    Trump's far from an idiot, not an experienced president but far from an idiot. I don't think you understand that there's other motives (like money), and not just Trump being a moron who does stupid s---.

    God you are so naive, what are they doing to people in California jfc

    1. He's old as f--- and on his way out anyway, why would he care about global warming

    2. He's a businessman, in bed with corporations, what do you expect him to say, "save the whales?"

    Not everyone on Earth is in the position you and me are, there's people with so much money that none of this s--- matters to them, it's not about intelligence. Maybe you should get an IQ check if you still can't understand why Trump does what he does.

    Maybe he cares about his children & grandchildren? :s just because he’s on his way out doesn’t mean it’s not affecting him at all.

    No but just because you’re a business man doesn’t mean you’re obligated to disregard a scientific fact. There are PLENTIFUL business men & women that acknowledge the threat of climate change. Trump is just an impressionable idiot. He literally gets policy ideas from Fox News. You’re talking about the guy who still thinks millions of illegals voted & that’s why he lost the popular vote. He is dumb.

    He's a s--- talker and says things that he knows will benefit him. Leave the bay and learn about the real world and maybe you'll understand.

    "Naive" is a gentle euphemism when you're dealing with someone who absorbs every CNN headline he reads. This guy literally tried to argue that Trump tweeting a video of him wrestling CNN was an incitement to violence.

    Bruh... i’ve traveled the world lol. Most of the world thinks he buffoon too:

    EF7F95E1-7AFE-4A47-9ACB-F8FC9CC39E41.png

    That’s some real mental gymnastics there writing off his *obviously* false statements as “s--- talking.” I know trump is a s--- talker but that doesn’t disregard the fact that a lot of what he says is bs & not rooted in reality. Remember when he claimed Ted Cruz’s father had something to do with JFK’s assasination? :'(You expect me to think that guy is smart?

    Do the right thing regarding world affairs =/= being a buffoon, I don't think republicans do good things for the country, doesn't mean they're buffoons, they're rooted in greed, not being dumb.

    He loses nothing from talking s--- about Ted Cruz, he's a s--- talker, don't see what that has to do with being smart. Obviously he doesn't think Ted Cruz's dad actually had something to do with JFK. But alright tell yourself whatever you want, there's obviously one person here who isn't the brightest and doesn't understand capitalism and politics.

    Traveled all across the US, not the world, and I do know what the rest of the world thinks of Trump. But also a lot of the world doesn't understand how American politics work because it's a very unique and broken system. The Bay doesn't understand American politics because they go with what everyone else is saying, California is really a cancerous and artificial place that's based on social status and agreeing with everyone around you.

    If Trump is as dumb as you say, you shouldn't have to bring up campaign mudslinging and old tweets about global warming to make your point. Weak.

    Do you honestly believe a person with a low IQ could become president of the United States? I get that you hate the guy, but this is a losing argument. Stupid people don't build multi billion dollar business empires and skyscrapers in a couple dozen nations and attain the highest office in the land, sorry. They don't generally have master's degrees either.

    But.... how do you know this? This is purely speculative. Trump has a long history of pushing wild conspiracy theories even before he decided to run for president. It’s not like this is something that he just started to do once he ran for office. Like, you do realize the argument you’re giving me right now is basically, “yeah, he says stupid stuff but he doesn’t actually mean it.” Like wtf lol.

    “The world doesn’t understand American politics.”

    “The Bay Area doesn’t understand American politics.”

    How am I the one living in a bubble when you’re making these statements? Lol. Y’all never fail to astonish me. Also lmao @ you telling me to learn about the “real world” & you’ve ever even traveled outside the country. Are you trolling or something?

