I hope Trump has concrete evidence for doing this...
Because Russia has cruise missiles too.
And really great SAMs on the ground.
And We are in Syrian airspace WITHOUT the permission of the Syrian government.
And who does Trump think will take power from Assad? ISIS? Another radical group?
From Bad to Worse.
“I hope Trump has concrete evidence for doing this...”
“Because Russia has cruise missiles too.”
But Trump and Putin are buddies! Fact, Putin elected
Trump! If you don’t believe me, ask any democRat!
Assad already fully supports Hezbollah, the bunch that blew up a Jewish center in Argentina and has already been active south of the border training narcoterrorists...with the help of Cuba.
And he was more than happy to support ISIS back when he thought they would be too busy fighting American troops to threaten him.
>>>I hope Trump has concrete evidence for doing this...
He ought to, because he planned it. He had the CIA plant the gas so that he could have a show of strength while dining with the Chinese Premier. Hey, it is as plausible as all the other deep state conspiracies being thrown around.
And We are in Syrian airspace WITHOUT the permission of the Syrian government.
And Russia is in Ukrainian territory without the permission of the Ukrainian government. Going to get rough for them there if Putin starts playing games with AAA in Syria.
Amen!
The Russians probably gave us the coordinates and maps. They obviously didn’t tip off the Syrians.
The SAM’s weren’t able to do their job.
Russian SAMs are excellent. Strange how they didn’t knock down the slow moving Tomahawk. Hmmm.
Obama started this a few miles from a Russian base that had been there since the 70s. We better not be in a proxy war, but then again, we have been for decades.
Or turkey. All bad choices.
Because Russia has cruise missiles too.
Good points...Russia was informed this attack would take place so I would assume they agreed not to interfere. Not sure that agreement is open ended though.
$75,000,000 of ordnance to take out 9 planes and damage some concrete?
US as an agent of war creation?
“And We are in Syrian airspace WITHOUT the permission of the Syrian government.”
Listen, Assad used nerve gas on a bunch of civilians. This week is 100 years since we got into WW1 - where poison gas was used for the first time, and it was supposed to be the last time. Assad was supposed to get rid of his poison gas in 2014...and he clearly didn’t. To allow this (as Obama did) without response is to normalize the use of such weapons. What Trump did was to say, “Neither you nor anyone else had better use this type of weapon again.”
Just in case you haven’t figured it out, our troops can be the victims of this, and so can our (or friendly) civilians - and that this particular genie needs to be put back in the bottle for good.
Anyway, what would you expect, that the Syrian government would say, “Hey, that’s fine, come in and bomb us - but only tonight, after that the deal is off.” ????? No $hit we didn’t have their permission...and so bleeding what!?
Consider for a moment, that if Assad is ousted...Putin annexing Syria and controlling the desired pipeline Saudi Arabia wants.
