Breaking: Trump orders Syrian missile strikes

Post by The Annoyed Man »

Developing...... watching a news flash on TV.... but apparently Trump ordered mission strikes against Syria in retaliation for Assad's poison gas attack on civilians a couple of days ago.

Syria's forces are being supported on the ground by Russian forces.

We're watching this now and I wonder what the conversation with Putin was prior to letting them fly?

Assad needs his head on a platter, but I hope Putin is on a leash.

Tump will not let things fly like Obama did. Russia and N Korea just spit out their tea!

My gut says Syria isn't important enough to Putin to start WWIII. That was what held Obama back amongst other shortcomings.

McLame and the War Hawks must be pleased.

So if we miss and kill Russians you think Putin ignores it?

I thought Trump was going to avoid foreign entanglements.

Well...Bannon out...Perry in...war mongers all over...yea, not sure about all this. If Assad did use Sarin on civilian populous, he should pay, but we shouldn't act unilaterally on this.

There was a buried news report of a large convoy of trucks heading to Syria as we entered Iraq. Could those have been Sadam's WMD's? Oh no, the liberal rags told us Bush lied. Yeah, and I've got some ocean front property in Arizona.

Putin/Peskov commended the air strikes, have pulled support for Syria and per Russian news sources are considering strikes of their own. China was informed as well before the strikes and was in support of them. It's the super powers against Assad. Wonder now how nervous N. Korea is??

How sure are we that this wasn't a false flag?

Wrong:
Russia says Syria airstrike an 'aggression' by US

You beat me to it, I was curious to know where that info came from because everything I am reading says the exact opposite.
