Trump: Syria Attack “Could Take Place Very Soon Or Not So Soon At All”

Click to visit the TBP Store for Great TBP Merchandise

Via Zerohedge.com

Having likely taken a lot of heat from none other than his chief of staff Gen. Kelly for his Wednesday morning tweet in which he rather explicitly revealed US military plans, stating that “Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia,  because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!”, president Trump is backtracking this morning, and in his third tweet of the morning (after commenting on Robert Mueller and the “failing New York Times”, and commending California Gov. Jerry Brown for sending the national guard to the border) Trump said that he never really said what he said. To wit:

Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all! In any event, the United States, under my Administration, has done a great job of ridding the region of ISIS. Where is our “Thank you America?”

While we are confident that Putin may have an objection about the “ridding the region of ISIS” part, the first part of the statement is only adding more confusion and has made Trump’s initial threat even more nebulous, as now markets are worried about surging higher, well aware that risk-negative airstrikes on Syria are coming, but unaware when, which in turn prevents coordinated buying of stocks or other risk assets.

Of course, it may well be that Trump never strikes Syria as the US carrier Truman is roughly 2 weeks from the Syrian coast, which would mean that the UK, and/or France will be tasked with firing the cruise missiles meant to punish Assad for doing precisely the same thing he did last April when the US lobbed over 50 Tomahawks missiles at the Syrian regime.

Sorry everyone to jump my reply to the top but you all should see this ridiculous “video evidence” being posted on the BBC.
Only an idiot ( or most of the non-thinking public) would not see this is a staged scene filled with crisis actors and exploiting kids……….

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-43740626

The video is about 2/3rds down the article— notice none of the kids is coughing or wheezing, none of their noses are running, none even have red eyes !
This is so poorly made and unconvincing that it is an insult–watch when they supposedly give the small child a bronchial dilator spray– the nozzle is facing toward the caregiver and even sprays back towards him, they aren’t even spraying into the child’s mouth or having the kids inhale the spray….NONE of the kids in this phony propaganda video has been exposed to chemical weapons—what a crock. If this is an example of TPTB evidence, then there can not even be a scintilla of doubt this is a contrived event to escalate a war 2 days after Trump announced pulling out of Syria…….

I’ve figured out that, strategically, what Trump says and what he does are two different things. When he did bomb Syria, nothing was in the news until after is was done. This time he keeps saying ‘it’s going to happen…maybe…possibly’. When is the last time you saw Trump actually telegraph his true intentions. From what I’ve seen misdirection is the most common tactic, and it’s working. That’s how I see it.

The other day I read that MBS (SA) expected the oil price to rise to $80.

Yesterday, I and a couple others posited that Trump was perhaps bluffing about attacking Syria (cuz that is what Trump has learned to do in his career: go high with bid and negotiate down, but from a position of strength).

So – I wonder if all this attack stuff is to get the oil price higher to support SA.

KOKO.
It might also make Shale oil at least a break even proposition. It would also be a blessing to Russia.
Put sanctions on Russia and then give them back with higher oil prices. That would be consistently inconsistent like everything else out of Washington.

After OJ has promised to rain bombs down on Syria he’s gonna look an utter fool if he doesn’t do something. Although he did something similar with NK.

Either way, his entertainment value is sky high. I mean if you ignore all the shit he promised before going in you HAVE to acknowledge the entertainment value is high.

Monday: Fucked a hooker

Tuesday:Threatened a nuclear superpower with “smart” missiles

Wednesday:Golf

Thursday: Pretended not to threaten nuclear power

Doesn’t the EXCESSIVELY over the top high school-esque Tweets give it away? They’re fucking cringeworthy.

“Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!”

Yeah Fleabags it’s pretty sad, but this one gets my vote

“These asset seizures are going to be put to very good use. In essence he is going to seize the assets of all the individuals AND ENTITIES involved in human trafficking, human rights abuses, corruption and activities that do harm to the economy of the USA. These assets will essentially be all of the wealth the deep state has been transferring from us to themselves. The amounts are staggering even if you exclude the possibility of the FED being one of the ENTITIES seized. Include the FED and my bet is that the total dollar denominated assets seized will easily exceed the entire US debt and deficit. That, in and of itself, will leave quite the conundrum for the FED bankers to explain will it not?
Again it’s just too delicious for words. We’re going to seize their wealth and assets to rebuild the country, extinguish the debt and prosecute, imprison and execute the deep state scum that has bent over the human race for 8000 years. The only way that could be any more delicious is if they pipe CNN into their prison cells during the trial phase showing this happening in real time.
Pie in the sky? Maybe, but to many who have been following along, there is little doubt. Now we watch the news.

This goofball is an IDIOT. His twitter is pretty much all he does. Remember when the Obamas got criticised for this?
Apparently not. What happened was this moron told the Russians he would strike. Intel reports indicate that most of the Israeli Missiles in the SURPRISE ATTACK were intercepted and shot down. Satellite pics probably showed the Russians encircling the likely target sites with their new SAMs.
General Kelly probably went BALLISTIC when he realized this IDIOT made it IMPOSSIBLE to hit the targets by telling them they were coming. If they strike now, those “smart weapons” will be toast. Whether we strike or the outdated crap the UK and French have do, Putin’s new SAMs will gun them down like pigeons.

He didn’t have troops in position. He wanted to pull the trigger, but blew off his mouth like a fool and gave the game away because they had no forces at the ready.

That you claimed that “American missiles would rain down on Syria” was an INDISPUTABLE FACT shows that you still had not learned that nothing that Trumpypoopyhead says can ever be taken at face value.

I think a lot of folks lose sight of the fact that politics is theater. A distraction. Slight of hand to keep the citizen’s eye elsewhere while the cards get dealt from the bottom of the deck. As Frank Zappa put it, “Washington is Hollywood for ugly people”. They control your mind by controlling the narrative. The 24 hour news cycle determines what will be focused on and I guarantee you that it’s designed to evoke an emotional response while distracting us from what they don’t want us to see. Go back and read some of yesteryear’s headlines. You’ll be remembering a lot of crap that you forgot all about. Shit that was used to create fear and panic, shit that was used to manipulate you. Shit that was used to undermine your freedoms and your quality of life, and then quickly swept away to be forgotten. This Trump circus is no different. As Mark Twain wrote, “If voting made a difference, they wouldn’t let you do it”.

There is a shit storm coming and there are a lot of people who will be blindsided by it because they were focused on the theatrical production instead of situating their selves into a more survivable position. A lot of people think they will depend on someone else when the ill winds blow, but it is your own responsibility to take care of you and yours. There will be a lot of pain and likely a lot of death. Get ready for it.

Actually the joke was on you.

Too funny.
