That's the name of it, hmm never heard of it.

You won't name it because your country is most likely just as bad.

Trump might be the president, there is a whole government which decide the direction.
The more interesting question after all this is, how Russia will respond.
So far, the response seems to have been a request for an emergency UN meeting and a warship sent to the area which will of course do nothing, and a barking Medvedev.

3 possibilities.

1, This is an agreement to distract
2, Russia is a toothless tiger
3, Russia will act in silence in order to prevent another surprise attack and will most likely answer with return fire.

1, both sides could use it, Putin and Medvedev have been under fire due to corruption, after some failures in his first 100 days Trump could use some positive feedback which he has gotten after giving the order to retaliate.



The base is operational despite 59 tomahawk missiles, so the damage is quite limited and Russia/Syria were informed on time.

2, this retaliation and the Russian response to it shows that Russia has no answer to the US military machine.
In the case of a full blown war with nukes, 300 biggest cities attacked in Russia mean that 2/3 of the Russian population is affected whereas in the case of the US it is only about a fifth of the population.
However, the US is also the leader of the NATO, so the odds of a Russian victory is quite thin.

3, Chess level 10.
Russia silently prepares with Iran and other allies to confront the US and NATO should there be another retaliation, this of course means a full blown war.

Since the Arab spring, i'm of the opinion that this all has been inflamed and started in order to gain influence and power over the region.
The fatwas from the saudi islamic cleric towards Ghaddafi and Assad strengthen this view.
The toppling of Hosni Mubarack and the rise to power of the muslim brotherhood supports this.
The war in Jemen against Shiites, both Assad and Ghaddafi were Shiite regimens.
Iran should not consider itself safe, considering the close US ties to Saudi Arabia and the republicans in power.

Oh man... I wish TRUTH was of any consequence, then we would, for once, hear it. But deception and lies is the path of the wicked, and we are all upon this path because we allow this falsehood to flourish all around us! Its almost as if we, as a whole, enjoy the deciet more than everything else. We will all have to pay for allowing this evil false narrative to exist to the point of murdering innocents...especially for the murder of children. To sit back idly and allow these evil creatures to maintain control and even beyond that, to the point of willfully electing these evil anti humans into power, is the source of all woes. So many jumping ship now. The king of LIES rules this world...it is apparent throughout every aspect of existence. The world must be cleansed; futura is here.

Fractals...

Soon this pattern will be broken.

It's no new twist, it is the same old #, different day. Same old deception and manipulation effort. The most mendacious government in the world is now going to "conduct an investigation" and keep it all secret.

This is standard behavior for Washington--outlandish stories with not a shred of proof or evidence.

"what, is this us the world's policemen?"

Yes, in some instances. because we live IN this world, and nobody else ever steps up to the #ing plate on real threats. THATS why

That sounds sort of globalist.

Any one heard anything about russia shooting down 36 of the 59 missiels?

Only 23 reached their target. The US have about a 95 % hit rate.

a reply to: Phage

if somebody doesnt do something about horrors happening, and every time a threat happens, and nothing is done, what does that make us? I am FAR FROM a globalist! NO NO NO NO never happening. But something NEEDS to be done before something terrible happens O.O I'm serious

a reply to: VengefulSage
Yes. Terrible things are terrible.

What exactly did Trump accomplish in regard to stopping terrible things from happening?
