Russia says they will sink ships, sink subs, shoot down aircraft. That's war.

But in the moment it looks that Trump just made a U-turn, with his military "reaction within 48 hours" proclaimed on monday.

Now it is like "Trump says U.S. could help Russian economy."

Your link doesn't show me anything.

But I guess it is referring to this tweet by Trump:
Quote:
Our relationship with Russia is worse now than it has ever been, and that includes the Cold War. There is no reason for this. Russia needs us to help with their economy, something that would be very easy to do, and we need all nations to work together. Stop the arms race?
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/...32798821568513

The tweet before that (an hour earlier) had a different tone:
Quote:
Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!

You did not include students, lesbians, or hippies so we must assume that you feel comfortable with the ones you left off

Why do we keep broadcasting when we are going to attack Syria. Why can't we just be quiet and, if we attack at all, catch them by surprise?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2013



Yessir, why, oh Lord, oh why?

Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all! In any event, the United States, under my Administration, has done a great job of ridding the region of ISIS. Where is our “Thank you America?”

Seems to me the White House has introduced a new military missile technology: the tweat-and-forget missile.

The Donalds' tweets last for eternity. Until they no more last.

That's correct, those groups don't bother me. Now vegans on the other hand, they're annoying.

Dont worry, over 40% of vegans were repeatedly found in medical studies over the past years to be ill from nutrition deficits, and practice food habits that even may damage their genes if practiced too long. With some luck your annoyance extincts itself. See them in holy cow's heaven.

By following the news here and in Sweden

I get the feeling it wouldn't be little stick with a needle Trump are planning to give Assad

A Carrie-group is heading into the Mediterranean due to arrive somewhere next week and more ships from England and France should be heading this way.


I hope is nothing more than a show-off.

And not a massive strike against Syria and the possibility for a engagement with Russia.

It would appear that May and Macron are falling into line behind Trump but I'm not sure the British population are so eager. I can't speak for the peolple of France of course and Germany has already stated she will not be a part of any military response.

Interesting article in the press this morning as to how Gazprom the Russian energy company uses its pricing model as an coercive economic weapon. Cheapest prices go to Germany, most expensive to its former eastern bloc partners..........................
Question, after the opposition in Syria is finally crushed and Assad is the unopposed President of the world's largest rubble heap who pays for the rebuilding?

I got a laugh from a Armchair General who rang in on this subject on the radio. He said the West can clean shop and wipe Syria and Russia off the map, his comment on Russian technology was it was at best 25 years out of date and rusting.

Well on that note all I can say good job people like that have no power to start military action.

Trump and Putin should meet and work things out face to face.
