Here are some coincidences to consider in regards to Assad, Russia and Syria.
The US was going to withdraw from the region.
John Bolton, a hawk, is taking over the NSC advisor tomorrow

And...

Now a chemical attack

Either Assad is really stupid or something else is at play.

I don't like this one bit.

I am of the belief that there are still forces trying to instigate a war between our country and Russia.

How would that benefit any of us? A war in Syria and the frightening prospect of a nuclear confrontation between the US and Russia.

The left knows how to get at Trump. They have been pushing this faux Russia narrative for almost two years now. They have put us in danger by antagonizing our relationship with Russia.

Here are some facts.

Russia still has 1000s of nuclear warheads pointed at us.

Each nuclear warhead can level a city. Most contemporary missiles carry multiple warheads. One missile could completely level a metropolitan area.

One missle...

#PresidentTrump is being coaxed into a dangerous position.

I'd suggest DJT watch the Day After to remind himself...

If there is 100% proof this was an attack by Assad I'd say let him pay. But being able to completely ascertain at this point would be foolish.

I am no fan of Assad or Russia but I think prudence is the right procedure to take here at this point in time.

I don't think WW3 is worth fighting over a chemical attack that could be hard to substantiate.

The POTUS should go with his gut and not the neocon advisors who are itching for a fight.
