1. Retaliate then leave?
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (04.08.18)
What kind of foreign policy is Trump adopting?
Surely he realizes that the chemical attack is because of his idiotic policy signaling that he wants out
2. Fake news
(04.08.18)
There was no chemical attack, and even if there was, Trump won't do anything about it.
3. titleThe butcher of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, continues to...
NadavKatz   (04.08.18)
slaughter the civilians in the country but:

1. The Arabist & Italian communist party member plus chief foreign affairs commissioner of the EU, Mrs. Federica Mougherini, is silent

2. The UN has nothing to say & no Arab or any other country seeks to bring the matter to any of the agencies of the UN, be it in Geneva or New York

3. The international press reports about the story as reporting about another traffic violation

P.S. Imagine the reaction if the Jews in the form of the State of Israel were the perpetrator...
4. leave or retaliate? that is the question!
HHH   (04.08.18)
and that is too complex a question for 45. He is, after all, used to working fire sales in New Jersey he doesn't know diddly from the Middle East! (and also he's really afraid of Putin!)
5. Trump's retaliation
Franklin Paredes ,   Quito   (04.08.18)
It is another false flag, that tries to provoke Trump to retaliate Assad.
This time Trump have to think twice before taking action, if that was a false flag, Putin will react accordingly.
6. Assas is a butcher and trump is a clown
Tehraniporou   (04.08.18)
I am really nostalgic, from the 2000s things have grown worser
7. Animal Assad must be liquidated now
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (04.08.18)
8. I am a Palestinian and I would like to see Assad finished
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (04.08.18)
now. The Hitler of Syria is a Cancer on the conscience of humanity.
9. Putin is taking huge risks
C   (04.08.18)
putin has most of the civilised world lined up against him.

never has russia been so isolated as it is now.

the use of chemical weapons-military nerve agents-on opponents
in the heart of the united kingdom was extremely foolish.
putin was not punished for using polonium 210 on litvinenko,
also in the uk.
there are certain acts of aggression that are beyond the pale,
totally unacceptable in the modern world.
the propaganda put out by the russians is risible and ineffective.
accusing the queen of having a drink problem is foolish.
10. Pls Mr President Trump.Send this son of diseased animal -
Eden   (04.08.18)
Assad and the regime who supports him to hell. This gas was used on tiny little kids. My G-d we are Hebrews and we have sympathy for these people despite the fact they were mistakingly educated to hate us and the west.

IS began because these people thought the west had deserted them. Obama did nothing to stop it.

Please Mr President.
11. no, man, do not get us locked into that evil sand box
Cameron   (04.09.18)
Let us pack our bags, and step for the door.

12. Muslims must be allowed to freely slaughter each other
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (04.09.18)
13. Assad, please keep killing as many of your own as possible
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (04.09.18)
14. Trump's threatens! Wow! the world is a safer place!
(04.09.18)
15. It is unlikely President Assad who is an Ophthamologist used
Rivkah   (04.10.18)
chemical weapons on his own people. Who hates President Assad so much to frame his regime in the hopes of toppling President Assad? SAUDI ARABIA!!! Ph.D. Scriptures scholar Dr. Joel Rosenberg shows from Scriptures in his book "God's War on Terror" that Saudia Arabia is the Babylon that is to be destroyed in an hour. Cities there like Dedan are a clue that the Babylon that is to be destroyed in an hour is Saudi Arabia. The terrorism of Wahabi Islam comes from Saudi Arabia and is funded by Saudi Arabia that will be judged with destruction in an hour.
16. No Authority
Mark be Josef ,   USA   (04.10.18)
Trump is not the US King. He has no right to "retaliate." Congress decides.

Another article of impeachment if her orders an attack.
17. Trump be like blah! blah! blah! Israel be like booyaka!
(04.10.18)
18. He will order a "tremendous" attack with few Tomahawks&
(04.10.18)
