COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
“Syria air strikes: US is 'locked and loaded' if poison gas is used again, Donald Trump says’
He should address Israel's public ambush of hundreds of unarmed Palestinians who only protest their imprisonment.
It is the clearest possible case of a state atrocity we have before our eyes.
But why do I know he'll never say a word, apart from the fact he is a proven coward?
No, he'll bomb people in Syria for supposedly doing something that very much appears to have never happened.
Why? Because the swell guys shooting hundreds of unarmed Palestinians want it that way.
Does that sound like a fit or even sane way to run the world's affairs?

Yes, yours is an important observation. Trump’s pathetic words are an open invitation to all the mercenary fake-jihadis killing and raping their way through Syria to try the “poison gas” stunt again.
This may even represent a new American approach. Keep the fake gas stunts coming to keep the American attacks going. I am sure he’s under immense pressure from bloody Netanyahu and the Israel Lobby for a lot more killing.
If so, Russia may have to adjust its position in Syria. Already, Russia has referred to the possibility of supplying Syria with the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system, far superior equipment to the Soviet era equipment Syria now uses.
Neither the United States nor Israel are going to like that a bit. Air superiority will definitely be challenged in areas without Russian forces.
