Mr. Trump & the Gas Attacks

MR. TRUMP & THE GAS ATTACKS

GAS ATTACK #1:  The Skripal duo in England were apparently given some type of nerve agent. T. May and B. Johnson immediately claimed it was Novichok manufactured in Russia.  No proof of any kind was ever given.  Donald Trump went along with the lame story line.

AS OF TODAY:  Sergei Skripal, a former Russian double agent, and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with an incapacitating toxin known as 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate or BZ, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, citing the results of the examination conducted by a Swiss chemical lab that worked with the samples that London handed over to the Organization for the Prohibition of the Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

The toxin was never produced in Russia, but was in service in the US, UK, and other NATO states.

GAS ATTACK #2:  Several people in a neighborhood called Duma which is near Damascus were supposedly attacked with Chlorine gas a few days ago.  Again absolutely no evidence was given and the only groups that had access afterwards were the Syrians and Russians.  The Russians claimed there were no dead bodies and the local hospitals claimed no one came in for treatment.

A comment by Gordon Duff from a post on Veterans Today:

VT has also followed closely the long series of false flag chemical weapons attacks, both sarin and military-grade chlorine because we knew the Syrians would never be so stupid as to hand their heads to the US Coalition in a silver platter by doing something with no chance of any gain, but exactly the opposite.

Did the unproven gas attack matter to England, France, and the USA?  Not at all.  Donald Trump immediately tweeted that the “butcher” Assad gassed his own people and said that bombing reparations must be made.

However, Russia stated that if any Russian property or Russian humans were killed or destroyed the missiles would be shot down and the ships or planes of their origin would be taken out as well.

Apparently the USA military along with Donald Trump are fairly certain that Russia is capable of their promise and that most likely it would happen.  Thus, behind the scenes backpedaling began.  Trump did not want the ships and planes destroyed along with the possible start of a nuclear WWIII.

It was evidently agreed between the Americans and Russians that a face saving attack would be allowed if the bombing locations were agreed upon in advance.  The USA, England, and France would fire a limited number of cruise missiles.  The Syrian army would shoot down as many as possible (which was most of them although denied by the US military) and the few that did connect would cause little to no damage to the Syrian landscape.

A comment from Tyler Durbin from a post on Zero Hedge:

Sure, over a 100 cruise missiles were fired on Saturday morning local time at three mostly empty military installations, including one research and two storage facilities in airstrikes that last no more than 70 minutes.

In saving face, Russia said they did little damage and that most of the cruise missiles targeting Syrian sites had been intercepted by Syrian air defenses, including all of those that were bound for the site from which last week’s alleged chemical attack originated.

Trump’s Reasoning

It is difficult to believe that Trump and his advisors are complete idiots, though some think that is the case.  Is Trump trying to alienate his supporters?  Is he being threatened?  Is he merely playing the greater Israel game (i.e. this is the most likely reason)?  After all, Mr. Trump has recently said that USA troops must leave Syria and allow someone else to deal with the situation. 

Former Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee says that Mr. Trump could be playing Ali’s “rope-a-dope”.  Dr. Stephan Jones also thinks that Mr. Trump is merely playing a game to flush out certain deep state swamp monsters and the end result may occur with a month or two.

Here is what Charles Bausman from an article posted on Russia Today had to say about Mr. Trump’s words and actions:

Far more important is the damage Trump did to himself politically. One can only guess at the pressures brought to bear on him to take this suicidal (politically) act. I'm starting to think that this whole charade, starting with the Skripal poisoning a month ago, was an elaborate plot to mortally damage his presidency, not to achieve anything in Syria - well, if so, the plotters have succeeded.

Trump has said and done many things that can hurt him over the past 18 months, but nothing as bad as standing up in front of the American people, and with great solemnity and invoking WW1 gassings, 'nobility' of warriors, prayer, and all this sort of talk, telling one whopping lie after another, looking straight into the camera. He knows they are lies, and a good chunk of the American electorate knows they are - I'm guessing 30% of the whole, and a good 50% of his base. That is not something you can come back from.

He just burned his bridges with a lot of people who think telling the truth is important.

It must be kept in mind that all the pundits with all their articles and posts are merely expressing an educated opinion.  Some more educated than the others.  It is still my opinion (and just an opinion) that the Trump election was designed by God and that he (Trump) is supposed to serve some purpose in the eradication of Mystery Babylon.  Occasionally that purpose appears to be obvious and other times, such as his reaction to the gas attacks, it is not so obvious but rather bewildering and confusing.

Only time will tell and in the meantime we will all play the “I guess we’ll have to see what happens next” game.
