I felt the need to further comment on the rapidly changing events involving chemical weapons, Syria, the United States – and Russia. There is a lot of information being put out there and much of it is not based in fact. Assumptions are being made, news stories from years ago mentioned as if they happened yesterday – and conspiracy theories promoted as fact.
I’m not going to pass on a bullet point list of “facts”. Everyone should perform their own research and develop and educated opinion rather than one built on something read on Facebook.
Here’s my opinion(like everything else on this website):
The evidence is overwhelming that Assad attacked his own people using chemical weapons…..again. I do not believe that President Trump – who was not one to promote military engagement overseas – would send 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles into Syria without solid proof that Assad was involved. If someone does not believe that – well, there is not much I can say on that. I’m just passing on what I believe.
I’ve gone online and watched the horrendous footage of men, women, and children suffering from the most recent chemical attack earlier this week. Piles of bodies being stacked while relatives look for family members. Witnesses reporting on the attack itself seeing the bombs falling from the sky. What a nightmare.
The responsibility of what is happening right now falls squarely on the hands of the previous administration. Obama drew his “red line in the sand” and Assad crossed it without severe repercussions. Assad crossed the line once again this week and Trump made a statement. That statement was made not just to Syria but to North Korea, China, Russia, and the rest of the world.
Are we going to end up in a conflict with Russia? Over an assclown like Assad? I don’t think so.
The facts are out there. Research for yourself and use multiple sources – domestic and overseas. In the end, cover your own arse and prepare as you know you should.
Have a good weekend.

There is also credible evidence out there that this is a false flag chemical attack on civilians manufactured by ISIS with the help of CNN and others to make us do their dirty work, much like what happened in Libya. (They have been caught at this in the past.) This could blow up in our faces in so many ways, if this is so,
I don’t buy the story line that the “news” media is selling. This is an especially dangerous time to have the MSM pumping out BS for “news”.
Anything that comes across MSM with the commentators smiling should be considered pure BS. This morning I watched the various “news” outlets just for the heck of it. After all, it was Friday morning and the Saturday cartoons weren’t on. Every station seemed to have gone thru a rebirth and they were all salivating. I’ll wait and see what develops.
It is what it is, nothing I say or do will change what happened or happens. Guess this might be the nudge to get me out of my funk and back to my survivalist ways/thinking…
Seems like Russia is not going to do anything about it. Sends a message to Iran, North Korea, and the rest of the world. Maybe they think Trump is crazy. Usually people don’t mess with crazy people. I know this for a fact. Ooooo…Raahhh…! Semper Fi…!
Concerns, yes. Worried, no. Funny how American’s are rightfully concerned, but the liberals are trying to make mass hysteria out of Trump. And the liberal soros backed evil elites don’t want you to know the world are applauding what Trump did. However so, this country’s self worth does not require their approval to be strong. That’s the whole point.
Trump is changing the stage. We are no longer the hookers for the highest bidder and unlike bummer’s clear red line. We/America…mean what we say.
How about this? ISIS chemical weapons manufacturing found by Iraqi military!!! It’s just not Syria!!! While bombs fell from the sky, we haven’t been able to examine the casings to date. So, how do we confirm the bombs were the source and not a near by rebel stockpile from Mosul. Do the rebels possess chemical weapons? Yep, pretty sure of that based on what was found in Mosul.

OH, one more thing. Everyone over there is a Sh!tbag and a threat to the U.S. and Christians in my book!!!!
Reports that I’ve read are stating that tests on the ground indicate the chemical weapons were of Syrian origin. I’ve read several articles where ex-US military experts were interviewed and they stated it was impossible for ISIS to pull this off – or for it to be ISIS chemical weapons dispersed by an Assad bomb. Fairly detailed and complex procedure to “arm” the chemical weapon and hit the components with a bomb would not create what occurred. These experts basically stated that those on TV/Internet spouting on about the possibility of a Black Flag have no idea what they are talking about./ I’ll see if I can find a link.
Not sure who the so called military experts are, but the technology for deploying Sarin or Mustard gas is WW1 level. Didn’t some Japanese cult release Sarin gas in a Tokyo subway 22 years ago? Can’t be that hi-tech!!! I would liked to have seen someone on the ground collecting samples and looking at the bomb casings first!!!! I’m not an expert myself in poison gas, but have been in LE long enough to know, that you always go to the crime scene. I would also go an say these so called experts haven’t been on the ground to examine the crime scene and don’t know what their talking about either!!!
You can research it yourself. The evidence is overwhelming. We can each believe what we want.
I think your “.” and “!” Keys got switched. 😉
I’m not saying it didn’t happen, just want to see the evidence. There is none to date that supports the sarin came from a bomb dropped. That’s my point. I want to see the evidence from the crime scene, not just video. Why do you think we zone out Hazmat incidents in the U.S. A train car derailment or a tractor-trailer accident can release deadly chemicals over a wide area, depending on weather conditions. I challenge you to put up the evidence since you posted the article. All I’ve seen so far is opinions, not evidence.
It should as be noted that we intentional avoided striking the Chemical Weapons stockpile at the airfield. Why?, because they were concerned the Tomahawks would cause an unintentional release of the agents. So, even the “U.S. experts” were concerned about the very thing happening that you stated could not. So, do your research, it can happen from a bomb strike.
I’ve stated my opinion and you’ve stated yours. Let’s move on.
Trump is the breath of fresh air that is letting the world know we mean business.
Saren( sp?) gas was outlawed after WW 1 I believe. Where is the UN now?
I wish that Trump will destroy every plane and military targets of Syria now because as soon as Iran or N Korea can -they WILL destroy us most probably by
an EMP .and direct bombs. Appreciate every moment of your blessings every day.

Thanks, Lightning. North Korea is extremely limited in ways to effect us. I am more concerned about EMP via a freighter off the coast of California with their involvement. There are numerous UN Resolutions against Syria and they have been in place for years. Much like those against Iraq prior to the US taking action(1st Gulf War) – the UN Resolutions are not doing much.
Agreed Lightning. Thank you for that last sentence. You are truly correct, I keep taking for granted tomorrow is not promised to anyone.
