The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 996 - Politics and Economics

RV Life,

Na you are a liar making false claims. I voted for Hillary as the clear lesser of two evils as repeatedly stated and strongly supported Bernie Sanders in the primary.

I don't even understand what you are trying to say with your second point there as it is absolute garbage and a bizarre assertion and assumption you are making about me.

I am anti-war and pro truth. I am deeply concerned when the warmongering neoliberals and warmongering neocons align and it seems like we are on the precipice of a very dangerous situation that is going to result in grave loss of life and cause more suffering for poor civilians.

You are a liar and are wholly uninformed regarding the history of US foreign policy and the current situation in Syria, the middle east, and Russia/China. Your opinion is worthless and your lies are pathetic.

You are part of the problem.

LOL @ you voting for Clinton.

But OK Dan, I'll humor you.

What was your point when you posted the quote by HC? You never did get around to it. What was the point? Other people asked you directly and you ignored them yet focused on my post.

Maybe this take is me being super edgy, but Assad has been killing scores of children by the truckload with conventional weapons for years now. I get that chemical weapons violate international norms and there's good reasons why these weapons are different, but it's still weird to me that we're just now deciding that this is a situation that needs urgent action.

PS -- Can we all just ****ing ignore HastenDan for like one day? Please?

Has there been a reasonable explanation on Assad's motive?

This Atlantic article tries but I am not sure I am entirely convinced

Does this sound familiar? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghouta_chemical_attack [2013]

Quote:

The Syrian opposition,[34] as well as many governments, the Arab League and the European Union[35][36][37] stated the attack was carried out by forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.[38] The Syrian and Russian governments blamed the opposition for the attack,[34] the Russian government calling the attack a false flag operation by the opposition to draw foreign powers into the civil war on the rebels' side.

That "false flag" did not lead to the neo-cons invading Syria in a protracted war, rather they forced Assad to peacefully give up a lot of his chemical weapons. Maybe... it wasn't a false flag

So we fired about 60 missiles at the Syria, at an air base.

Launching missiles in Syria + Trumps steady leadership = what could possibly go wrong.

I mean does anyone really blame him? They were gassing innocent people including children. I hope they took out their target, but I wouldn't be surprised if they killed a bunch of innocent people in the process.

I believe the warning came prior to the attack.

Also I am reading now that the US gave Russia a headsup.

lookin up the donald, 90% of threads in the past 4 hours were about how this was a false flag, that syria didnt have chemical weapons, that the media were trying to drag us into a war, that trump was too smart to fall for it, bblablablabla

none of which will be acknowledged in the next hour

I'm in a hotel room watching Al Jazeera. Holy crap they do not hold back on the chemical attack footage. Just unspeakable.

Having said that - do you think the 300 civilians recently killed by US bombs in Mosul feel any different than the civilians killed in this gas attack? If Assad kills the same # of kids with regular bombs it's a total non-story. But he embarrassed Daddy. Can't have that.

Also how surreal is it that Al Jazeera is reporting on the US starting a war - from Palm Beach - in the middle of the week.

to be fair, if I filter by "New" there are a few gold comments.

of course the rhetoric will change in the next few hours and theyll be back to thier normal selves, here are a few nice tidbits

I just read Hillary saying we should attack their airbase and that's precisely what Trump did. I voted for Donald "America First" Trump, not that globalist *****.
