Publius Tacitus — Trump's Big Flop In Syria
Not about Trump but rather the US military. Eye opening insider talk. Russia not bluffing.
It's disingenuous to blame Trump for the failure half-a-century or more of neocon control.
The poor bastard has folded to their every demand and is hanging on by the skin of his teeth. Although some here would have us believe that this is somehow masterful planning on his part (4D chess).
Maybe if you are planning a safe withdrawal of your 2,000 troops and see the enemy using poison gas you would think perhaps such WMD would be used on your forces during a withdrawal...
So you would naturally send a message that any further use of the WMD would come with a high strategic price...
If they gas our troops in withdrawal we probably have to use tactical nukes on Damascus.... ie respond in kind with WMD...
No, they won't be used on American forced during withdrawal because the US backed head-chopping terrorists wouldn't bomb the people who support them even if the they hate the liberals and the Christian Westerners.

That's true but he ran on not caving to it. And he did anyway, for whatever reasons.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they blackmailed him.
DeleteRT said the US hit the targets in Syria to destroy the evidence that the chemical attack was a false flag.
