  1. “in retaliation for (another) chemical attack on civilians”

    Slight factual error there. The false flag ‘event’ to which you refer was orchestrated by MI6 and has been established by OPCW as never having been a chemical attack. I guess you’re as happy inventing your own facts as DJTweet.

Then there’s DJTweet’s need for Russian cooperation to keep a lid on crude prices. Hopefully when the lights go off the brown-outs will hit DC first.
