what if (Re: syria)

okay, as the media and governments to control the narrative have been proven to lie about anything, I realize all I have to offer speculation. However, I humbly offer everyone some food for disturbing thought.

So far the news narrative is that the Syrian attack was not as big as people thought it was going to be. Granted, I don't really see why that would've been a problem, but then again I am not wanting to do something that at the very best estimate will wind up being a repeat of Iraq. Note over in Syria, aside is talking is if the attack was much less than he expected.

Most people will think oh this is just bluster on both the part of Trump and the part of Assad. Heaven knows the two of them could go ahead and say that a bit of tinfoil is a silver mine. However, what is Putin in Trump deliberately did this as a smokescreen. Yes I know we're sailing into conspiracy theory waters, but we live in an age where what would have been absurd is now as hard a reality as a skyscraper.

Russia of course was to keep Syria because it needs a warm water port. The West needs to look like they're not given carte blanche to the use of chemical weapons, especially because they know that if they do, it will not be a matter of if a Western leader decides to go ahead and drop some chemical weapons on its people, but when. Of course do go ahead and tell folks of Ferguson that America has not crossed that line. so, we need something that can go ahead and make the two little babies that he has led around by a leash look like they can save face. Trump does a small bombing, Assad gets to look like the triumphant leader, and everyone goes about their business. A puppet show meant to abuse the media.

Of course, there is yet one more layer, Trump has been criticized for being too nice to Russia. There is this is scandal where he could possibly be a the very first president to be accused of working with a foreign power, the same one that is accused of rigging our election. the midterms are coming up, and many people are expecting the Republicans to lose the house, possibly even the Senate.

What if the reason why Trump acted like hhe was so tough with Putin is so that it will make charges of Russian collusion look less likely. You will just go ahead and say "look I have the Russians I might be going towards the, why would they help me with an election?" we could be looking at a real puppet show where Putin Asad and Trump basically are doing what pro wrestling is called a swerve, something to make the audience think that a bunch of people really hate each other and are really getting her went backstage feel be the ones sipping coffee together.

The only problem is that while Trump,, and the little Syrian dog go ahead and do all their bleeding for the camera, the citizens of said nations are going to be doing the real bleeding. We are nothing but fuel to these people folks, our blood is their gasoline nothing more.
