You know as well as I do that the UK is a puppet of US foreign policy.
Fine, that's the price you pay for getting your ass bailed out of WW2. Your'e welcome. But don't be taking credit for shit you didn't do.
It's also not clear who's attacking the civilians.
Not really sure it matters, as there is a tremendous amount of overlap among Syrian rebels, and ISIS. I think the west is content to believe that both sides are to blame.
If you think Asshat actually used Chemical weapons, then you're not very smart.
No, if you think Asshat was framed, you're smoking more than weed.
For one, doing so would risk losing Russia, the only reason he isn't already fucked.
Maybe he figures that losing Russia is an inevitability now that Hillary lost.
Secondly, if America did indeed have smoking gun evidence that Asshat did it, then instead of bombing an airfield, they should be talking to Russia.
Who says we're not talking to Russia? And bombing the airfield seems like an appropriate and measured response. It also gives some 'teeth' to whatever we might say to Russia.
Imagine if Putin was presented with 100% proof that Asshat is using chemical weapons.
I'm imagining it. I'm imagining he doesn't care as long as it doesn't start shit with the US. And for the last 8 years, Asshat has been able to use his chemical weapons, and the worst thing that happened was we made him promise, really hard, that he got rid of his chemical weapons. But silly America, we forgot to check and see if he had his fingers crossed when he said that.
What is Putin supposed to be worried about?
Also, you say shit like the use of chemical weapons is a national threat to the USA, but did you know that USA have plenty of chemical weapon stockpiles themself?
So? The problem occurs when they get into the hands of terrorists. Assad is battling rebels who are armed, funded, and control territory where they've won hearts and minds of the people. I wouldn't say that Assad has a 'lock hand' here. If he loses, and the bad guys get the chemical weapons, the whole world is in deep fucking shit.
It seems far far far less likely that rebels will overthrow the US government and acquire its chemical weapons.
Kind of a big difference there smokey
That's a national security threat to everyone else,
Sucks for them. USA! USA! USA!
especially since USA have been arming militant Muslims for decades.
Right, the more they fight with each other, the less they fight with us. Can you imagine if all of these factions figured out that they all worship the same Mohammed, and then united together?
It took a day for Trump to bomb Syria for the chemical attack.
Too long
That tells me that he is either reckless (not waiting for absolute proof of both the nature of the incident, and those responsible),
What fucking planet do you live on? Can you tell me, how being an unemployed pothead has given you expert insight into how long it should take to verify the source of an attack? And what makes you think that Trump hasn't been presented with this evidence?
a puppet (it wasn't his decision)
Whose was it then? And fuck if you if you're about to say 'Bannon'
or just an outright fucking liar.
Maybe it titillates your jerk-pole to think about conspiracies where the POTUS fabricates reasons for using military force on other sovereign nations for fun, but here in reality, that doesn't happen.
The best motive I can think of it posturing, making sure Russia know that he's capable of pressing the button. And that isn't very good to imagine either.
Why? Demonstrating to Russia that their alliance with Assad is untenable should make them more open to negotiations. It's not like Putin and Assad have some kind of familial bond. If Assad could be replaced with someone that both the US and Russia can get along with, then everybody wins.
With Assad, Russia holds all the cards. They have all the control and influence in Syria and the US has none. That seems like the worst possible scenario.
Apparently, Putin has said that he has evidence that the Yanks are preparing an attack on Damascus, with the intent of blaming Asshat.
Since when is Putin credible?
Can anyone tell me why Asshat would use chemcial weapons, when doing so is of minor military gain, while risking everything?
Jesus man, STOP DRINKING BONG WATER
He's fighting a rebel faction that is armed, funded, and controls territory. We're not talking about some local militia with rifles. His position in his own country is not exactly rock solid. Maybe this was a hail mary (you may need to look up what that means if all you ever watch is the dumb kind of football)
Or maybe he just figured he could get away with it, like he has before. Maybe he assumed that this attack would have the same outcome as every other attack he's launched....the US does nothing, and Russia gets his back.
