    There are tons of explanations including the one he wanted to test Trump's administration to see how far he can go without getting any international condemnation

    Besides, what's weird about killing civilians during the civilian war? lol

    People like this are so r-----ed. Of course Isis is gonna try seize opportunities like this. Isis, the U.S, Russia and Syria all have common enemies it's a shitstorm

    HUURRR Trump supports isis DUURRPH


    As for that chemical attack it's quite strange Assad would order that. Literally no logic behind it. Has it even been confirmed the chemical bombs were launched from al-Shayrat airfield? All sources say that's where the attack is "believed" to have originated from.

    Is it possible Syria only used conventional missiles but they struck a rebel held chemical weapons wearhouse?

    That all sounds pretty far fetched if not r-----ed to me. I'm not saying Assad didn't order the chemical attacks but if he did it wouldn't be to demoralise and play bravado with citizens from rebel held areas at the expense of losing the d--- war

    I also wonder how organised or disorganised the Syrian military and government actually is. Assad was never some supreme feared/respected dictator like Hitler, the Kims or even Sadam. The Syrian government and millitary have been rampant with defections and betrayals and plain old disorganisation and incompetence. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that Assad's words aren't heeded by everyone or that not everyone seek's Assad's approval for everything.

    I don't think Assad is incapable of committing such crimes. He kills plenty civilians with regular old bombs anyway. I just fail to see a reason why he'd switch bomb types at the risk of war with the U.S and what benefits would outweigh this.

    Logically speaking if paulye agree with me that means I'm wrong

    I guess Assad did use chemical weapons to scare his people then

    Nah, it's just like you said. Assad has no motive to do this. He didn't do it. It was the rebels or ISIS. False flag operation. And how come there were all those cameras there? This was a scheme constructed by neo-cons and neo-libs.

    I mean we bombed Assad's air force. Now what? ISIS and the rebels are prolly celebrating. Do we have to take care of them too? Do we have to send ground troops? Or do we just use the inaccurate drones used by Obama? It's a mess.

    What is ironic that Soros himself is a Nazi. There's been suspicion that he colluded with the Nazis in the 40s, and also the fact that he hates Jews, I mean that alone makes him a Nazi.

    Trump's approval? I think that's cos of the Susan Rice wiretap thing and also Trump meeting with Egypt and Jordan's leaders. I have no idea what happens after this aggression on Syria. I'd guess tho that it stays the same or rises a little bit. I've seen some libs think the aggression is a good thing, but I've seen some Trump supporters being disappointed. Crazy times.

    We will being going to war very soon in the middle east and in The South China sea along with North Korea. The writing is on the wall. It just depends on who pops it off first. Times are getting dark for the world, and that's why I want to move into the mountains and live a simple life away from all the bs.

    Yeah. I'm thinking that South America or like Far-East Asia or Australia are the only relatively safe continents rn

    :jordanlaf:

    Edit: Actually North Korea is close to Far-East Asia, so scratch that
