Here are a few of Donald Trump’s 123 tweets on Syria, both before and after he became the US president, listed in chronological order:
2009: Trump joins Twitter.
[no tweets that name Syria]
2010:
[no tweets that name Syria]
2011: The Arab Spring in Syria leads to civil war.
Oct 6, 2011 12:07:14 PM Why is the UN condemning @Israel and doing nothing about Syria? What a disgrace.
2012: The Syrian Civil War continues, as it will throughout the rest of the tweets.
Mar 16, 2012 02:28:58 PM We should have gotten more of the oil in Syria, and we should have gotten more of the oil in Iraq. Dumb leaders.
2013: Poison gas used in the Syrian Civil War, crossing President Obama’s “red line”.
Jun 15, 2013 07:33:43 PM We should stay the hell out of Syria, the “rebels” are just as bad as the current regime. WHAT WILL WE GET FOR OUR LIVES AND $ BILLIONS?ZERO
Aug 30, 2013 06:02:31 PM The President must get Congressional approval before attacking Syria-big mistake if he does not!
Sep 3, 2013 09:00:07 PM What I am saying is stay out of Syria.
Sep 5, 2013 03:45:05 PM Russia is sending a fleet of ships to the Mediterranean. Obama’s war in Syria has the potential to widen into a worldwide conflict.
Sep 10, 2013 06:25:51 PM This new Russian strategy guarantees victory for the Syrian government-and makes Obama and U.S. look hopelessly bad. President in trouble!
Sep 11, 2013 08:19:54 AM Obama must now start focusing on OUR COUNTRY, jobs, healthcare and all of our many problems. Forget Syria and make America great again!
2014: ISIS takes over eastern Syria and western Iraq.
Aug 25, 2014 07:10:45 AM We will now be helping Syria and Iran by attacking ISIS – ironic, isn’t it!
2015; The Charlie Hebdo and November 13th terrorist attacks in Paris. Trump runs for president.
Nov 19, 2015 08:11:49 AM Eight Syrians were just caught on the southern border trying to get into the U.S. ISIS maybe? I told you so. WE NEED A BIG & BEAUTIFUL WALL!
2016: Trump still running for president…
Mar 24, 2016 10:55:32 AM Europe and the U.S. must immediately stop taking in people from Syria. This will be the destruction of civilization as we know it! So sad!
May 21, 2016 12:02:41 PM Crooked Hillary Clintons foreign interventions unleashed ISIS in Syria, Iraq and Libya. She is reckless and dangerous!
2017: Trump becomes president. After a poison gas attack, he bombs Syria without approval by Congress, the exact opposite of what he urged Obama to do under the same circumstances in 2013.
Apr 8, 2017 09:54:24 AM Congratulations to our great military men and women for representing the United States, and the world, so well in the Syria attack.
Sadly, this is not just a Trump thing. You can quote Obama, Bush II and Nixon before and after they became president and see the same about face, the same Oval Office conversion. Almost as if they were all reading from the same script. Even worse, the Script remains the same even though it leads to repeated disasters. Nixon repeated President Johnson’s mistakes in Vietnam, and Bush and Obama did the same in Afghanistan and Iraq, spending trillions, killing millions, in failed wars. Why?

The U.S. fired 30 million dollars worth of Tomahawk Land Attack Cruise missiles, of which 58 of 59 are stated by the U.S. to have hit their targets.
Nice one. Don.
But news is coming out that air defences were stood down when Russia was notified of the impending attack and the Syrians moved what they could out of the way.
So replaceable and fixable stuff was blown up.But I suppose Trump could look all presidential.
The Syrians don’t want the USA and Russia waging war in their country. I know and talk to Syrian refugees. They believe both powers are tearing Syria apart to serve their own imperialist interests.
They’re not wrong.
Assad is a monster. He should be dead.
But who comes after Assad, Donald hmm?
The Salafist rebels – That’s who. And what are they going to do once they have power ? Best case scenario : They set up a Gulf State-style theocracy in Syria, a Saudi Arabia on the Eastern Med. Worst case scenario : Syria becomes a hellhole.
There are no moderate rebels in Syria.
When America strikes one, the other gains. And if and when ISIS and Assad are both gone, Syria will be nothing but ashes.
America should leave.
No more strikes in Syria. No more drones in Pakistan. No more occupation of Afghanistan. No more money for the butchers of the Saudi government to bomb preschools, hospitals, and funerals in Yemen.
Not to mention just who is that’s selling the Chemical Weapons to Syria ?
Yup – White people
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28212724
Tell me when I’m lying ?
If the US actually wanted to remove Assad from power, why aren’t they destroying government infrastructure (official residences, government office buildings, treasury, all military bases)?
Trump’s not a deep thinker. He didn’t change his mind about Syria because of a few more photos of dead children. These are the babies that he wanted to ban from seeking refuge in the USA, not for 30 days, not for 90 days, but forever. So they’d be sent back to Syria to be killed by ISIS
Copying a chessmaster’s opening move does not make you a chessmaster.
But Trumps gets to beat his chest in front of Xi Jinping right before he talks about North Korea. Isn’t that convenient ? Don’t write off action against North Korea soon

If every president, regardless of party, adopts the same pre-established agenda, that is a symptom, if not evidence in itself, that we have a deep state in operation in this country.
Perhaps the deep state is not so much the people, the bankers, the intel agencies, corporations, MSM and the rest, as it is the political ideology.
And apparently the agenda of the Deep State can be summed up in one word. War. Endless, perpetual war and regime change and destruction of nations. And absolute worldwide hegemony. The agenda of the Deep State is war.

