Trump Thread

[Greyblades]

That's the point - America's promise was they were not going to get involved in the Middle East. There was no threat, just action without warning. And now, no follow up or strategy. Amateur hour.

That promise is likely why there is no follow up. As to strategy it looks to me like trump's going back to business as usual bombing isis. Which is good.

If the rebels are almost as bad as Assad then what is the point? Unless this is purely about the methodology of the killing. Nonsensical to me.

The point is that america made a promise to retaliate against syria if they use chemicals and trump unlike obama isnt too timid to fulfill it.

I am sure Russia can manage to protect bases if they want them. Rather like the Israelis have managed to keep the Golan Heights, Russia in Crimea and so on. Give some weapons to the nearby warlords to kill their enemies usually works.

Manage to, yes, want to, no.

It's cheaper to have a buffer that is allready friendly to you than hope the nearby warlords who replaces him isnt a raving islamic lunatic who cant be bought.

Russia will back whichever puppet looks like winning in the areas of the country they wish to control, as will Iran. I doubt Russia has any loyalty more than a chess grandmaster does.

No, russia will back whichever puppet will play ball with them, which right now is only Assad.

Sean Spicer says stupid things all the time and this wasn't even an exception since the point he did want to make was just as idiotic as any possible misinterpretation.

A boring response by all metrics, and one that ignores the point, he screwed up repeatedly but the anti trump brigade comes along and piles on crap, turning "Assad is worse than hitler" into "hitler did nothing wrong!!"
