if trump carpet bombs syria, a lot of the responsibility is going to lie with senate democrats who have been trying to paint him as a russian puppet.
when accusations of chemical weapon use are thrown around, it is of the utmost importance to allow for an investigation to proceed. accusation is not proof. and, we know, today, that the rebels in syria (probably with help from nato intelligence operations) have staged attacks and blamed it on assad in order to try and instigate greater nato involvement. that is historical fact.
i mean, assad would have to be a complete idiot to do this at this time. to begin with, assad is not making decisions. the russians are making decisions. but, trump has indicated that he wants to disengage from bombing the regime and focus entirely on isis. why would assad choose this particular point in time to launch a chemical attack? that would be retarded.
yet, trump is absolutely dumb enough to fall for fabricated reports. he won't ask questions. he has total faith in his handlers.
if you know anything about this situation, it's absolutely fucking obvious.
but, he's also stubborn. and narcissistic. it's the opportunity to prove he's not working for the russians that is the real incentive, here.
and, the resulting war crimes prosecution that will never actually happen should be distributed equally upon every member of congress, and every member of the media, that has contributed to the dissemination of this fabrication.
