Douma, Syria: The Image


From The Last English Prince:
The image was pulled from a Twitter feed. 
The Last English Prince cannot verify the location nor the situation in play. But the picture was posted with a plea to Mr. President Trump. 
What if this were his son? That was the supplication offered. 
The world waits. And the world follows the lead of the United States of America. 
If we do not lead, then how can others follow? If there was a chlorine gas attack in Douma, Syria; if this child has suffered the effects of a chemical attack, America must determine both what to say, and also what is our part, if even a small role, in this tragedy.

False Flag or not ..... and I think it was btw ..... we are about to get Assad's, Russia's, Iran's, North Korea's, and China's attention in the next 24 to 48 hours.

With Bolton whispering in his ear ..... the fighting capacity of the Syrian military is going to be drastically reduced. Russia is going to be humiliated. The message to our enemies will be clear, and Trump and Kim will have something to talk about afterwards.

I feel something big coming.

Last night Trump hosted a dinner with "his Generals". I assume the media meant to say the Joint Chief of Staff.

Not sure it is false flag. Chlorine (like mustard gas) is old school.

Daddy Assad killed about forty thousand by surrounding a town with tanks and unleashing hell on the citizens. Originally, the Assad family name meant "butcher" but they changed it. Certainly hasn't changed the family propensity for brutality.

For someone who doesn't want to broadcast our moves ......... The Syrians are sending all their aircraft to the Russian Base, and putting all there air defenses around the Presidential Palace.

Why in the hell is this ANY of our business? More people get killed in once place every day in various places around the world and we don't bat an eye. Leave Assad alone. Syria was one of the most religiously pluralistic countries in the M.E. Who are we supporting to punish Assad. Much worse people, I guarantee you

Well, I dont really disagree with you, but mainly because I dont have any problem with Muslims gassing Muslims. Those images didn't upset me at all.

But ... an Assad victory here is an Iranian victory. A Sunni win blocks Iran.

To me this is not about who wins or loses the Syrian Civil War, its about sending a Message to those other foreign players in Syria. (Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah). Hezbollah has never seen the bottom of a B52 when the bombay doors open. That's something I really want them to experience first hand.

Russia thinks their presence on Syrian soil is enough to deter us. They need to realize that only worked in Georgia and The Crimea because of their strategy advantages there. Otherwise they will think a Russian Base anywhere is like kryptonite to the US military. Tell them to stay on their 2 bases and they wont get hurt. If they send up aircraft to engage ours, or target our Naval assets in the Med ....... like they just said they would ...... well ........ I guess its time to see who really has the biggest balls of them all.

As Sting would say ..... I hope the Russians love their children too.

You know we've started pinging the shit out of the Eastern Med looking for any Subs in the Area before the Fleet arrives there.

We've apparently found some based on the P8s erratic flight paths.

Those could be Syrian Subs, or they could be Russian or Israeli, or maybe even Iranian.

What to you do about them?

Take them out without knowing for sure who's they are?

When I look at Assad .... I dont see a cold blooded killer like his Dad was ...... I see a Dentist with a Trophy wife.

He didn't exactly rally his troops when the Sunni's started their uprising, and was in fact getting his ass kicked until his Iranian, Hezbollah, and Russian Bosses did his thinking and killing for him. Getting rid of Assad is pointless militarily. I dont know if Trump realizes this, but I bet Bolton does.

Its not about Assad, its about his patrons and their motivations for being in Syria. Its their interests in the region that would be harmed the most if the Sunni majority had control of the levers of state.

And I certainly dont get the feeling that Trump looks at this like his MSM conditioned predecessors would, in that if this leads to regime change we'd have to stay and nurse it into a western style democracy. This looks purely punitive in nature ..... the way it should have always been.

Well put, RT.
