  1. Not only has Trump betrayed his own voters …but the real economic problems of the USA are now apparent:

    ‘Trust In The U.S. Was Bombed Away – Rory Hall/Dave Kranzler’

    https://www.sprottmoney.com/Blog/trust-in-the-us-was-bombed-away-rory-hall-dave-kranzler.html

    …”Despite apparent internal dispute over the validity of the intelligence that Assad’s regime unleased a poison gas attack on ISIS, president Trump bombed Syrian air force assets. According one of Parry’s CIA sources, the gas attack was a staged “false flag” event designed to provoke Trump into reversing his recent policy pronouncement that it would not seek regime change in Syria. It’s also been questioned as to whether or not the gas released was even Sarin.

    Amusingly, the staunch neoconservative propaganda rag known as the “Washing Post” published an editorial questioning the legitimacy of Trump’s missile attack. Even some of the war-thirsty lunatics on Fox News were questioning the decision.

    The U.S. has lost its economic and political edge in the global community. The evidence of this mounts. Russia and China (and other eastern bloc countries) are accumulating physical gold hand-over-fist as part of a strategy to bolster their currencies and remove the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency…

    1. When eminent USA scientists (Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) ) question the validity of the neocon and mainstream media accusations and reportage against Assad for chemical attacks against his own people…you just know Trump is in trouble for bombing Syria …

      ‘White House claims on Syria chemical attack ‘obviously false’ – MIT professor (VIDEO)’

      https://www.rt.com/usa/384520-postol-report-sarin-syria/

      “A professor who challenged the 2013 claims of a chemical attack in Syria is now questioning the Trump administration’s narrative blaming the Assad government for the April 4 attack in the Idlib province town of Khan Shaykhun…

  3. What does “taken care of” mean?

    “I don’t know if this sends a message, it doesn’t make any difference if it does or not,”

    “North Korea is a problem, the problem will be taken care of. I will say this: I think China has really been working very hard. I have really gotten to like and respect, as you know, President Xi, he’s a terrific person, we spent a lot of time together in Florida, and he’s a very special man. I think he’s going to try very hard.”

    If the Chinese can’t persuade the North Koreans to give up their nuclear ambitions, then what?

    “Will be taken care of”, be what is generally presumed to be meant, by the euphemism, “taken care of”?

  4. funny – HOW TRUMP SWITCHED TO BEING A FUULY FLEDGED HAWK NOW SINCE TILLERSON BECOME THE NEW SECRETARY OF STATE?????

  5. “I vehemently and in strongest words condemn the dropping of the latest weapon, the largest non-nuclear bomb, on Afghanistan by US military,”

    Ex-President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai
    ​

    “This is not the War on Terror, but the inhuman and most brutal misuse of our country as testing ground for new and dangerous weapons,” he said. “It is upon us, Afghans, to stop the US.”

    Ex-President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai

  6. Can World War Three be fought with “Conventional Weapons”?

    (Since the end of the Cold War, this is the question that has been exercising the mind of military planners)

    Trump practices for WWIII in Afghanistan

    (Just as the Germans practiced for WWII in Spain)

    USdrops biggest non-nuclear bomb in Afghanistan, says target was Islamic State

    Hindustan Times, April 13, 2017

    As US military investigators comb over the human and material entrails of this massive explosion, targeted at Afghanistan tunnels, they will be able to determine its effectiveness against North Korean underground bunkers.

    The outcome of their deliberations may determine whether or not we are in a world war before the end of the year.

    The question being determined by the “test” dropping of the MOAB in Afghanistan is; Will World War Three be a nuclear war or a conventional war?

    Lost in the uproar over Sean Spicer’s confused claims, that the Nazis never used gas weapons against their enemies, (which overlooked the fact that the Nazis gassed millions of Jewish civilians and other “undesirable peoples” in their concentration camps.) Is the very real fact known by military planners, that nerve gases delivered by high altitude bombers, (Sarin was invented by the Nazis), were the fearsome ultimate weapons of their day, comparable to nuclear weapons of today, but were never used in combat by either side.

    British military planners had expected and planned against the use of gas by the Nazis, with the issuing of gas masks to the entire population of Britain. But luckily it never came to that, as Sarin, (in particular), can be deadly even if it falls on the skin and the gas masks of the day would have been useless. This well known fact, led to the post-war development of the infamous (but impractical) “Noddy Suits” issued to US and British forces in the Gulf war. (Against the possibility that Saddam Hussein could deploy sarin). Just like the nuclear deterrent in the Cold War, there was a “Balance of Terror” over nerve gas in the Second World War. With Prime Minister Churchill publicly threatening the Nazis that if they dropped nerve gas on England, that England also had stockpiles of nerve gas and was prepared and able to reciprocate in kind.

    Even though fearsome nerve gas weapons were possessed in large quantities by both sides in WWII. In the end, nerve gases were never dropped on enemy cities by either side.

    American military planners are weighing up whether they are prepared to take the same gamble around the non-use of today’s ultimate nuclear weapons, in a possible clash between the Super Powers over North Korea.

    The point of all this is; That lost in the confusion of Spicer’s comments, is that behind the scenes, (and informing Spicer’s comments), US military planners are contemplating if they can risk a Super Power clash, without either side turning to the use of nuclear weapons.

    Hence the fevered development of so called “conventional weapons” like MOAB and FOAB and other “bunker busters”. whose aim is to be in first with destroying the buried underground nuclear facilities of the other side.

    And why MOAB was dropped on Afghanistan tunnels yesterday.

    Blurring the line between nuclear and non-nuclear weapons

    FOAB

  7. “Blurring the line between nuclear and non-nuclear weapons:

    FOAB = This is still a weapon of mass destruction, as if used in a populated area will kill on mass.

    Who then will control where it will be dropped??????

    Will it be the same USA people who so far in 15yrs of this mindless war have clearly lost the plot, and now resort to this massive new criminal weapon if they find the war worsens????
