Russia has no intentions of trying to win a war with the US, because they know that they can’t. What they could do is go Samson on the US and I do not understand why deep state would want that. What good is it to rule a nuclear wasteland?
FUMS
get with the program
If this is a one time slap against the use of chemical weapons...then that’s fine... but if this is the beginning of a campaign to oust Assad then it is a dumb mistake...the rebels who oppose him are worse than he is.
“Do you want war with Russia? “
*facepalm*
Do these people serious hear themselves sometimes?
Savage ping! (I’d sure like to see how it was determined that assad did this poison gas attack. Cui bono?)
I’m not a conservative peacenik.
I’m a conservative pragmatist. I want to see the proof that Assad used sarin.
What we saw in Syria with the chemical weapons attack, regardless how it happened, was a major foreign policy fail by Russia, per a previous UN agreement. I seriously doubt Russia would go to war over that to save face. Anything is possible but why when they were responsible for making sure Assad’s chemical weapons were gone. Either Assad fooled them or they knew.
Trump could be hammering their failures in Syria but he is being diplomatic and soon we’ll be getting together to hammer out our differences. Peace through strength.

Funny how everyone is ready to start a war with Russia over the totally bogus assertion they cheated Hillary out of her much deserved presidency, but then when Russia gets implicated (correctly or not) in war crimes everyone wants to play nice with them.
The last war with Russia was entirely asymmetrical, involving brush wars, proxy armies, coups and counter coups. It went on for 50 years and millions died. It was not pretty.
Its not a matter if we want or don’t want war with Russia. Its a matter of keeping our eye on the ball, be clear what our principles and interests are, and don’t get dragged into something that doesn’t serve one or the other.
In this case, I don’t want to go to war to serve the interests of a Saudi king, or Muslim Brotherhood. But I also don’t want an Iranian proxy in a position to rain missiles onto Israel... nor do I want Al Qaeda in Damascus raining missiles down onto Israel. Some conflicts have no good guys, and we had better be clear what we are about or we’ll get sucked into something that just gets our people killed for no real purpose.
What all these folks fail to understand is that Abba Father YHWH is in control. Damascus will become a ruinous heap. Commercial Babylon will fall in one hour. There is strong indications from various Torah codes that this all starts happening shortly after September 21, 2017 when Hebrew year 5778 begins.
While a war with Russia is one outcome. There are many outcomes to this. A war with Russia would not happen for one reason, Russia cannot afford a war once Winter hit.
Savage, Ingraham, Coulter...
Handing the left everything they need to topple Trump.
Well done, morons.
Savage is a nitwit. No one wants war with Russia and Russia does not want war with us.
North Korea and muslim countries are the threats.
Let’s all stand very still and maybe the rest of the world won’t notice us and leave us alone.
Trump has no intention of going to war with Russia. This was a surgical strike aimed at showing Assad a “displeasure” for using chemical weapons and that it will happen again if he and Russia use such weapons again. People knee jerk over something like this to a point that they begin building bomb shelters and hoarding food then dig out their “terrorist” binoculars to look terrorists in the neighborhood all the while dodging bullets from our own American gangsters. Ugh.
No! I want a *RACE* with Russia.
They take out the "rebels" and we take out Assad. Whoever attains their goal first is declared the "WINNER" and then proceeds to assist the "loser" in attaining its goal.
I don’t want any military action unless and until we are either actually attacked or in imminent danger of being so.
The entirety of the Middle East, Africa and/or China is not worth the bones and blood of a single American enlisted man.
The form of government any other nation-state has, or how it treats is citizens is not worth the expenditure of one taxpayer cent to change. Yes, intel must be collected, but other than that, not one damned dime of taxpayer money.
Hear, hear, hear!
Well said and great post!
