Unless it’s a full war, I don’t understand why people are more mad about this than Trump signing the budget.

Kazan: Why would Assad use chemical weapons? To regain control of his country faster.

Yeah? How is getting bombed by America going to help Assad "regain control of his country faster?" Trump was ready to leave Syria and now he's not. Assad didn't benefit from this chemical attack. Only Assad's enemies benefited.

“Stop listening to Alex Jones and reading Prison Planet.”

Oh I see..so any conservative who thinks risking WW3 over a highly questionable chemical attack is a simple minded dolt who has to rely on Alex Jones in order to formulate a geopolitical stance.

Why don't you stop reading National Review and the rest of the neo-con drivel and start thinking for yourself? You make us deplorable conservatives sound crazy.

Speaking of Eliot Spitzer, I am pretty sure I saw him walking out of the courthouse on TV footage a few hours ago, the same courthouse where S Daniels and her lawyer were expected to appear.

Oh for God's sake. So because Stone had communications with Guccifer 2.0 then he de facto becomes a part of Russian intelligence himself? That's some huge leaps in logic you are making. Mueller got Manafort for the process crime of lying to an FBI agent. If Stone had ANY substantial connections to Russian intell, Mueller would have already charged him with multiple felonies. Mueller has NOTHING on Stone.

What a drama queen. Dropping a few bombs in Syria isn't going to start WWIII. All it does is make Russia and Assad expend more resources and work harder.

Assuming the attack was staged as as crazy as 9/11 truther nonsense. It's crazy.

I answered that. Assad thought he could get away with it AGAIN with the help of the Russians.

He's committed 50 such attacks and most have gone undetected.

Assad was winning, we had said we were withdrawing

He and Russia want to win faster and easier. Chemical weapons accomplish that goal.

Paranoia blocks out reason. The staged chemical attacks are as crazy as the 9/11 truth nonsense. Everything is a conspiracy.

Award-winning Journalist Says Syria Did Not Use Chemical Weapons

https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/foreign-policy/item/26359-award-winning-journalist-says-syria-did-not-use-chemical-weapons

The New American | 27 June 2017

According to Seymour Hersh, a journalist who has won the Pulitzer Prize, President Donald Trump ordered the bombing of Syria in April, despite having no evidence that the Bashar al-Assad government had used chemical weapons in the Syrian Civil War. In fact, Hersh contends that Trump ignored evidence to the contrary when he used 59 Tomahawk missiles to bomb Syria in retaliation against the Assad regime.

“None of this makes any sense,” Hersh reported one U.S. officer saying upon hearing of the planned bombing raid on Syria. “We KNOW that there was no chemical attack.… Claiming we have the real intel and know the truth … I guess it didn’t matter whether we elected Clinton or Trump,” the officer lamented.

The ad hominem attack does nothing for your baseless position.

The ad hominem attack that Trump fired him when he found out he was nuttier than a Payday bar?

Or that the candidate he supported before him before was quite literally a whore?

Sources: Roger Stone quit, wasn’t fired by Trump in campaign shakeup

Roger Stone > 2016–present: Trump ‘16 and Russia

Stone served as an advisor to the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump. Stone left the campaign on August 8, 2015 amid controversy, with Stone claiming he quit and Trump claiming that Stone was fired. Despite this, Stone still supported Trump. A few days later, Stone wrote an op-ed called “The man who just resigned from Donald Trump’s campaign explains how Trump can still win” for Business Insider.

Despite calling Stone a “stone-cold loser” in a 2008 interview and accusing him of seeking too much publicity in a statement shortly after Stone left the campaign, Donald Trump praised him during an appearance in December 2015 on Alex Jones’ radio show that was orchestrated by Stone. “Roger’s a good guy,” Trump said. “He’s been so loyal and so wonderful.” Stone remained an informal advisor to and media surrogate for Trump throughout the campaign.”

Trump choosing an answer with Alex Jones that would move the discussion to what he really wanted to talk about.

In every war fought since the 1960s, American made military equipment did better than Soviet/Russian hardware. Look at the Six Day War of 1967, Vietnam War air combat, and the First Gulf War. These wars were fought at a time when the Soviet Union was spending a fortune on its military establishment and supplying their Middle East allies with their equipment. Post-Soviet Russia has not spent a similar amount of resources to upgrade their military. Despite degradation of the military under Obama, our naval and air superiority is unquestionable.

In this raid, Russia blinked.

So Russia has NO capacity to retaliate simply because you present a pic of rusty old submarines? I suppose they don’t have ICBMs any more; nor do they have the ability to hack our power grid.

We can crush Russia anytime we want; what you moronic war hawks don’t seem to comprehend is that the risk/reward ratio over questionable chemical attacks simply is not worth it.

Russia's means of retaliation would be turning off the tap.

And their leftover military equipment from the 90's (and earlier) are toxic waste....except for the ICBM's they never use?
