A good outdated liar!

Are these the same 'international investigators' who concluded that Iran launched a drone attack that flew right through the overlapping and concentric air defences around the MOST SENSITIVE NATO base in the region rather than the folks who are AT WAR with the Saudis, have launched several drone attacks and proclaimed them, just like they proclaimed this one. You know, the ones who cited the 'well known fact' that drones only fly in straight lines.

More warmonggring deep state propaganda. Trump has a LOT more swamp draining to do to stop this.

Hmmm, so I guess he has to start with his Sec of State who announced attack? And who may be involved up to his neck in the Ukraine scandal? I doubt Donnie would want to fire him - payback you know....

The Assad regime used chlorine on May 19 in Latakia province as part of its deadly offensive to take back the last major rebel stronghold in nearby Idlib, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said.

But I have a feeling that Trump will be impeached before he can do any more cleaning - actually its the impeachment that will clean out the ultimate swamp creature - The Great Orange Criminal...

There is no question in my mind about this. The Syrian government knows that nothing anyone has said or done so far will stop them reclaiming lost territory by the most effective means to hand. Barrel bombs on hospitals for example, sure, are dropped deliberately as soon as they discover where they are, because these will sow terror into the local inhabitants. Displacing civilian populations is easier to do with a heavy gas like chlorine, which seeps into basements where people naturally hide. They continue to repeat this pattern ad nauseam. Nowhere is safe. If anyone kicks up a fuss, simply blame it on the rebels.

So, as civilized people, what should we the international community, yes, including Russia, do about it?

It's hard to respect the bluster of the current Trump Organization executives. Pompeo has made a number of gaffes that reveals his lack of breadth of knowledge of the players on the global stage on which he operates.

But maybe he knows a little bit more than his boss. Maybe.
