Preach on Good Doctor.
'If Syria really had sarin and other chemical weapons factories, does it make sense for the US to bomb the buildings and risk killing thousands by widely disbursing the poisons? Does it make sense to risk killing Syrian civilians with chemical weapons in retaliation for allegations that the Syrian government killed civilians with chemical weapons? No, it seems more like the phony “mobile WMD labs” we were told that Saddam Hussein had constructed'...
Trump’s Disastrous Syria Attack
I haven't seen this noted in the calculation as to whether this bombing of Syria was a net positive for Trump, but consider this from the Syrian side:
After all the promises by Putin and Russia, after all the defenses and troops sold and sent to the Middle East, which can be boiled down to "we'll protect you,"......
....Trump just proved to all of Russia's client-states, that they couldn't protect them from an angered United States.
Syria never attacked the US. It isn't a threat to the US at all. The Regime Change policy is illegal, and needs to be ended. We have no right dictating to all nations who their leaders will be. It represents awful Empire arrogance. It's exactly what our Founding Fathers warned against. They knew very well that all Empires fall. They themselves defeated one to create our nation.
It is a gross error on your part to restrict your view to Syria alone.
Hussein Obama made two abysmal errors
a. in leaving the field to Russia
b. in being the number one funder of the psychotics who run Iran
The slap at Syria is felt by both Russia and Iran.
It is a forceful and well designed foreign policy by an administration that needs to solve the errors of the previous administration.
I rarely disagree with you PC but on Syria I will. Obama left jack shit to the Russians. And this Syria strike was based on a false flag operation.
Timelines are everything. After Obama diddled and fiddled around pretending he was fighting ISIS Russia had no choice to become involved in this bloody mess called the Arab Spring which was nothing other than handing the keys of ME to the Muslim Brotherhood and creating multiple Salafist states. Obama's CIA was working with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey to overthrow Assad from the very beginning.
Where do I start? First off there never was a civil war. You don't have Sunni jihadists from over 80 countries pouring into Syria and financed by the Gulf States and call them rebels. You call it an invasion.
Russia did stay out of the conflict for many a year only becoming involved in September of 2015.
Motive for Putin? Sunni jihadists from Chechnya were the key players in ISIS in Syria. Chechen terrorists also pledged their allegiance to ISIS. Then a second warning from the UN that ISIS was taking over mega territory in Afghanistan and putting ISIS in Putin's back yard so to speak, left Russia no choice but to jump in and fight ISIS in Syria rather than at home.
Bottom line. We in the west had no freaking business trying to overthrow Assad and subject the Syrians to Salafism and Sharia. It boggles the mind that our governments would EVER want to subject anyone to the MB and Sharia.
On the other hand, Russia had a very valid reason to kill off ISIS and al Nusra in Syria rather than on home turf.
These strikes were based on bullshit. The Syrian Army had won Douma back from the terror group Jaish al Islam. Negotiations for a cease fire were already underway.
Assad is no fool. Risk the worlds wrath after winning back the city? Pffffffffffft. He didn't do it.
