Anler Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 < Older Pompeo Slaps On Major Russia Sanctions...Over Unproven UK Poisoning! written by daniel mcadams thursday august 9, 2018 Is Pompeo launching a coup against his boss? By kicking in sanctions on Russia - invoking a 1991 US law on chemical weapons - the US State Department is further poisoning President Trump's efforts to improve relations with his Russian counterpart. If President Trump refuses to enforce the sanctions, he will hand a political gift to Democrats who believe their election fortunes in November rest on endlessly screaming "Russia, Russia, Russia." And what are these new sanctions all about? The totally unproven, full-of-holes claims that the Russian government was behind the Skripal "poisoning" in the UK in March.

Zambroski Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I was watching a bit of it but only half paying attention, they sounded pretty tough. Not sure I agree this is necessary. Pompeo is a glory war hound. Probably gonna send them California’s supply of plastic straws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always felt like the anti Russia theme was about their "meddling" in Syria. That mess should have been over years ago and now it looks like Syrian forces with the help of Iran and Russia have beaten the terrorists pretty much out. There was even some US and Israeli air strikes against Iranian and Russian positions as kind of an attempt to get them to counter strike. I think that is pissing off the Freedom coalition more than anything. So they make up some shit about Russia influencing the election to drum up outrage. How ironic would it be if it was in fact the dems that push for military action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt in what’s left in my military mind that we would be knee deep in the SNAFU Syria debacle if she was in house. ZERO DOUBT.

That ruling hinges on there being evidence it was an act compelled by the state and not individuals. Evidence against Russia is scarce everytime they are accused of shit.
