But no one needed Sherlock to see the glaring inconsistencies in president Donald Trump’s claim that Syria killed their own people in a poison gas attack, as evidence of creeping globalism mounted this week.
After all Trump’s campaign promises, why did he decide to bomb Syria? As CNN’s Fareed Zakaria noted: “There is a danger that we effectively acted as ISIS’s air force. Because anything that weakens Assad in a strategic sense in Syria, strengthens ISIS. Those are the two principle players on the ground.”
Here are some gems from the resurrected Trump tweets dating back to 2013 that heckled former president Barack Obama for considering to intervene militarily in Syria:
The President must get Congressional approval before attacking Syria-big mistake if he does not!
AGAIN, TO OUR VERY FOOLISH LEADER, DO NOT ATTACK SYRIA – IF YOU DO MANY VERY BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN & FROM THAT FIGHT THE U.S. GETS NOTHING!
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
What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval.
We should stop talking, stay out of Syria and other countries that hate us, rebuild our own country and make it strong and great again-USA!
President Obama, do not attack Syria. There is no upside and tremendous downside. Save your “powder” for another (and more important) day!
Let the Arab League take care of Syria. Why are these rich Arab countries not paying us for the tremendous cost of such an attack?
Only days before last November’s election, Trump told a crowd in Florida that Hillary Clinton “wants to start a shooting war in Syria…that could very well lead to World War III.”
According to the TNS Global poll for the Sputnik news agency, majorities in Germany, France, and the UK, as well as half of respondents from Italy, believe that the world will become less secure under Trump’s presidency. Some 45 percent of Americans feel the same way. Germans seem most concerned, with 72 percent believing that the world will become ‘less secure’ under Trump.
The sense of many European voters would be the most optimistic take on what is happening Syria currently, after a report of Trump’s daughter indeed persuading her father to order the missile strike.
Trump’s son Eric Trump confirmed on Tuesday that his sister Ivanka Trump, who recently became an unpaid White House adviser, influenced her father’s decision to launch an attack on Syria, according to The Telegraph.
On Friday, April 7, the US launched 59 cruise missiles at Syria’s Ash Shayrat airbase in Homs province from ships in the Mediterranean, after unsupported and unsubstantiated claims that the Syrian government launched a chemical attack in Idlib province just days earlier.
“It was horrible. These guys are savages and I’m glad he responded the way he responded,” Eric Trump added, but he could give no details.
European leaders, clearly against the will of the majority of their constituents, rushed to praise Trump for his “resolve”. France and Germany issued a joint statement blaming Damascus and urged the joining of forces “for a political transition in Syria,” i.e. regime change.
EU Council President Donald Tusk tweeted that the EU too “will work with the US to end brutality in Syria”.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem meanwhile said that government forces had never and would never use chemical weapons against either civilians or terrorists.
The negotiating positions of Washington ahead of Secretary of State Tex Tillerson’s talks with Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov degraded after US missile attack on Syria.