Since the name, Obama is poison on this site why bring his name up. All of you know he is at least the devil.
Why ask why? The President has a Republican majority and a few Democrat that want to show the world our power. How better to do that than to threaten Putin and make everyone think that Putin is not the Presidents friend.
Serves two purposes.

Hooray for Amerika,
once again, prove to the world who you really are! Amerika is an openly racist society; who ironically claim that they are not collectively racist and support human rights as well. Even further, kneegroes are getting shot down in the streets on a regular, just as quickly as tRump fires off another rant on Twitter.
This country also claims to honor the old and protect the children; supposedly extol our veterans, but yet, most of them are unable to even find employment after returning from the battlefield and homelessness is still endemic amongst them. (smh)
What better way to get rid of two beastly systems, ran by white people, than to facilitate a confrontation (by a Higher authority), whereby, they both succumb to extinction due to their foolishness regarding who has the biggest missile? Meanwhile, the lives of millions of innocent people, hang in the balance. What better way to reveal to the world, who the true war mongers are, than to have two supposedly world super powers (actually, Frankenstein on a macro scale ), in war armaments, moral turpitude, weapons of mass destruction and wanton violence under a banner of moral absolutism? Yeah, right!
Personally, I could hardly wait until that dreadful day arrives, all of this BS will stop in one hour. (Revelation 18:17-18)

You might be familiar with this.
Randolph Bourne was a leftist intellectual who wrote “War is the Health of the State” back in 1918. A hundred years later it’s still worth a read and exposes perpetual war and hints at what today we are calling the deep State.
I’m not sure but I belive George Orwell was influenced by his writings.
Some excerpts:
“We are Americans because we live in a certain bounded territory, because our ancestors have carried on a great enterprise of pioneering and colonization, because we live in certain kinds of communities which have a certain look and express their aspirations in certain ways. We can see that our civilization is different from contiguous civilizations like the Indian and Mexican. The institutions of our country form a certain network which affects us vitally and intrigues our thoughts in a way that these other civilizations do not. We have arrived in it through the operation of physiological laws, and not in any way through our own choice. By the time we have reached what are called years of discretion, its influences have molded our habits, our values, our ways of thinking ….”
Describes white supremacy.
“The State is the country acting as a political unit, it is the group acting as a repository of force, determiner of law, arbiter of justice. International politics is a “power politics” because it is a relation of States and that is what States infallibly and calamitously are, huge aggregations of human and industrial force that may be hurled against each other in war. When a country acts as a whole in relation to another country, or in imposing laws on its own inhabitants, or in coercing or punishing individuals or minorities, it is acting as a State. The history of America as a country is quite different from that of America as a State. In one case it is the drama of the pioneering conquest of the land, of the growth of wealth and the ways in which it was used, of the enterprise of education, and the carrying out of spiritual ideals, of the struggle of economic classes. But as a State, its history is that of playing a part in the world, making war, obstructing international trade, preventing itself from being split to pieces, punishing those citizens whom society agrees are offensive, and collecting money to pay for it all.”
“War is the health of the State. It automatically sets in motion throughout society those irresistible forces for uniformity, for passionate cooperation with the Government in coercing into obedience the minority groups and individuals which lack the larger herd sense. The machinery of government sets and enforces the drastic penalties; the minorities are either intimidated into silence, or brought slowly around by a subtle process of persuasion which may seem to them really to be converting them. Of course, the ideal of perfect loyalty, perfect uniformity is never really attained. The classes upon whom the amateur work of coercion falls are unwearied in their zeal, but often their agitation instead of converting, merely serves to stiffen their resistance. Minorities are rendered sullen, and some intellectual opinion bitter and satirical. But in general, the nation in wartime attains a uniformity of feeling, a hierarchy of values culminating at the undisputed apex of the State ideal, which could not possibly be produced through any other agency than war. Loyalty – or mystic devotion to the State – becomes the major imagined human value. Other values, such as artistic creation, knowledge, reason, beauty, the enhancement of life, are instantly and almost unanimously sacrificed, and the significant classes who have constituted themselves the amateur agents of the State are engaged not only in sacrificing these values for themselves but in coercing all other persons into sacrificing them.”

It’s how the State functions. It’s not a political idiology that drives war (despite the propaganda) but rather an economic value attained through conquest.
It is not necessary to “win” a war if the resources spent enriches those who make up the State and the resulting destabilization keeps lesser States from controlling their own resources.
