Russians have over 2000 hydrogen bombs.

Only 30-40 ...tops....would be needed to vaporize 80% of the US.

They can deliver this annilination by air, sea or land.
Subs can get within 40-60 miles of our shores .

So let's stop with the 'mediocre ' Russian hardware/ military capability silliness .

---

Please cite one post where I said anything about their nukes or hydrogen bombs?

You won't be able to because I never did.


Having a lot of nukes or even one doesn't automatically make the rest of the military highly capable.

Your consistent tone has been how our military could handle Russia rather easily .

Simply isn't even close to correct .

Like them or not....we have to co-exist.

Or not exist at all.

So now it is tone......


make up your mind.

Pick a claim and stick to your guns. (no pun intended)

We attacked Syria over a chemical weapons attack.

Any evidence yet that a chemical attack took place?

Even the Syrians acknowledge that it happened, they just dispute that it was carried out by them. Just to sort of illustrate the game being played here, Russians were telegraphing the attack a full month before it happened. A lot of Assad's most brutal and cruel actions are premeditated, designed to sow fear, panic, and confusion among "his" people and outside observers.

Check the date on this article, where a Russian general laid out what he knew was going to happen with the Russian spin of it being a "false flag" pretext.

That's not really proof of a chemical attack.

A doctor in Douma who treated victims said they died in underground shelters of suffocation. Conventional bomb attack.

CNN had a reporter interviewing victims who had been evacuated before the attack.

British journalist, early on the scene, found no evidence of a chemical attack.

I don't dount at all that a chem attack happened, Assad uses chlorine without reprisal pretty routinely as a weapon of intimidation, and he usually does it right when an area is about to fall to his forces just like what happened in Ghouta. The only thing up in the air really at this point is whether VX was used.

No offense but I've never heard of mint press news, and right at the top of the page they have a ZeroHedge ad, which is a glaring red flag for me.

M.O.A.B. destroys underground surface to surface missile factory:

Yeah let's send a 3rd missle strike against Syria.

What could go wrong ?

So...we apparently are about to royally **** the Kurds again. Announced the same day we announced a deal with Turkey for more Patriot missiles too.

We have been supplying the Kurds in Iraq (and likely in turkey) for the past 2 years.

They will do fine.

US troop presence in NE Syria has been just about the only thing keeping Turkey from invading the area to settle old scores against Kurdish militant groups. That won't be fine if it comes to pass.

Mission accomplished. Well done.

Come on home .

We have 2,000 troops there. I doubt that small number is why Turkey has not invaded before....

It's not because it was an intimidating force the Turks couldn't beat, it was the presence of a treaty ally they wouldn't go against. Us leaving is akin to clearing the space and giving assent.

Lol. ok.

So in other words you have no proof to this claim but decided it was a great chance to attack Trump for something.

He is sending our troops to fight!!! Evil!!!

He is bringing our troops home... how evil!!!

My take as well.

Let's play Spot The Contradiction!

"We have defeated ISIS..."

Vs.

"Now they will have to fight ISIS..."

Where is the contradiction?

He says we have defeated ISIS in Syria. Which we did.

He never said we have wiped out ISIS and they will never be back.

We have been in that historical morass long enough.

Get our boys home and let the Afghan tribes resume fighting each other .

Good. Bring them home. Long overdue.

The Deep State and the RINOs and the Military-Industrial-Media complex and the NeoCons and the NeoLibs and all the lefties will hate this.

Hard not to think this isn't related to Individual-1's abrupt Syria decision.

I sure hope Nikki Haley has Mattis on speed dial.
