President Bashar al-Assad has approved a gas attack in the Idlib province, which is the country’s last rebel stronghold, a report on Sunday said. Reports of Assad’s approval comes about a week after President Trump warned the strongman and his allies not to “recklessly attack” the province. Trump called any gas attack a potential “grave humanitarian mistake.” The Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. officials, was first to report on Assad. U.N. officials believe an offensive on Idlib would trigger a wave of displacement that could uproot an estimated 800,000 people and discourage refugees from returning home. The U.S. and France have warned an Idlib offensive would trigger a humanitarian crisis and warned that a chemical attack in Idlib would prompt a western retaliation. READ MORE
Syria’s Assad approves gas attack in Idlib despite warning
Sure he has. Just like Iraq had WMD. Stop being so gullible people. I’m not arguing Assad isn’t a bad man, because he clearly is. Im saying don’t believe everything you read. Particularly the horse manure the White House is shoveling these days. We cannot afford to risk war with Russia over this. Our military is stretched too thin. A large number of senior officers and NCO’s have left the military in recent years over the lies and alibis. SOCOM has been particularly affected by this trend. We need to step back, rebuild, and regroup. Let’s shore up our borders first. Let’s stop supporting terrorist regimes like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Let’s support our strongest ally in the Middle East…..Israel. Let’s stop crowning psychopathic despots that ultimately wind up biting the hand that fed them. We made ISIS, and strengthened Boko Haram and the Taliban with our ridiculous foreign policies. And who has paid the price…our soldiers and countless civilians in countries too numerous to mention. Wake up America.
