Never heard of a “pipeline conspiracy”

There NEVER are financial motivations to anything we do militarily! NEVER! LOL! Conspiracy theorist Brigadier General Smedley Butler, winner of 2 CMH, is an idiot! /s

“If we are warmongers does that make you guys chicken littles?”

If being called a ‘chicken little’ means I support staying out of a USELESS WAR, feel free to call me that, or anything else.

As to chemical weapons, sorry, but:
1) He had NO REASON to use them, he already defeated those animals.
2) He had NO REASON to use them, Trump was about to pull out of there.
3) I REFUSE to believe the same people who are STILL actively conspiring to throw Trump out of office.
4) And even if he did use them, why the hell do we care? Did he use them on Americans or our allies?
5) How much longer can a country that is TOTALLY BROKE (i.e., the US) be policeman to the world?

It’s revelation, and Damascus is supposed to be totally destroyed never to be rebuilt - most think this is nuclear explosion.

This didn’t just happen....planned and scheduled mo ths ago....Russians aren’t capable of responding that fast. Relax folks. Russia is trying desperately to save face.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You should read this twitter feed. People forget about the raid by Israel that happened just after the Homs gas attacks occurred. The Russians retreated en masse away from any Syria facilities. They are very vulnerable.This was proved by the joint IAF/Saudi Commando strike whichi has now vanished from the news.

The stunning fact is that the Saudis and the Israelis will now act together to contain Iran and Russia.

Just read thia and see the photos, supressed BIG NEWS, scroll down to April 15 posts and before.:

Anything in Revelations about this?

Anything in the entire Book that mentions about 60 million dead from CHOICE?

50 year old LST with a 1,000 tonne capacity. Deploying 50% of his Black Sea fleet LST capacity to Syria, Putin’s really pulling out all the stops. Magnificent stuff.

And not every day, a couple thousand or so, over the last 30 or 40 years.

Well...

...someone has to replace the ~ 3,300 killed every day, over the last 40+ years, by CHOICE.

And, if one considers angels who left their rightful place of habitation
without authorization to be illegal aliens, then we aren’t wrong.

Yeah, you’re right...let them develop all the chemical weapons they want...After all, it was just Syrian kids, wasn’t it???

The saline solutions we use here are NOT 'chemical weapons'!!

After all; these are just blobs of American tissue.

...Damascus is supposed to be totally destroyed never to be rebuilt - most think this is nuclear explosion.


Isaiah 17 New International Version (NIV)

 

17 A prophecy against Damascus:

“See, Damascus will no longer be a city
    but will become a heap of ruins.
The cities of Aroer will be deserted
    and left to flocks, which will lie down,
    with no one to make them afraid.
The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
    and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be
    like the glory of the Israelites,”
declares the Lord Almighty.

“In that day the glory of Jacob will fade;
    the fat of his body will waste away.
It will be as when reapers harvest the standing grain,
    gathering the grain in their arms—
as when someone gleans heads of grain
    in the Valley of Rephaim.
Yet some gleanings will remain,
    as when an olive tree is beaten,
leaving two or three olives on the topmost branches,
    four or five on the fruitful boughs,”
declares the Lord, the God of Israel.

In that day people will look to their Maker
    and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
They will not look to the altars,
    the work of their hands,
and they will have no regard for the Asherah poles[a]
    and the incense altars their fingers have made.

In that day their strong cities, which they left because of the Israelites, will be like places abandoned to thickets and undergrowth. And all will be desolation.

10 You have forgotten God your Savior;
    you have not remembered the Rock, your fortress.

Jer 49:24-27
 
24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus , and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.
 
 
 
Amos 1:3-5
 
3 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus , and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
5 I will break also the bar of Damascus , and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the LORD.

As long as there are no more chemical weapons attacks, that’s fine...

There are going to be more chemical attacks.

Why wouldn't there be? When Jaysh Islam gassed some of their hostages in Douma: the US, UK and France fired 103 missiles at sites under the control of Syrian government forces.

Of course there are going to be more gas attacks. Why would they stop?
