    The Drums of war: US attacks Syria

    While the US may be trying to down play what happened recently, it could easily turn out to be the start of something much bigger....


    Putin tells the world - 'Attacking Syria again? You'll need to get through me': Russian battleship is positioned between US warships and runway hit by Trump's air strike as Vladimir makes his move

    -The US military fired more than 50 tomahawk missiles at al-Shayrat military airfield at 8.45pm EDT Thursday
    -Moves comes just hours after Trump said 'something should happen' following Tuesday's gas-attack atrocity
    -Trump took action after more than 80 were killed and many more were injured in the Sarin poison gas attack
    -'Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack,' he said after launching the strike
    -Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a furious response calling airstrike an 'illegal act of aggression'
    -US called 'a partner of ISIS' by al-Assad's spokesman who said missile strikes are 'reckless and irresponsible'
    -Trump says airfield used to store toxic weapons and was the base for the aircraft involved in the Sarin attack
    -Claims that nine were killed, and more were injured, in the strike which has severely damaged the airbase
    -US told Moscow it was launching an airstrike about 30 minutes in advance - but did not ask for permission



    Russian warship steams toward US destroyers that launched Syria strikes


    US air strikes in Syria: Russia suspends agreement preventing direct conflict with American forces

    I don't know if this is posturing to save face, or the start of something terrible...

    I'll be keeping my eye on this for sure.

    It's estimated that the 59 missiles fired cost upwards of 94 million dollars...

    Seems like that money could have been used elsewhere, anywhere really.

    The morning I woke up, and unexpectedly saw Trump's face as the winner, I smiled. When watching him view the West Point cadets marching past on inauguration evening, I saw something I hadn't seen in him before, and I thought "uh oh..." Hard to put my finger on it exactly, but he looked mesmerized by the military. It was like looking at a different Donald Trump, and that's when I started to see something was very, very very wrong here.

    Anyway, it's nothing short of astounding how simple it was to sucker this supposedly brilliant and savvy businessman into an ill conceived act of war. Like taking candy from a baby. If it can be done once it can be done again, how simple might it be to smoke a Gulf of Tonkin fastball (for instance) past this guy off the coast of North Korea now? IMO we are looking at someone on the ultimate power trip, and he's just looking for another reason. Why wouldn't he jump at the next "reason" presented?

    There's been some ideas floated (and I hope they are true) that this might be a move against the intelligence agencies (act off bad intel knowing it's bad so you can turn on them later).

    But I'm not so sure, I certainly would like to think that's the case.

    Hillary's plan was to cause an armed and preferably nuclear conflict with Russia over Iran. But I guess now that Trump is in the White House instead of Hillary, Syria will probably do just as fine.

    Let's add a new definition to the political dictionary...


    President of the United States of America (title)

    Someone who manages to kill thousands of innocent people with taxpayer money in a time span of 4 to 8 years.


    Congratulations, Donald. You've just made it to the elite club of warmongers and mass murderers.

    She has very good points, it certainly seems that trump has succumbed to the deep state; and I'm glad to hear more details about that Syrian base come out also (pretty much makes it clear this was an isis assist, again).

    I like this YouTuber. He is a fan of the late Lindsey Williams who was an agenda whistleblower. Americans are being played like fiddles.

    I remember Lindsey Williams well from Alex Jones’ interviews of him. I did not know that he had died. In fact, I don’t see anything about that on Infowars or on this YouTuber's channel..

    Can you post a link?

    Oops! Apologize!

    Not dead. My mistake (misinterpretation). The only thing I know of him is through jsnip4. Think I will check him out.

    I'm secretly thinking this is exactly the case.


    Say what you will about trump, he's one smart MOFO... the stuff he did on his campaign trail proved that (and there's so much there!) so I'm hoping this is the case... the follow on actions will be telling. (though to be honest, I've had this same feeling before... fool me once?)
