Bashar Hafez al-Assad is pals with Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin > Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin owns Donald John Trump.

BEIRUT (Reuters) – A chemical attack on a rebel-held town in eastern Ghouta has killed dozens of people, medical services reported, and Washington said the reports – if confirmed – would demand an immediate international response.

A joint statement by the medical relief organization Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS) and the civil defense service, which operates in rebel-held areas, said 49 people had died in the attack late on Saturday. Others put the toll at 150 or more.

The Russian-backed Syrian state denied government forces had launched any chemical attack as the reports began circulating and said the rebels were collapsing and fabricating news.

    Last week Trump urged a pull out of Syria, and now, in his most recent tweet, Trump calls Assad, “Animal Assad”?
    Why would Assad use chemical weapons when he knows that it will just mean that the US will continue it’s presence in Syria, and that the Assad forces will probably be dealt another Ivanka bombing?

    If Democrats would actually run on something other than ethnic politics and anti-Russian hysteria then you would be able to be anti-war. But you’ve been the people supporting an oligarchy that keeps demonizing Russia while working with “allies in the region” to use false flags attacks. Where are you going to go in cultural and political space when Trump/Bolton and the rest want to use an even better pretext than this to start a war with Iran/Russia?

    Idiocy. This is almost as bad as your failure to stop the Iraq war. Get it together.

    What have we been doing?

    Did I fail to stop the Iraq war? My god! I’m a monster….

    I think there’s a good point in there, but who can tell.

    Why don’t you go blow a goat? That would do just as much to stop American imperialism as your suggestions.

    While you’re at it, why don’t you go tell your good friends with 1,500 nuclear warheads aimed at us to go point them somewhere else? I’m sure they’ll listen to you because they’re such a peace-loving country. Fuckwad.

    Who the hell knows the truth. Remember when the above was in the news. Frankly, I wouldnt put it past Trump/Bolton/Saudia Arabia, UAE and Israel to have planned the whole thing…all those countries want a piece of whats left Syria. How do we know whats fake and isnt…do you believe everything you hear on corporate TV channels, or are WE being bamboozled and hoodwinked…again, just like Iraq..twice.
