Syria war: Trump says missiles 'will be coming'
BBC ^ | 04/11/18

Posted on 04/11/2018 8:19:36 AM PDT by Simon Green

US President Donald Trump has tweeted that Russia should "get ready" for missiles to be fired at its ally Syria, in response to an alleged chemical attack near Damascus on Saturday.

"Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and 'smart!'" Mr Trump said in his tweet.

Senior Russian figures have threatened to meet any US strikes with a response.

President Bashar al-Assad's government denies mounting a chemical attack on the rebel-held town of Douma.

In one his tweets on Wednesday, Mr Trump called the Syrian leader a "gas killing animal".

In another, he painted a dark picture of US-Russia relations but said it did not have to be that way.

The US, UK and France have agreed to work together and are believed to be preparing for a military strike in response to the alleged chemical attack at the weekend.

This low level thinking used to be weeded out in middle school.

Then you must be a 6th grade drop-out, because here you are posting your uneducated drivel for all to see.

I really hate to say this but I think Trump is out of his league.

Wow, too bad you are not POTUS. I'm sure you would do better. Unfortunately that would require more then just your mother voting for you.

Russia needs a warm water port in the Mediterranean. Syria is it.

Those supposedly gassed people are never the real issue.

Saudis need a pipeline to Europe and US kisses Saudi fanny.

President Trump is betting played. Their has been no physical proof that this chemical attack even happened, just heated speculation. It makes no tactical or strategic sense for Assad to do this when he’s winning.>/p>

It’s been said that in war the first casualty is the truth. As Americans we have to accept the fact that our own government is at war with “We the People,” and has been for a long time.

All quiet for now.

There are, within the last 2 hours, Navy P-8A surveillance & recon aircraft on a rotating patrol over the E Med.

They are a 737 variant with added wideband satellite communication capability. It has enhanced Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Anti-surface Warfare (ASuW) capabilities and expanded electronics for partner coordination.

We’ve definately got our eyes and ears open.

I’ll be very surprised if we don’t attack in the next 48 hours or so.

The Saudis have wanted Assad out, so they can stop the pipeline. You know, Saudi Arabia, that paragon of virtue and model of how to treat citizens.

Does anyone know the GCC and IDF are actually allies??

Bolton is a amateur

They lied about the Serbs in Bosnia and Kosovo
