Maturin, you need to brush up on the facts surrounding the US instigated, financed and backed coup in Ukraine that ousted the democratically elected pro-Russian President that had rejected the eastward expansion of NATO and replaced by a US-selected administration.

The reality is that, after two decades of eastward Nato expansion, this crisis was triggered by the west's attempt to pull Ukraine decisively into its orbit and defence structure, via an explicitly anti-Moscow EU association agreement. Its rejection led to the Maidan protests and the installation of an anti-Russian administration – rejected by half the country – that went on to sign the EU and International Monetary Fund agreements regardless

Reacting to this western agression, Crimeans voted overwhelmingly to join Russia. A fact ignored by the western media monkeys.

Rivera on FOX is the only commentator I have seen that didn't just buy into the PTB script.
Has Trump been compromised? That is the question to answer. He just went against what he campaigned on.

False Flag Chemical Attack in Syria
https://youtu.be/qr_ByQH2QY0
Published on Apr 4, 2017

Similar to 2013 chemical attack, the Western governments, and corporate mainstream media accusing the Syrian government of using chemical weapons, this time in Khan Shaykhun, in Idleb.
This video discusses the disgusting and criminal usage of chemical weapons in Syria, indicating that it is not the Syrian government but the Islamist\terrorist groups behind the attacks.


Turning a blind eye; invited more of the same.

Those cruise missiles were built back in the 80's, they needed to be used before they got to old, you are using gov inflated figures and todays figures on new ones that don't even look the same. The figures they are throwing out there are for lifting body cruise missiles that have the radar signature of a humming bird!

The Great Syria Lie: Why You're Being Fooled
http://wec.punchingbagnews.com/t/2652345/49050275/744079/2007/

The war drums are beating, growing louder and more synced with each runway departed and missile fired. As if by a switch, our media has become homogenized, with only one bare and concise notion emerging: we MUST go to war. And here we go – again.

While most of our great country ignored the last 8 years of destabilizing policies in the Middle East, the forces desiring war in Syria were hard at work. And, contrary to the opinion of so many partisans, these forces wear neither elephants nor donkeys as lapels. As we quickly enter into our first full day at war, let’s reminisce about the time we were almost tricked into going into Syria to avenge chemical weapon attacks – way back in 2013.

On September 1st, 2013, our Nobel Peace Prize winning president attempted to seek congressional authorization for an attack against Syria in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack. Social and traditional media swelled with reports detailing how the Syrian government used chemical weapons on their own people.

There was one major problem to this story: American backed rebels in Syria were the ones using chemical weapons, not the Assad regime. According to the Washington Times, “Carla del Ponte, a member of the U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria, told Swiss TV there were 'strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof,' that rebels seeking to oust Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad had used the nerve agent.” The articles goes into further detail regarding rebel use of sarin nerve gas.

Appropriately, the US Congress rejected the fake war premise.

As the old phrase goes, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."

Not hard if one figures out who benefits the most. As in Ukraine, shortly after the US instigated coup, VP Biden's son, Hunter (who was kicked out of the Navy for cocaine usw just 2 months earlier) was appointed to the board of directors of Ukraine's largest PRIVATE owned gas company, Burisma. Certainly no conflivt of interest there, huh?

Which brings us to Syria. I find it extremely difficult to believe that Syria, as well as much of the middle east bullshit, isn't about oil and in this case gas. Look who would benefit with Assad gone. Qatar is a Sunni gas-powerhouse and wants to become the main supplier of gas to Europe, and Saudi Arabia is a Sunni oil-powerhouse, which wants to become the major supplier of oil, but Saudi oil and Qatari gas would be pipelined through secular-controlled (Assad's) Syria, and this is why the U.S. and its fundamentalist-Sunni allies, the Saudis, and Qataris, are using Al Qaeda and other jihadists to conquer enough of a strip through Syria so that U.S. companies such as Halliburton will be able safely to place pipelines there, to be marketed in Europe by U.S. firms such as Exxon. Iran also wants to pipeline its gas through Syria, and this is one reason why Iran is defending Syria’s government, against the U.S.-Saudi-Qatari-jihadist invasion, which is trying to overthrow and replace Assad.

Always look for those that would benefit (cui bono) and the truth will be found. It makes absolutely no sense that Assad would use chemical weapons on his own people. It ain't got shit to do with any phony humanitarian lies...er...reasons.

Why has Trump all of a sudden done an about face on Syria (Assad)? Has he been reminded where the real power lies?

S. Maturin

Not my job. Yours seems to be as apologist for Putin and just about any other force/entity contrary to America and American values.

When you see a pink caddy parked in your own back yard, then tell us about it. When you rely on sources to tell you that you have a pink caddy parked in your own back yard...shame on you! So far, you as much as any fake news sources, have not taken the time to look in your own back yard and deal with what YOU know and see, instead of your dependency on fake sources.

Washington Times, New York Times...toilet paper at best. CNN worse.

There is ZERO for Trump to gain, or America to gain by going to war with anyone. Period. Let's try to not drum up some dumb theory that now all of a sudden Trump is doing an Obama move...don't bite into that crap!

"Why has Trump all of a sudden done an about face on Syria (Assad)? Has he been reminded where the real power lies?"

Perhaps you should question what would be the case had Trump done NOTHING? The Media would have a field day...claiming Trump is not up to making military choices.

There is a war ongoing in Syria. What makes you think Assad would not use these sorts of weapons on areas where rebel forces are known to be that would sadly include NON combatants?

Saddam was our ally when he launched attacks against his own people--that's why we didn't object. He also used them against the Iranians and we cheered when he did that! It was only when Saddam threatened our oil supply by invading Kuwait that we began to care. And if you didn't approve of what how Obama responded why did you guy reelect the same congress that rejected his acting in Syria?

S. Maturin

YOU did not object... YOU cheered. Stop projecting.

Iraq’s Saddam Hussein fell out of Washington’s favor, so he had to go and Iraq has yet to recover. Then Egypt's Mubarak Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi lost Washington’s confidence, so he had to go. Today Libya is a failed state. Ukraine’s democratically elected president Viktor Yanukovych fell victim to a coup backed by Washington and local neo-Nazis. Ukraine is in a shambles and less democratic. Now Assad? Can you connect any dots in US foreign policy no matter who is President? Who would benefit from Assad's ouster?

Good comparison! President Trump should receive the ' landscaper' award of the year, also an award for keeping his word. If he keeps it up he will be recognized as a straight shooter ( pardon the pun).
