RUSSIA HAS CALLED OUT ISRAEL FOR STRIKING SYRIA’S T4 AIRBASE

I agree, for a few days Trump agreed, but I think Israel will strenuously object.

 

The dummies in Washington are causing the mayhem and destruction in the Middle East at the orders of their Israeli masters. Sooner or later we will pay a heavy price for our stupidity.

 

Comparatively speaking - yeah.

 

They just tried that with their "mercenaries". Didn't turn out so well for them.

 

The Terrible Cost of Obama’s Failure in Syria.

Four years ago, it almost looked as if chemical attacks on Syrian civilians would stop. “We struck a deal where we got 100 percent of the chemical weapons out,” declared then-Secretary of State John Kerry on Meet the Press in 2014. Kerry was referring to Bashar al-Assad’s declared stockpiles of chemical weapons which, under a 2013 deal struck by the Obama administration following a sarin nerve gas attack that brought the U.S. to the brink of striking Syrian government forces, were dismantled and shipped out of the country.

But there were two important and deadly loopholes. The first was that Assad did not declare everything—a reality that Kerry acknowledged in a farewell memo to staff, in which he wrote that “unfortunately other undeclared chemical weapons continue to be used ruthlessly against the Syrian people.” The second was that chlorine gas, which has legitimate civilian uses, was not part of the deal. The Syrian American Medical Society and the White Helmets civil-defense group have documented 200 chemical attacks in Syria since 2012, many involving chlorine.

Nobody paying attention ever believed that the Obama-Kerry deal “almost looked” as though it had actually disarmed Assad’s chemical arsenal. Assad gave up enough to look like he was complying, and Obama and Kerry got to look like they were doing something.

 

Homs, near Lebanon and an airfield... perhaps a cargo plane full of weapons from Lebanon to Syria?

 

Or what? lol

Russia doesn't care how many Russians get killed. They just send in more and more and claim more ways to secure their role.

 

I get a kick out of idea that tiny Israel pushes Russia around. They nukes the base that had some Russians in it.

 

Israel behind the missile attack in Syria...

All of Trumps enemies want him to go to war. That should give him a clue about what not to do.

 

Or they will be seen as a paper dragon, all roar no action.

What qualifies you to tell me how Russians think? How do you know they don't care about how many of their fellow countrymen are killed? Why should I believe that statement?

 

We an ally of Israel, not a mother hen.

 

Russia also called out Great Britain about Sailsbury...
They could call people out until the cows come home;

 

Yeah sure. Allies attack each others naval vessels all the time. Remember the USS Liberty and the criminal Israelis who attacked it.

 

I don't remember it. Sorry.

 

Most people don't, and there are reasons for that amnesia. For many posting here it happened long before they were born. A certain amnesia is the way they like it.

 

This would be considered a war crime except nobody is going to call Israel out on it. Why do we even need the UN.

 

So your response is an insult. Gotta love the internet.

 

No, it is a simple statement of fact in general terms, not an insult. I do not know your birthday.

 

They have turned Lebanon into a puppet-state, Silly!

Five Catastrophic Decisions


Dumb and Dumber

1) The Obama administration’s invitation to Vladimir Putin to come into Syria ostensibly to stop the use of weapons of mass destruction. The latter did not happen, but after an over 40-year Russian hiatus in the Middle East, Putin has recalibrated the region, and Russia will be far harder to expel than it was to invite in. John Kerry did not get rid of WMD; he ensured that he got more of it.

2) The Ben Rhodes/John Kerry/Barack Obama Iran Deal. It was a disaster precisely because

a) it was unneeded, given the ongoing strangulation of the Iranian economy due to tardy but finally tough sanctions, and b) it was embedded within so many side deals and payoffs, mostly stealthy, that it became a caricature, from nocturnal hostage ransom payments that helped fuel terrorists to whole areas of the Iran nuclear project exempt from spot inspections.
​

3) The FBI and DOJ blanket exemptions given to Clinton skullduggery over the Obama administration. For eight years, one or both of the Clintons cashed in and felt that they could run the family foundation as a rogue entity, play wink and nod quid pro quo with the reset Russians on commercial deals like Uranium One, set up an illegal server, and, when caught, destroy communications and electronic devices, encourage subordinates to mislead investigators, compromise the attorney general, warp the DNC to massage a primary and town-hall debate process, hire opposition researchers to smear a political opponent, drawing on paid-for Russian sources, and collude with obsequious media to direct its furor elsewhere.

4) The panicked appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. There was good evidence in Mueller’s past concerning the Bulger scandal and the anthrax scare that he was mostly incapable of self-reflection and prone to zealotry; and when the Comey gambit paid off and Mueller assembled his “dream team” of partisans, it was clear that mythical “collusion” was merely a useful key to open every imaginable door of inquiry to stymie a president — on the theory that threats of imprisonment and financial ruin are great ways to flip minor subordinates to say something, anything useful, and if one digs deeply enough, every American has something to hide. Mueller reversed his mandate: Assuming first that a citizen was guilty, his mission became finding any sort of crime to prove it.

5) Assassination chic. Once the Resistance encouraged as acceptable all types of pushback to Donald Trump, it became a nonstop race to the bottom to outdo one another in macabre crudity, as everyone from Kathy Griffin, Snoop Dog, and Madonna to a Shakespearean troupe, Johnny Depp, David Crosby, and Kamala Harris has gotten in on finding both overt and “cute” ways to suggest that the president might be decapitated, stabbed, shot, blown up, burned alive, or eliminated in an elevator. Is the new normal that it is okay for celebrities and politicians now to imagine out loud the death of the president, but that it was not acceptable in the past and easily will not be again in the future — and that the omnipresence of such assassination chic will have no effect on normalizing in the mind of a zealot such an actual scenario?
