you think maybe the swamp is draining him?

 

59 Tomahawk missiles on Shayrat AF base in Syria should make quite an impression on Assad.
We'll see if he continues to murder his civilian population.

 

really not sure if it was assad or not but trump has those close to him saying it was
i appreciate not drawing a red line in the sand and just fucking them up
having dinner w china and launching missiles is pretty bad ass

 

Don't quite know what you mean about not being sure if it was Assad...You mean the Russians on their own?
The chemicals were dropped by a Sukhoi aircraft, certainly Russian. Nothing new, except a US attack behind it.
Makes it all quite different than the last 7 years of slaughter of these innocents.

 

i was just saying isis could have been behind it
why wouldn't they want to bring the hammer down on assad?
i guess there is more info on aircraft type etc. that i don't know about

 

Yeah, I guess so. As long as it's not our babies.

 

yeah he did
after dropping warning leaflets and drawing red lines
i hope this is just a sobering fuck you for murdering innocents
i know as a true libertarian you want no part of anything outside our interests and we were not attacked
but IF this asshole truly murdered his own people like that i am satisfied w this response
and especially the timing of it w n korea pulling their bs and china at dinner
did it also take the whole russia thing off the table?
sure it did and at the same time it told the rest of the world we are no longer the same pussies of the last 8 years
i don't want a war, especially if russia gets involved but it seems like someone needed to make a statement
not like you see a lot of leaders in the world murdering their own in this fashion atm

 

Yes...And no one knows better than the Russians about killing their own people. Stalin made Hitler look like an amateur at genocide. They probably get the" murdering your own" brass ring since the earth has been populated by humans. Maybe it just doesn't phase them.
Maybe it is a mitochondrial level thing.
Whatever it is...How can it be ignored by those who can do something about stopping it?

 

Thank God I don't think the way you do.
The enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.

 

No emotions and bluffing and drawing fake lines in the sand is the way, eh?
Yeah we had that I think. Yep.
Especially dealing with people, who for their whole history, have understood and only reacted to power and might. Who laugh at diplomacy and spit in the face of indeciveness. A slaughter a few here and there.
Yes, definitely let's get a coalition together...Or wait for the UN. Then paint the US Marines helmets blue, and pretend it's a " coalition". Pretend like anyone else is prepared to take that risk...Talk it out.
Sheeeeiitttt...They're not our kids dyin'...Fuck 'em.

 

so in that view we're now at war with Syria?

To accomplish what?

The Russians were 'supposed' to have confiscated all of their chemical weapons years ago.
so much for the Russians

Rube makes an interesting (conspiracy) theory a few posts back
Does this neatly get Trump off the hook for his inside Russian connections

Perhaps but only to the most shallow viewers... most Americans
Otherwise it was a strike of no consequence
Except perhaps to North Korea
Like that would matter anyways
