Syrian Missile Crisis Discussion Thread
24 2017-04-07 by og_cookie_mansta
This is the most scared for global affairs I've been in a while. Maybe a discussion will settle my nerves. What does this mean for America? For Russia? Has Cold War 2.0 just became WW3???

I'm in the same boat as you. This just looks bad from every angle.

I wrote this about a day ago.
I think I am right on the money.
We are two really bad decisions away from WW3. I don't think we'll get there tho.

I agree at this point it all depends on how other countries are going to respond.
n/a feanor-01 2017-04-07
Normally I would agree with this, but; eventually you have to stop pulling back because your already against the wall. There will be a time when Iran, Russia and China will have to say enough is enough. It could quite possibly be that Syria is that line. There is only Iran after this.

Syrian Godzilla had awoken and it had to be put down. /s
This is going to be a doozy

We need to hope no Russian Troops are injured or killed. THAT would be really, really bad. There are conflicting reports about whether they were given prior knowledge or not.

Lol watching RT discuss this right now and some guy just said that almost word for word.
n/a pixelbomb2 2017-04-07
Haha. My boyfriend relayed this information to me right after it happened, he's more knowledgeable about military conflicts, but going through all the scenarios I think he's right. We DON'T want war with Russia.
n/a danjo_kandui 2017-04-07
Just remember you don't want war with anybody. :)
n/a hurtsdonut_ 2017-04-07
It looks like we actually let Russia know that this was about to happen.
n/a pixelbomb2 2017-04-07
Okay just looked into it:

Not proven. How many more wars is it going to take until we stop listening to war mongering liars.
n/a hurtsdonut_ 2017-04-07
I'm not for war. I'm just putting what info I've seen out there. I believe it's always good to look at all available information.
n/a danjo_kandui 2017-04-07
Not if the information is lies. Where were you in 2013 when this same thing happened. Congress shut it down. It was an obvious WMD Iraq situation with no facts, just assumptions. I guess one way around it is not going through congress and saying fuck the constitution and fuck sovereign countries.
n/a hurtsdonut_ 2017-04-07
My quote was just to show that we warned Russia. Not about the Chemical weapons part.
n/a danjo_kandui 2017-04-07
You said "the use of chemical weapons against innocent people will not be tolerated."
Who used chemical weapons?
It's the same as saying Saddam Hussein having WMD is intolerable. Who had WMDs
n/a Twofirstnames21 2017-04-07
Hey dude. It's the damn quote from the pentagon. And just to answer the question, Syria used chemical weapons.
n/a danjo_kandui 2017-04-07
And Saddam had WMD. Yea, I get it.

They tipped off the russians. Not clear if anyone died yet.

Yes, thanks this was confirmed by the white house.

What are the odds that Putin releases the tape of Trump pissing on the hookers at the Moscow hotel in retaliation for Trump steeping on his toes?
n/a pixelbomb2 2017-04-07
Haha.... Hard to laugh right now but thanks
n/a typicalredditor8 2017-04-07
I guarantee you either this will happen or Putin will release Trump's tax returns or proof of collusion during the election.
n/a LightBringerFlex 2017-04-07
Ya, why doesn't Russia blow the whistle on American crooks like john McCain?

Criminals don't snitch on other criminals. He'd just undermine himself.
n/a MaddogOIF 2017-04-07
Do we know Russia's stance on this yet? Syria did break a treaty involving all three parties regarding chemical agents.
n/a typicalredditor8 2017-04-07
Russia hasn't spoken about it yet, but I can't imagine they are happy about it at all.
n/a MaddogOIF 2017-04-07
I hope they have a "you guys fucked up" attitude.
n/a typicalredditor8 2017-04-07
I don't think they are going to respond to us in a way that is unfavorable. They are just going to have to accept that what's done is done. If we invade Syria, I wouldn't be shocked if they fought a war against us by proxy, similar to the way that Iran continues to.
n/a danjo_kandui 2017-04-07
That is not proven and Trump did not have approval. Kerry said in 2013 Syria had depleted their chemical weapons stash. HRC had approved supplying the FSA with chemical weapons. Last Thursday she said we need to bomb the air base that you guessed it, we bombed 2day. Wake up.

Putin basically gave him permission. I think china did too.

The death of the trump is anti establishment meme is official on April 6th 2017.

I got a little freaked out but continued to read into it via many channels. Apparently some of the missiles got shot down by Russia (don't quote me, I got too many tabs open to remember where i saw it). Putin could back down but unlikely, Europeans oil dependency relies on Russia, not sure on the % but this would fuck Russia's economy. Maybe Russia will jump start renewable energy programs like China is doing? Again, unlikely at this time and off present reality.
It's possible this strike was to appease tptb until he consolidates more power and takes real action. He's a businessman, he knows he's not running the show but he's not stupid enough to fight Russia. Honestly, I'm grasping at straws on his motives, there's too much misinformation to find the truth right now.
Obligatory

The obvious explanation is: deep state got to Trump, he was a neo-con all along, etc. It's a plausible explanation.
I have a theory, which obviously I have no evidence for: this could have been a calculated play by Trump, possibly with advance notice to Russia, to shut down the "Russian ties" narrative. Maybe that's not the primary motivation behind the strike, but it's a nice bonus.
n/a ohshitagirl 2017-04-07
Fuck Trump.
n/a SocialJusticeYamcha 2017-04-07
I wonder if some of my alts are going to be unbanned from the_donald, for comments where I said something like this was going to happen.
n/a LightBringerFlex 2017-04-07
This looks like a false flag used as an excuse to bomb Assad who is fighting ISIS which is controlled by Israel.
Russia is Israels biggest enemy. Trump probably launched missles into Assads air base to warn Russia that America is not scared of a big war.
It's time to pull an Iceland in America.
n/a ocherthulu 2017-04-07
Can you explain this?
n/a LightBringerFlex 2017-04-07
For the last 2000 years, Russia has kicked Zions ass off and on to set it straight. Remember, back then, Zion was Khazaria. They evolved into Israel just this past century. There was a few times when Israel hijacked Russia (IE when Russia was communist) but Russia broke the grip with Putin somehow.
Now, Israel wants the whites and arabs to wipe each other out in a multi-decade war but Russia attacked ISIS which pissed Obama off badly. Now we are here today.
The only thing I can't figure out is this:
Is Israel the puppeteer of the UK or is the UK Israels puppeteer. Its hard to tell.
