Meet the new boss.
Same as the old boss.
We won’t get fooled again.
G.W.Trump’s coalition of the willing.
Here we go again! George W Bush with an orange face
With ISIS/Al Quaeda/Taliban/whatever their name might be this time...
Removing Qaddafy worked out so well......
WHY?
He is not talking about military action.
Yeah, that’s the $64 question.
The only other contender is ISIS.
This worked so well in Libya...
Exactly. Another failed ME state.
a military coup like occured in Egypt(Pro American).. ISIS and the Russian get tossed out and Syria can have some much needed peace and prosperity restored to the people with our help.. I”m sure Israel would approve too.. best case scenario if they want it
ISIS, the MB, they are all the same. they just have different names. Kinda bad news for the Jews and Christians that have lived there for centuries, but who on FR gives a damn if a few thousand Jews and Christians get their heads cut off.
> Replace him with who? MB? <
Don’t be so negative. Trump getting rid of the evil Assad...it’s just like Carter getting rid of the evil Shah of Iran. And that worked out just fine. Oh, wait. Getting rid of the Shah only made things worse, much worse.
To be replaced by...?
“Putting America first. Then Syria, then...?”
That sounds nice. It will never happen. Too much religious crap going on there.
Trump needs to listen to Bannon.
Qatar, Turkey, Saudis plus pipeline
Russia as natural gas supplier to Europe at stake
He is not talking about military action.
