God help America. It’s well and good to be agin’ something but not when that takes the place of supporting something else which deserves it.

Is the US willing to put everything on the table, to support the now-defeated Jaish al Islam (Army of Islam)? Because threatening Russia will pay a “high price” for something that Saudi-sponsored Jihadist terrorists did is kind of like putting everything on the table.

Jack Posobiec just tweeted that Trump didn’t write this morning’s threatening tweets? Who did? John Bolton? Nikki Haley? Can we please get Trump back in charge and pull out of Syria very soon like he promised just days ago?

Read online a few days ago Israel was very concerned about Trump walking away from Syria, leaving it as the only one still engaged in the region. What are the chances Bibi or some other interested party in Tel Aviv had a hand in this? It is just too coincidental as to timing.

The McCain neocons and Obama holdovers running the State Department have made it clear that America has friends:

And America has enemies:

Sad.

Not really European or successful. It was not possible for them to project power without our involvement. They “toppled” him by having us do it for them.
And they created a hellhole that is now the gateway of all of Africa to come to Europe. They gave Al Qeida a base. They furthered the Syrian adventure. And wiped out the one Arab leader that was cooperating with the war on terror and voluntarily gave the USA his chemical weapons.

Washington warned us. Foreign entanglements kill this country as do political parties. I am beyond sick of it all. Let me be blunt: I don’t give a sh*t about a Syrian or any other people in other sh*thole countries. I have to care because WE manipulate and destroy them in the first place by deciding what is good for them or other ulterior motives? GTFO! America first is simply that. That’s not isolationist but pragmatic and logical.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to flimflam the public. The Iraqis threw infants out of incubators in Kuwait. Imagine you are a dictator with a rebel insurgency. If you use chemical weapons the U.S. will increase its efforts to unseat you. You decide to kill a few dozen women and children with a gas attack. Yeah. That makes sense. We might be able to duplicate our success in Libya. What ever happened to the Congress declaring war?

Seems like common explosions don't make the front page like they used to. Now there's a new "hook" guaranteed to grab the headlines and force action. It's barbaric, pictures of gas attack victims are shocking and sickening. Anonymous, leaves little or no evidence who did it.

Not sure who is behind it, but I can see what it's doing to Syria. Increasingly destabilized.

Who benefits? Trump is feeling the heat as he's forced to rethink pulling out of Syria. Potential quagmire here. Putin is probably smiling about this, wouldn't surprise me if this was his idea in the first place.

It seems like Trump is being played by the Deep State. I hope he is able to see through it and walk away from Syria. Now.

Is McCain really saying anything?

Or is a “spokesman” for him parroting the Soros line?

McCain is deep into his brain cancer, if it is real.

Absolutely it’s a setup, and why is Trump falling for it? He starts talking about getting our troops out of this no-win, crap conflict, and whaddya know? ... a convenient gas attack to paint Assad as a monster.

Tyrants in Africa are torturing, murdering, and sometimes eating their enemies, and nobody squawks that we should send our guys there.

Get the US out of the endless Muslim wars and let them kill each other from now until they’re all dead. There is nothing good for our country in any of these conflicts.

Our “nation’s leaders” are the American people. We didn’t hire Trump to do regime change in Syria, ever think of that?
Who died and made you spokes person for us American people?
Only a child would think to make that claim.

I'll note you could not refute the purpose I presented of why Putin would back the chemical attack of civilians. That's what others will be thinking about.

Why would Assad use chem weapons NOW when he is winning and winning easily?

He can jsut use conventional weapons or even barrel bombs at worse and get his way

This chem attack is bogus, Assad is getting frame by thejihadis

What if this is ISIS launching chemical attacks, prompting us to weaken the Assad regime for them?

Since Assad and Putin have the city pretty much surrounded, why not allow outsiders in to check it out?
