Even the UN walked that one back
They have people over there
Move the UN to Syria!
I turned off the TV after seeing and hearing this wormy globalist shill. Thank god for internet radio. It's a driving force for #MAGA and peace.
If we bombed regions we suspected of committing serious acts...we would have to bomb parts DC.
He should have said “thanks obama”
1. A poison gas attack occurred, maybe, in Douma, Syria, an area held by opponents of Assad.
2. Assad is winning the war on the ground. In actuality, he has no reason to use poison gas on anybody and risk more outside involvement. If the gas attack occurred at all, signs seems to point to a possible false flag operation, designed to get the US involved against Assad.
3. Trump knows all of this. He is a lot smarter than me and has access to much better intelligence, I think.
4. Trump knows also that, when you are being provoked like this, the best response is to do nothing. There will be no missile attack on Syria over this.
5. To make it look like he is actually doing something, Trump has moved significant naval forces into the area. This has forced the Russians to sortie their fleet in the Med and has scared the Syrians, I'm sure. It has also put the US in position for kinetic action if needed in the future. For now, the presence of a carrier battle group in the Eastern Med will have a considerable calming effect on everyone's behavior.
5. Being the genius that he is, Trump has decided to go with a course of action that faces Putin down and gives the US military a chance to monitor Russian tactics, communications, and radar operations.
The world is lucky to have this guy as POTUS.
Trust Mattis.
Why the rush? Apparently the uniparty on both sides of The Pond had a plan.
Looks like Trump has disrupted it.
Works for me.
I think the delay is to buy time to get more allies participating in the attack. The UK and France are positioning themselves for action. If there is an attack, I would love to see Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and other Arab countries participate since it directly affects their security.
FNC has some smart people. Brian Kilmeade is there to balance them out. Fair And Balanced you know. Same with Whorealdo.
FNC hasn’t been reliable since the EU got a hold of the Murdochs by their short hairs.
Trump’s memoirs are going to be one heck of a read.
Yeah, I really trust Mattis. As Sec. of Defense he has the authority to overrule and defacto overrule his underlings who are making these decisions. He chooses not to. He chooses not to take actions that he spoke strongly in favor in the past. He is, to me, the biggest disappointment of this administration. I sometimes wonder if Ivanka, via POTUs, is preveting him from acting. But his public spat in favor of transgenders makes me think it's mostly just him.
I think he spoke to Russia behind the scenes. And is covering for them in exchange for their better behavior...not solely w/regard to Syria but in general.
Russia has had a rough week too with double whammy sanctions plus ruble collapse. They also have a lot more to lose — as some freepers have pointed out, with the World Cup around the corner.
I have been seriously considering for many months Brian Kilmeade is a TOOL!!!....and I would like nothing better if he would leave F&F
He’ll have to self-publish. None of the Euroweenie media conglomerates giving unipartiers those 7 figure book deals will sign him.
Kilmeade isn’t the problem. He’s just its mouthpiece.
