Syria is a nasty place. A place riddled with civil war. In 2011 many protesters lead by the unofficial spokesperson Suhair Atassi (a recently released politician at the time) were calling for the resignation of the then and now president of Syria Bashar al-Assad. Sure enough, as the protesters became more numbersome and their message began to reach several large cities in the region, the government responding with a harsh security clampdown and military operations in several of the districts. People were being abused, arrested and killed.

The military action apparently wasn’t enough…

The protests and civil war continued and then in the early hours of 08-21-2013 in Ghouta a suburb around Damascus, multiple rockets struck the countryside containing the deadly nerve agent Sarin.

Now Sarin is some deadly stuff. A highly toxic synthetic compound that is colorless and odorless. It is extremely lethal, even in tiny concentrations. It causes the muscles in your lungs to shut down due to paralysis, and essentially you suffocate. People who take in a non-lethal amount will suffer permanent neurological damage.

The shit is so deadly in fact that the production and stockpiling of Sarin was outlawed in 1997 by the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993. So if you control any of the substance, you can get your ass blown up with missiles, like in the Iraqi disarmament of 1994.

Now, as nasty as this shit is, it was meant to be kept off the battlefield. Where grown ass men who are ready to die for their country fight it out in all out warfare, but this sick shit Al-Assad was dropping the stuff on innocent men, woman and children. 

Now while we are all over here bitching about safe spaces, minimum wage, and which Kardashian is pregnant again. A psycho is gassing his own people…

I don’t care who’s dumbass is in office, dumbass Bush, dumbass Clinton, dumbass Bush Jr, dumbass Obama or dumbass Trump. When innocent people are being killed for the “lulz,” something must be done about it.

I understand we all have different political views and ways of handling things. Some people are patient and have nothing but peace to achieve in all debates and negotiations.

But how the hell are you gonna reason with someone who gasses babies?

Obviously they speak the language of killing and death, so there is only one thing they understand with a brutal mindset like that. Actions speak louder than words, period.

On Sunday (04-08-2018) it happened again. In Douma, the last rebel held enclave located near Damascus. Government forces had been fighting to gain control of the town for days leading up to the attack. When the attack occurred the Syrian Army barricaded the town and put it on lockdown so any outside emergency assistance couldn’t enter to help.

At least 42 deaths have been confirmed, but as many as 80 have also been reported. Many of these reports confirmed woman and children were the majority killed.

At the time of the attacks Trump tweeted:

“Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price to pay. Open area immediately for medical help and verification. Another humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever. SICK!” 

Now, it sounds to me like Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian army needs 1200mg of Freedom, stat! And that is exactly what they are getting. Friday (04-13-2018) the US military with allied forces in France and the UK, sent more than 100 missile attacks straight in the heart of Syria’s chemical weapons network reported by the Pentagons Joint Staff Director Lt. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie.

Good. Go get em boys! Blow all that shit up.

This is a touchy situation because Syria is very close allies with Russia. I mean, I don’t really know who wants to be associated with this kind of crap. But having an all-out war is probably a bad idea. We also can’t have psycho dictators gassing unarmed families. Again, it’s touchy.

Obviously not everyone agrees with me. Which side are you on?
