As I said in another post: If Assad had used incendiaries instead of nerve gas against ISIS, would the slow-roasting of some children have been superior to asphyxiation? And finally, why was this OUR business to “punish” Assad? Don’t European armies have cruise missiles? Let them be “a global force for good”. Now we’re doing the business of neo-cons and globalists with a smile.

Ask yourself what could possibly convince Trump to do this?

Direct threat to deliver Iranian nukes?

Blackmail to stop nuking major US city?

On it’s face this makes no sense.


To: bobsunshine
Question. Has anyone seen a damage assessment?

I mean, we warn Russia. Russia warns Assad. Assad warns his generals. The generals move all the valuable crap outta there, and we just spent hundreds of millions to bust up some concrete.

I agree a message was sent. Don’t know if we agree on what the message was.

I understand he had to do something. This looks like Kabuki to me.

Trump just lost most of his younger supporters and the people who were with him the whole time. Don’t expect to see many people protesting for Trump or defending Trump on social media now. This was a monumental own goal by Trump. What he has lost in domestic support will have devastating consequences when the attacks on Trump heat up.
