A very large portion of Soviet arms (or parts to mfg. them) were made in what is now Ukraine (and presently contested parts of it.)
Don’t forget Isaiah 17. Things appear to be moving exponentially.
“Read 160 posts. No one is reading Ezekiel 38 and 39? This COULD be a very, very bad deal. I’m praying for no war but if so this is in God’s hands. He knows the end from the beginning.”
Bump that.
...and Would they have been doing the same in the late 30s re Nazi Germany?
I like your patriotism. /s
WHO it is (Syria, in this case), is almost irrelevant. If it had been, oh, say, Cambodia using chem weapons repeatedly, and continuing to do so after warnings and even a retaliatory strike, then they would be equally deserving of being hit, and hit hard.
If you do not understand the “why” of this, you need to study up before making further comments. And no, I am NOT saying that in a “mean” way. About 80% of all FReepers do not seem to understand the history and the grave risks of not stopping chem weapons use before it gets out of hand.
Now, if you wish to argue that the Syrians did not do the deed, then I will listen. However, as Mark Levin pointed out this evening, it appears this was an air drop, and who else in the area has the air drop capacity? Do you think the Israelis would do it? Us? The Russians themselves?
As for retaliation, Putin might try to shoot down “incoming”, but will not go nuclear, strike our ships, etc. He is pragmatic, and there is no possible upside or profit in it.
Correct. Even the Italians alone could, if push came to shove, defeat the Russians in the Med. Not without some losses, of course, but also of course, they (the Italians) would NOT be alone.
Maybe neither side is bluffing. Then what?
And he thought it would be wrapped up by late September iirc...
In a way we are already boycotting the World Cup because we didn’t qualify, LOL.
I’m sure the Russians would be devastated. (Sarcasm)
There’s no such thing as a good Chechen. They are subhuman savages.
Your post is incredibly offensive, considering the Chechen atrocities against Russian children at Beslan.
Amen, Mr. Robinson.
This is getting frightening, to put it mildly.
What retaliation? Syria is none of our business.
“There’s no such thing as a good Chechen. They are subhuman savages...
...considering the Chechen atrocities against Russian children at Beslan.”
Could say the same thing of Assad’s Syrians and the Russians who authorize Assad to gas....as he has done in the past.
Prove it. Prove that Assad gassed anyone.
Anyone with a working brain cell would be suspicious. Don’t you consider it suspicious that every time we announce that we are pulling out of Syria, a “chemical attack” conveniently happens?
Your heroes, the White Helmets, are violent islamic terrorists who are working to install sharia law in Syria and to slaughter Christians and other minorities. Although, I realize that you don’t give a damn about Syrian Christians.
I honestly can’t comprehend your violent hatred for Russians and your desire for WW3. Syria is NONE of our business.
Al-Qaeda and ISIS thank you for your support.
OK You said something you think is poignant.
Now WHY would we go to war or take the chance of starting war without Definitely knowing it was Syria, and even then, I dont know any of the 40 folks that died. Do you?
Do they mean that much to you that Americans should die?
Does Syria mean that much to us? I didn’t now we were at war with them.
Trump is playing hillary clinton very well right now.
I agree but i can think of a better word than muck.
Screw Syria. Let them all kill each other. With Russia backing him, Assad will stay in power and he is a BAD character, but what’s waiting in the wings is MUCH MUCH Worse.
At least Christians could LIVE under him.
If we find them shipping or moving around chemical weapons, take them out.
But how’s about some proof first.
NOT EVEN CLOSE TO CLOSE to worth risking WWIII!!
Do we NEVER stop putting the Sauds’ interest above our own?
Trump must get info on the gas attack from people who are not neocons and who are not in love or in bed with the Sauds.
And there’s plenty of them out there.
That image and line has never been more appropriate than now.
I didn’t know Russia was conquering nations in Europe already :)
I thought this was a bout 40 syrians i dont know dying from what might have been a chemical attack by who the hell knows.
But by all means, let’s dance for no reason :)
