Now Kerry and Lavrov did sign an agreement, but by all means 45, please keep talking…
There’s a decent chance the attack was launched by Russia in “retaliation” for the St. Petersburg attack. Motive, means, opportunity. No-one seems very anxious to consider that, thought.
So gee, “Mr President” (and I use that term loosely), what are you going to do about it. Its your job now!
Don’t you think its about time that you show some leadership rather than complaining about everything the previous administration did or did not do?
“One of the things I think you’ve noticed about me is, militarily, I don’t like to say where I’m going and what I’m doing, because frankly, I have no idea what the fuck I am doing."

Try blaming “Who’s your Vladdy”, rather than President Obama, Donnie…
“In a statement condemning Tuesday’s chemical attack in Syria, President Trump faulted the administration of former President Barack Obama for not intervening more aggressively in that country’s civil war — contradicting his own, earlier advice.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/04/us/politics/fact-check-trump-syria-obama.html?smprod=nytcore-iphone&smid=nytcore-iphone-share&_r=0
There are troops in Syria.
Now Mattis is using a decade’s old authorization to make it work, but there are troops in Syria.
This POS kleptocrat called his puppetmaster and gave condolences over a subway bombing, but he has expressed no sympathy for the dead and dying children of Syria who were attacked with poison gas. I miss President Obama more than ever with every cold uncaring remark the puppet makes.
@khaaannn Good thing I can laugh and cry at the same time.
@sooner Posting this was on my to-do list for today.
I just want someone to explain why that '13 agreement went in the trash.
When he didn’t cross that line after making the threat
That’s…not…how…red lines work.
Really ? I think you are far out with that theory. The alleged perpetrator was from Kyrgyzstan, which is a long way from Syria…
Syria didn’t try this when Obama was still there. The whole world knows Trump is weak.
“Blank threat?” What in the name of Heaven is a blank threat? Does Trump have any idea of what he is saying, ever?
You think Putin would care? A Strong Message needed to be sent to signal that Putin was Strong because Strong Men send Strong Messages. The fact that the victims were utterly unrelated to the attack, and the message wouldn’t be heard by the perpetrators, would be irrelevant to him because they’re not the ones he’s sending a message to.
This is what it sounds like when senility hits people who were stupid to start with.
I found this timeline by ABCnews to be helpful, for those of us who are not as well steeped in the longer story. ABC News Timeline Chemical Weapons in Syria
Sort of like invading Iraq in response to 9/11 instead of any of the countries the hijackers and their backers actually came from?
Oh shit. I just realized Trump will respond to North Korea’s recent provocations by sending the US Navy to Madagascar.
