Here’s some points
to consider about President Trump’s missile strike against a Syrian air base, The air strikes were
limited to an airfield, yet
the runway was unharmed, meaning the air base is still
operational. Six MiG-23s were destroyed along with a storage depot, a
training building, a canteen and a radar station. Six people were killed and
several others wounded.
·
The
Syrian government called the strike “blatant aggression,” but stopped short of
calling it an act of war.
·
Russia
was warned about the strike
beforehand… and Russian officials likely warned Syria as well.
“Russian forces were notified in advance of the strike using the established
deconfliction line,” said Pentagon spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis. “U.S. military
planners took precautions to minimize risk to Russian or Syrian personnel
located at the airfield.”
·
The
strike was the “most limited” military option presented to Trump.
·
If
this strike didn’t happen, and Trump went to Russia to forge a coalition to
fight ISIS, the neo-cons in Congress and his administration would undermine him
while claiming publicly he’s a “Russian puppet.” But
now, with the strike, he can “deescalate” tensions with Russia into a coalition
to fight ISIS under
the guise of stopping bloodshed in Syria… which is really targeting ISIS, not
Assad.
·
Days
before, Russia actually made the unusual public statement that its support for
Assad was “not unconditional.” Was Russia told about the potential strike days
before?
·
Trump
indicated the strike was meant to send a message… but keep in mind, the runway
is still operational. This was a slap on the wrist as far as harming
Assad’s ability to wage war against ISIS.
·
When
the strikes occurred, he was also hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping, so
“sending a message” isn’t just limited to Syria. Trump likely sees the
North Korea and China situation as a real threat to the US.
·
The
mainstream media can no longer claim Trump is “Putin’s puppet.”
·
Likewise,
leftists are cucked even more because this is more than what Obama ever did,
despite Obama actually wanting a war in Syria complete with “regime change.”
Remember his “red line”.
·
This
doesn’t help ISIS considering six Soviet-era MIG-23s are fairly easily replaced
and, once again, the runway is unharmed.
·
John
McCain and Lindsey Graham are effectively neutered in their attacks against
Trump.
·
Some
of Trump’s statements are worded carefully, such as: “Even beautiful babies were
cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack,” he said. “It was a slow and
brutal death for so many.” As we reported on Wednesday, some of the babies appeared to have
been murdered, but not necessarily from gas. And if weaponized sarin gas
was used by Syria – and not the weaker version homemade by terrorists – you’d
expect affected children to die quicker.
