HOORAY! WE'RE GOING TO WAR AGAINST SYRIA!
TRUMP GETS TO HAVE HIS TANTRUM! AND MAYBE POSTPONE THE ABRUPT END OF HIS HORRID PRESIDENCY!
And why is Green Eagle saying hooray about all of this? Because this means that he won't be going to war this month against North Korea, which is prepared to respond by killing several hundred thousand people who are not even white people, so who would care in the end, anyway?
So, of course, attacking Assad means risking going to war against Russia, but on the other hand attacking North Korea risks going to war against China! The two other most powerful military powers on Earth! So why not just flip a coin, right? Go for the gasser or for the fat boy. What fun.
Even the senile Ronald Reagan had the sense, when the country had turned against him, to go to war against Grenada, which he could have wiped off the face of the earth without anyone important giving a damn; but no, Trump has to pick a fight that could cause a nuclear war. What a leader!

Trump somehow makes Rufus J. Firefly look presidential and competent.
Trump is well on his well to being the second most incompetent figure in America.
*From just one week ago:
"The United States' diplomatic policy on Syria for now is no longer focused on making the war-torn country's president, Bashar al-Assad, leave power. . . .This is what treason in the White House looks like." - Green Eagle.
*From today: "So, of course, attacking Assad means risking going to war against Russia. . . . Trump has to pick a fight that could cause a nuclear war. What a leader!" - Green Eagle
Green Eagle claims that (a) leaving Assad in power proves that Trump is an anti-American traitor who is unfit to be President, and (b) driving Assad out of power proves that Trump is an anti-American traitor who is unfit to be President.
Either way, Green Eagle can accuse Trump of going against American interests. Is there anything a president can do about Syria that Green Eagle will approve of?
Did you see what "most incompetent" linked to?
Obama went to Congress for authorisation and didn't get it.
Trump in 2013 insisted he had to get it but also said America shouldn't get involved at all... those being the incoherent rants of someone who knows nothing but wants to say something.
Obama's pressure on the issue did make Russia say they would co-operate with the removal of stockpiles but maybe they were lying.
And so again I make the point I've made here to commenters here before:
Be a Right-wing idiot if you must but don't be so facile as to think Russia's interests align with those of the US in any discussion about the Middle-east.
And just to clarify... I totally respect the Russian people. God those people have suffered. They have been royally fucked since the end of communism and the rise of a political and business class that is wholly criminal, and we should reflect on what could have been... before unfettered “free-market” economics raped their assets and stole away any hope of a better future.
