Personally, Trump may did a favor for the rebels, even if it makes difference by little to weaken Assad. The next day seems things go normal. I have no idea what Russia have in mind. The chemical gas attack needs to be confirmed 1000%.
I lately learned about the issue of U.S. government, over 500 million dollars, fake AlQaeda video, yara yara yara. I don't know what to make of all this. The media.
This is just a theory, but some people are saying it was a way for Donald Trump to deliberately escalate tension with Russia so then it would be easier to lift the sanctions on them, without having the media screaming that he's in league with Putin, and continue with their oil dealings.
Russia had a $500 billion oil deal with Exxon Mobile right before Obama put sanctions on them. Right now, the CEO of Exxon, who was also awarded "Russia's Order of Friendship" from Putin, is the Secretary of State and even he was on board with the attack on Syria.
Again, this is just a theory, but this entire debacle is just suspicious and crazy.
Four/Eight years aren't a short time. You can laugh with your heart content in 2020/2024 if America remained the same, and you can cry for them too, because...
Trust me, I feel for everyone. I know there are people who voted for Trump simply for economic reasons.
But the Trumpanzees who voted for him for xenophobic and racist reasons, such as the alt-right, I have little sympathy for.
You have to find something to laugh at, otherwise you'll be overwhelmed from all the depression. Being on this forum alone is already stretching me thin.