    ^ Thinks the simpler idea that the DNC got its emails leaked by a disgruntled employee as opposed to getting hacked by the Russian government is a wild conspiracy theory.

    well just to add to this topic, in an urban guerrilla warfare collateral damage is pretty much unavoidable. All sides cause collateral damage whether it's the U.S E.U Russia or Syria. Collateral damage isn't an accident though. It's just accepted casualties. U.S and E.U bombings aren't specifically targeting civilians but neither are Russian and Syrian bombings. At most you could argue one side is more indiscriminate than the other

    Interesting take:

    US-led coalition ‘manufactured consent’ with ‘fabricated’ gas attack - George Galloway on Syria

    "George Galloway says that both the alleged gas attack in Syria and subsequent US-led missile strikes this week were a “deliberate fabrication” meant to distract from a number of domestic scandals in the coalition member-states."
    [...]
    “I believe that the entire Douma chemical weapons attack story is a deliberate fabrication… if Britain was involved in that fabrication I would be shocked but not surprised,” Galloway said. “It stands to reason that you can’t risk, even if the risk is small, the OPCW behaving with professional integrity and saying that there is no evidence of such a chemical weapons attack and certainly not one by the Syrian regime.”

    “You can’t risk that so you have to, in Noam Chomsky’s words, ‘manufacture consent,’ for an attack and then launch the attack before that manufactured consent begins to dwindle away.”

    Galloway also maintains that, in launching missile strikes against the Syrian government without sufficient international backing, let alone UN Security Council (UNSC) approval, President Donald Trump emulated the former US Commander-in-Chief Bill Clinton by using military action abroad to distract attention away from an embarrassing and widely publicized sex scandal at home.

    “I believe that Trump did it, just like Bill Clinton... Clinton launched cruise missiles against Sudan and Iraq... In Clinton’s case it was Monica Lewinsky, in Trump’s case it’s... Stormy Daniels. And, of course, many other problems also beset Trump so he tried to bounce free from those travails in the time-honored way of killing foreigners and destroying their country.”

    Trump, however, was not alone in taking unilateral action in Syria without the support of his government or his people; Theresa May and Emmanuel Macron both eagerly followed suit.

    In May’s case, Galloway maintains she took the decision “because she was afraid that she would lose in the parliament.”

    I don't think a handful of civilians dying from chemical weapons can be equated to the mass amounts of warcrimes the US has committed in the middle east for the past 100 years.
    I don't think a handful dying from gas attacks is comparable to Obomba's 300 airstrikes per day either.

    you are literally "la la la america is great but our pres is bad, la la la la *deny warcrimes*"

    (The facts behind the) ‘staged’ video of kids’ chemical weapons drill in Syria





    The original copy of the video was uploaded to YouTube on September 19, 2013. The Nesma Organization advertised the play on its Facebook account on September 18 and 19, 2013 – the exact timeframe the original video was uploaded to the YouTube channel whose name roughly translates into English as Rural Damascus Media.

    Other videos from the Rural Damascus Media have also been shared by the Nesma Organisation’sFacebook page.

    Rural Damascus Media’s description of the video reads: “The aim of the play was to teach children the horrors of being under attack by chemical weapons and to show the world its neglect and failure to take action on a man who would use such weapons against his own citizens.”

    Rural Damascus Media’s YouTube channel also contains videos of rallies where FSA (Free Syrian Army) andAl-Qaeda flags were waved.

    The Nesma Organisation also has aFacebook history of sharing content from the Syrian Revolution Coordinators Union. The Nesma Organisation is the Arabic translation, but the group also calls itself Aura Volunteers.

    https://www.rt.com/news/423927-syria-staged-chemical-attack-drill/


    They give this interpretation that it was only meant to teach children the harm but honestly i don't think children need to go through this training to understand that pain and weapons are bad, very cringe rehearsal if you ask me. Not to mention the terrorist FSA & Al-Nusra Front flags being hung up IN school. Vehement anti-Assad jihadist forces (Western backed btw).

    What? Lol where did I ever claim the U.S. never commits war crimes? I simply said there’s a distinction between using chemical weapons to attack your own people & uninteded civilian casualties. That’s common sense, no?

    There's many more of these kinda videos circulating the internet, if you're really willing to research

    Some of them are actual final rehearsals with blood make up and dusty outdoor/indoor environments fully made to look like they were attacked mid-day.
