Trump signals strikes against Syria, lays into Assad backer Russia

U.S. President Donald Trump warned Russia on Wednesday of imminent military action in Syria over a suspected poison gas attack, declaring that missiles “will be coming” and lambasting Moscow for standing by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Trump was reacting to a warning from Russia that any U.S. missiles fired at Syria over the deadly assault on a rebel enclave near Damascus would be shot down and the launch sites targeted.

His comments raised fears of direct conflict over Syria for the first time between the two world powers backing opposing sides in the seven-year-old civil war, which has aggravated instability across the Middle East.

“Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and ‘smart!’,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

“You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!” Trump tweeted, referring to Moscow’s alliance with Assad.

Ping me when Trump bombs DC.

Because that is what it will take, and he has property near the WH.

Everyone knows it’s a fake, including Trump, May, etc.

The reasons this is happening are:
1. The pipeline (we all know about that).
2. The military/industrial complex.
3. Saudi Arabia.
4. Israel.
5. Covering up evidence of previous false flags.
6. Distract from Stormy Daniels.

He’s not lying either time. This year he said we didn’t know if it was sarin - not that we didn’t know if it was a chemical attack. It’s being played as if he’s lying but he’s not.

No it’s not for us to fall in line behind Trump when he’s wrong. It’s not up to us to live up to Obama’s Red Line, which was merely an excuse for him to fly top cover for Isis. And it’s not up to us to just fall for any propaganda ploy.

You don’t go to war just because some jackass drew a “line in the sand,” do you?

I know your opinion is based on zero evidence.

Mattis’s isn’t.

Mattis said no evidence of Sarin, but they did find evidence of chemical weapons other than sarin.

This is not too hard to understand: There were chemical weapons used that were not sarin.

Slow down and THINK!

State Sovereignty.

Kofi Annan;

“State sovereignty, in its most basic sense, is being redefined—not least by the forces of globalisation and international co-operation. States are now widely understood to be instruments at the service of their peoples, and not vice versa. At the same time individual sovereignty—by which I mean the fundamental freedom of each individual, enshrined in the charter of the UN and subsequent international treaties—has been enhanced by a renewed and spreading consciousness of individual rights. When we read the charter today, we are more than ever conscious that its aim is to protect individual human beings, not to protect those who abuse them. “


Totalitarian leadership that violates the individual sovereignty of citizens has no moral right to claim state sovereignty.

That’s not what Mattis said. He said no evidence of SARIN.

You are nuts if you don’t understand the concept of individual sovereignty.

Well. It makes all the sense in the world if you are a ruthless dictator who wants to put the fear of God in his people to not screw with him again and if you have a powerful ally with nukes looking out for your interests.

Maybe you should wait until the USA and its allies present their evidence which they have to do in order to justify this attack.

I am not saying I support the attack but you like a bunch of others are just jumping the gun on this can’t possible be Assad.

Unfortunately we have already learned that they don’t have to “present” Jack Squat before attacking.

I'll withhold judgement until Colin Powell tells me that Sadam Assad has chemical WMD.
