From the outside perspective, it all just doesn't make sense. The whole deep state theory gets deeper and deeper everyday. Someone, or something is pushing for this war to escalate and won't let it cool down.
Check out my YT channel where I post NW www.youtube. com/c/CluelessWill

god damn, Anthony is smart, he was able to get the shit AEF to tie with the best reg in the game. The tactical geniusness needed to pull off such a feat is insane. He's the Erwin Rommel of NW.

Looking at the facts and how the civil war was going for Assad, I just cannot see him ordering a chemical weapon strike. Trump had literally just wrote him off saying he'll more or less leave Assad alone, then Assad orders a chemical strike knowing Trump won't be able to turn a blind eye?

It's not the first time the rebels have tried to pull a false flag, either.
Did the rebels have the capability to do so? I mean considering they're flying jets (multiple times remember, considering the followup attacks on the hospitals/clinics) in what is largely Russian/Regime controlled territory. As of March 8th there had been no Coalition airstrikes in that region, only Russian, which leads me to believe that there is air superiority in favour of Russia/Assad there. Surely they'd just have been shot out of the sky?

Should just wait for the bipartisan OPCW investigational findings, sorties have continuously been flying out from those Syrian air bases for a while now, I'm sure it was always a target

Good for Trump, he actually had the balls to do something about it and I support that sort of response.  Don't think it will escalate to a full out war, Syria knows it would obviously lose
It was a surprisingly fast response and sent a clear message that he handles things differently than Obama. I for one did not think the Trump administration would involve themselves, even after the chemical attack. However, I am rather pleased with it. It's about time someone stepped up and did something.

I agree. I think it sends a clear message that we aren't going to let innocent people get attacked in anyway. Under Obama, nothing would have happened. I am glad Trump sends a message. Also, Hillary said we should have hit all the air fields; however, Trump's response was direct, limited, and targeted one.
yes... Trump is being a very good goy it seems

Moving on from Trump...



Here's a picture of Justin Trudeau's photographer taking pictures of Justin Trudeau sitting at his desk signing photographs of himself. They say an image tells a thousand words...

I'm supporting Erin O'Toole, but Bernier would be my second choice with O'Leary a distant third. Anyone but Michael Chong (barely a conservative) basically.

It seems we can blame the likes of Kushner and co. for Trump's recent actions (which have been praised by Israel, Saudi Arabia and about anyone else who wants to expand their territory).

Trump seems to have changed his mind on yet another issue he highlighted during his campaign - "draining the swamp".

He's removed Bannon from his security council. Not good news for anyone who isn't a fan of globalism.

Lol if Assad wants to retaliate he could target the thousand or so US troops already on Syria on the premise of 'incursion on sovereign territory', but he won't he will just write a strongly worded statement

Getting back to French politics, I saw this being shared on Twitter and it looks interesting. Couple of spelling mistakes but it's written by a French journalist so that's to be expected: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C8_-ZtIWsAAvZ8X.jpg

Not been following French politics (mainly because I'm British and we don't care about what happens in a country 30 miles away or so) but can anyone who has comment on it?
