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.

Forgot to mention we launched an E3TF AWACS circling over S Turkey about 3 hours ago.

This is our way of letting the Russkies know we have assets in place that can scan all over Syria.

So Turkey, who is aligned with Russia and Putin, are going to allow the US to use their airspace to attack Assad who is backed by Russia and Putin? I call BS on this whole thing.

Last month Russian media said US backed rebels were preparing a chemical attack in Syria.

“helping prop up Assad against the Saudi and CIA supported Sunni jihadis? “

That’s not what’s happening now. Not even close. Did you know the GCC and Israel are actually allies?

Who got ISIS out of Iraq? It wasn’t our troops... so who was it?

"Sad that Trump is falling for this."

His gang of permanent government advisers are setting him up for democrats to make a case that he's unstable, exactly what they said they'd do. That's why they're all cheering him on.

How anyone, especially Trump, believes that the people who are dedicated to destroying Trump are cheering for anything he does unless it's a mistake is beyond me. When "open borders" Chuck Schumer is in favor of something you know damn well it's something anyone who wants the swamp drained shouldn't do.

Jumping straight to full "War for Fun & Profit" mode based on reports from the jihadists thugs who lie every time they open their mouths is exactly the sort of thing a lot of people who turned out and voted for Trump were voting against more than they were voting for Trump.

Read post 70. The Saudi Arabia of today is not the Saudi Arabia of the past. It all changes when Trump met with Gulf leaders in 2017. Did you watch what the leader of Qatar said at the meeting with Trump?

MbS talked recently about the problem of the mosque on the Dome of the Rock. I’d bet there will be some sort of reconciliation so Israel can build a temple there. Saudi’s grand Mufti said it is a sin to attack and kill Jews.

Seems like a lot of people don’t have a clue what’s currently going on in the gulf states.

The quicker we extract ourselves from that mess, the better. On all sides. How about we use some of that money, to make ourselves completely energy independent, so that we don’t have more young Americans dying in the sand, to prop up friendly dictatorships and oil oligarchs. Those people have been at war for thousands of years and they’ll continue to war. Let them sort it out.
