Nikki Haley, the UN Ambassador, continues the sabre rattling started by Sean Spicer earlier tonight.
Promoting Hillary’s foreign policy. And McCain’s. And Graham’s. This is not what Trump campaigned on.
The hatred against Russia is poisonous.
What about ISIS?
The deep state is willing to do whatever is necessary to bog down Trump in an unnecessary and stupid war. First the Russian collusion story didn’t work, now they need something else. There must be some deep ad very dark secrets they are desperately trying to keep from being unearthed.
Here we go again with the hysterical "Trump is a neocon" garbage from the NeverTrump crowd.
President Trump has already demostrated that he's not interested in gratuitous escalation with Syria. US responses to Syrian provocations so far—both military and political—have been very measured and proportional—the epitome of restraint...
My hope is they have credible evidence of this and Trump is putting this out there to prevent something from happening because he doesn’t want to go to war.
My concern is that we know they have been pushing increased hostility with Russia with this narrative. They want to continue to up the rhetoric and add more sanctions as well as we have expanded troops in eastern Europe. We know Hillary Clinton wanted to get us into Syria and impose a no fly zone which could have lead to a war with Russia, but of course Trump won instead. Trump has given the military more free reign, and they have shot down a Syrian plane among other actions that could lead to escalation.
We know they lied about the WMD. I am skeptical over whether Assad did the last attack as it would have been a stupid move as he is winning. ISIS would like it if we attacked Syria as they are fighting ISIS.
These things make me worry because I would hate to get dragged into a conflict with Syria. If the evidence is credible, and this prevents Assad from acting, great. The problem is if it isn’t and rebel groups get their hands on these chemical weapons and make it look like the Syrian regime. This could lead to an attack on Syria by the U.S. Then, you have Nikki Haley saying she wants to then blame Russia and Iran. That could lead to WWIII over something not done by Assad.
Here we go again. First problem is to believe anything that is reported by DEBKA. Second is to assume Trump is setting up an invasion.
One would think that people borne to logic and not emotional outbursts know Trump is not an emotional thinker, and more-so acting on it.
Being that we have eyes all over that country now and have received very early reports of material logistics that are a part of the precursors of chemical weapons in play, he can preempt that logistical move by letting them know on the world stage that we are that little annoying voice on their shoulder advising them to take heed.
Then comes ISIS. Our Kurdish allies are decimating them with our advisors help and guidance. About all that will be publicized from this administration is the known fact of what I just said. Krauthammer made a stunning statement of his analysis of the ISIS situation last week. Stunning in my book because it was not his normal globalist drivel but an insight in that all we are doing now with ISIS is the mopping up and what is now in play is what happens to Syria’s makeup after ISIS is eradicated as a fighting force. As is now being reported, their area of final stance in Mosul is less than 600 acres and shrinking rapidly. They have now been relegated to suicide attacks outside that containment. The once might force at the end of last year has now come to less than 600 acres of control.
Then the offensive in Raqqa is even going better. One has to really do some searching to find out what is going on there as again, the Kurds are tightening the noose on that offensive as well. We do have people on the ground, mostly for artillery support because we won’t make the same mistake again and just give them our latest stuff for the fear of them keeping it under control. But, the Kurds are not known to turn tail either.
So, ask yourself, where has the media been to report all of this to you? Let logic be your guide. The adults are in charge now and the petulant press is being relegated to being what they are best at, petulance. If you see something in any US reports that makes claims of the Kurds ding this and doing that sourced by the same folks who took on the meme of the “White Helmets” for their propaganda, then go ahead.
I predict when the dust starts to settle, the Kurds will again have their own autonomous homeland that the Turks will still try to use genocidal tactics to wipe them out. Syria will be a shell of itself and the comeuppance is on the horizon for Iran’s continuing and more egregious transgressions hoping it all will bring back the 12th Imam. They are in essence their own worst enemy. The Arab Shiite rule will come to an end with the resurgence of a reborn Persia.
I sure hope that a new supposed chemical attack is not being setup as a PRETEXT for bombing conducted to defend Islamist rebels in Syria.
Still no hard, impartially gathered evidence that Syria chemically attacked its own citizens. Assad isn’t stupid — he has no reason to give the USA a pretext to attack him for actions having no military value.

US Judge Rules Assad Helped Al-Qaeda Kill Americans
Russia and Syria aren’t fighting ISIS or barely if so. The Putin apologists are out again with their malarky and accusing our president of things. Maybe these Bernie Bros should go off to the DU.
The Assads have long helped terrorists,Syria has been a designated state sponsor of terrorism since 1979; Iran funnels missiles to Hezbollah and Hamas through Syria.
Syria likely even helped bomb 250 of our Marine soldiers in Beirut in 1983.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Its a good thing that wasn’t Russia’s position when Iraq was using American-supplied mustard gas on Iran. (Bechtel, George Schultz, etc)
