Donald Trump has such little credibility that even Israel to
whom Trump has sworn undying support and allegiance is saying, no thanks, we
prefer to go it alone. It’s easy to understand why.
As reported on Morning Joe,[1] Trump is underwater in
trying to get anything done whether overseas or at home. The world reads these
numbers. Our enemies rejoice and our friends tremble.

And why is Trump’s credibility so low?
Too many wishy-washy episodes like his dealing with
Syria. Today, Trump “calls on all civilized nations to join the U.S. in seeking
an end to the slaughter in Syria. However, he hopes you have forgotten that in 2013,
when Syria used chemical gas against its rebel citizens, Trump lambasted Obama
for wanting to get involved saying:
Syria is
not our problem
We should stay the hell out of Syria. What will we get for our lives and $ billions? ZERO
What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a long term conflict
We should stay the hell out of Syria. What will we get for our lives and $ billions? ZERO
What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a long term conflict
If Obama attacks Syria and innocent
citizens are killed, he and US will look very bad.
What I am saying is stay out of Syria
At least three time in May, 2013, he
said, Do NOT attack Syria.
“Forget Syria.” Over
and over again Trump announced his total opposition to any US involvement in
Syria. Yet, today, he looks at the
horrendous Assad attack on unarmed men, women and children and Trump has the
audacity to put the blame on Obama because he did not send troops into Syria four
years ago. Bottom line:
2013: Trump
says US should stay out of Syria
2017:
Trump says US should have sent troops to Syria[2]
Yet, nothing boosts a president’s ratings so much as a
war and he knows it.
Wait a minute, some reader is thinking about now; I
thought this was a blog about Israel/Palestine, and you are right. So, let’s
get to the point.
In February, Trump asked Benjamin Netanyahu to “hold off
on settlement building.” He was speaking as the president of the United States,
the number one backer and financier of Israel. But, Netanyahu reads the numbers
on Trump and says the heck with him, he has no clout. So, Israel continues with
its settlement building, apartheid laws, ethnic cleansing, brutal occupation,
check points, walls, barbaric treatment of Palestinians, putting children in
Israeli prisons, stealing water and thumbing its nose at human rights…and
Donald Trump.

Just to point out that Syria did NOT use chemical weapons; not now nor back in 2013.
ReplyDeleteToo bad you have your facts wrong on Syria. It has never used chemical weapons against its citizens. Even the UN investigator reported that Syria was not responsible for the 2013 chemical attack...and in this case there has been NO investigation....just allegations by the same folks who brought you WMD in Iraq as the premise for killing millions of people and destroying a country. Are you going to believe them this time?
ReplyDeleteYes agree with the 2 comments above. It wasnt Syria who used chemical weapons.
ReplyDeleteAssad has never used sarin gas or attacked his people.
ReplyDeleteHowever, USA's and Israel's Al Qaeda backed butcher have, as UN's Carla Del Ponte concluded and numerous official reports and witness accounts have confirmed.
Are you too so brainwashed that you cannot but parrot the neocon propaganda lies?
I like to read your blog, but to suggest that Assad is guilty, is borderline retarded.
