Syria - bit quick off the mark?

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

It's amazing to see how people of all political ideologies/beliefs (far left-far right) can see the falsehood of these arguments. Especially after all the clear alternative facts states by the Trump loonies. People didn't believe the constant lies coming out of Trumps twitter account, they are unlikely to believe these lies. What's amazing is how they can just crack on without giving a damn about what anybody thinks - sounds like democracy eh?

You always have to consider, in these situations, who benefits? Grumman Northrop shares must be down a bit.



As an aside, I don't remember the same scrutiny of POTUS when Obama started bombing Syria.

Knee jerk reaction without proof or substance. And the PM is trying to get into bed with this loon. 'The UK fully backs the decision' - I read this morning. Whit?! Is this what being out the EU means, agreeing with everything the US does and hope it means we get a nice fluffy trade deal.

Syria forces had no reason to take this action, they're winning. That much is obvious. The US just gave ISIS support this morning.

Are you suggesting that the CIA was somehow responsible for using the chemical weapons?

What? No. What made you think that? I'm saying Trump administration grabbed this opportunity to focus media's attention on something other than domestic problems.

Tusk, on behalf of the EU, and France and Germany have endorsed Trump's action. WTF has Brexit got to do with it?

Are you saying Trump spent $90 million to deflect attention? I don't think so. Houdini managed deflection without spending a cent. Perhaps Trump should read a book of his, but I understand reading is not his forte.

There isnt any proof that itsnt.

The US attack seems to suport this ambiguity. They just wanna war with whoever, even Russia at this point. I know I am not going out killing anyone, I won't be part of this bloodbath.
