, perfect: a NY rag giving military advice.
Following the always prescient advise of the NYT, President Hillary authorized a no-fly zone in Syria, thus the first of many dogfights between the USAF and the Russian Air Force, Unfortunately, following Russian military doctrine, Putin authorized the use of nuclear weapons; I write this from the Presidential bun ...
I’m sorry. The hubris is overwhelming.
Trumps instincts (voiced recently) are correct. Get out now. If the Europeans want their oil supply protected, they can man up and intervene themselves. If Saudi Arabia and Israel are afraid of Iran, they can form an alliance to defend each other. If Turkey and Iran are rivals, so be it. The region has been in turmoil throughout recorded history and US intervention has only made the situation worse by removing Sadaam who was the buffer between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
The founding fathers warned future generations to avoid alliances and foreign entanglements. Since WWII we’ve wasted trillions of dollars and over 100,000 American lives intervening in regional conflicts around the world. What do we have to show for it?
What our leaders don’t seem to understand is if the US returns to its isolationist past new balances of power will emerge to counter China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The Europeans will have to get involved in the Middle East to protect their energy supply. It is not in the interest of India, China, Vietnam, Philippines, Japan, Australia and Indonesia to allow China to economically and militarily dominate south Asia. They will come together to counter Chinese expansion. Europe will also have to defend itself against Russian expansion. Japan will not want a nuclear North Korea next to it and will have to deal with the situation. Iran, without the US (Big Satan) in the region will be focused on Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. If the US goes home, Israel will have to create other alliances or perish. Russia and China are natural rivals. Eliminate their mutual rival (USA) from Eurasia and they will become focused on each other.
American politicians have the US military involved in conflicts around the world yet are unwilling to deploy resources to prevent the ongoing invasion and occupation of the nation across its southern border. Without secure borders for the homeland, it really doesn’t matter what is happening in Afghanistan, North Korea, Iran, or China. More US citizens are killed each year by foreign illegal immigrants and refugees than were killed on 9/11. In fact 9/11 would not have happened if the US wasn’t occupying territory in the Middle East and interfering in the affairs with sovereign nations in the region. It is laughable for the elites of the US media and political sphere to be outraged about Russian interference in the 2016 elections when the CIA and US military have been actively engaged in government change around the world by force since WWII.
Bring the troops home. Use them to secure the border. Rebuild our economy and industrial infrastructure. Invest the savings in hardening the infrastructure against EMP and an effective missile defense system. Let other nations deal with their own issues without us.
The Russians, Chinese, North Korea, Iran, and others have no interest in reducing the power of Canada, Brazil, Mexico, or Argentina? Why? Those nations are not bothering them.
Not our problem. Let’s let Assad win, and the civil war will be over. We have too many wars going on, and this one is not serving our interests.
no, a better use of air power would be the total destruction of all syrian military headquarters and communications capability
Right. Pure genius. What could go wrong.
I am glad we can rely on the NY post editorial staff to come up with a bonehead suggestion.
So, if a Russian chopper or plane rises, we are going to shoot them down?
That is so stupid it’s just hilarious.
There’s nothing worth defending in Syria..
“NY Post urges full military confrontation against Russia, including the release of nuclear devices!”
You see, shooting down Russian MiGs to enforce a “No Fly Zone” is the same as wanting global thermonuclear war.
