trump's security adviser asks Russia to 're-think' their support of Assad; the Lord put it on my heart to say Russia Stand Your Ground! God is getting ready to destroy these vermin so you have naught to fear!!!
So nobody should stand up to the mighty whiteys in the U.S. no matter what wrong they do. We thought this was a civil war in Syria; why is the U.S. so concerned about it. I thought they said they were there fighting Isis; all of a sudden they turned towards fighting Assad. That's the lie they told us; they were there to fight ISIS! Now who is isis, are they the enemy or Assad. God is going to destroy these vermin and they just proved isis is one of their creations for I had been hearing from other Arabs that isis stood for israili secret intelligence service. Now we can believe them.
The face of evil.
Re-think? Is that a veiled threat? More commercial airliners full of civilians shot down; more bombs in the subway; more ambassadors in other countries murdered?

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s national security
adviser is calling on Russia to re-evaluate its support for Syrian
President Bashar Assad, leaving open the possibility of additional U.S.
military action against Syria.
In his first televised interview, H.R. McMaster pointed to dual U.S.
goals of defeating the Islamic State group and removing Assad from
power. As Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was making the Trump
administration’s first official trip this week to Russia, McMaster said
Russia will have to decide whether it wanted to continue backing a
“murderous regime.” Trump is weighing next steps after ordering
airstrikes last week.
“It’s very difficult to understand how a political solution could
result from the continuation of the Assad regime,” McMaster said on “Fox
News Sunday.”
“Now, we are not saying that we are the ones who are going to effect
that change. What we are saying is, other countries have to ask
themselves some hard questions. Russia should ask themselves … Why are
we supporting this murderous regime that is committing mass murder of
its own population?”
He said Russia should also be asked how it didn’t know that Syria was
planning a chemical attack since it had advisers at the Syrian
airfield.
“Right now, I think everyone in the world sees Russia as part of the problem,” McMaster said.
After last Tuesday’s chemical attack in Syria, Trump said his
attitude toward Assad “has changed very much” and Tillerson said “steps
are underway” to organize a coalition to remove him from power.
But as lawmakers called on Trump to consult with Congress, Trump
administration officials sent mixed signals on the scope of future U.S.
involvement. While Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United
Nations, described regime change in Syria as a U.S. priority and
inevitable, Tillerson suggested that last week’s American airstrikes in
retaliation for the chemical attack hadn’t really changed U.S.
priorities toward ousting Assad.
Pressed to clarify, McMaster said the goals of fighting IS and
ousting Syria’s president were somewhat “simultaneous” and that the
objective of the missile strike was to send a “strong political message
to Assad” to stop using chemical weapons. He did not rule out additional
strikes if Assad continued to engage in atrocities against rebel forces
with either chemical or conventional weapons.
“We are prepared to do more,” he said. “The president will make
whatever decision he thinks is in the best interest of the American
people.”
Reluctant to put significant troops on the ground in Syria, the U.S.
for years has struggled to prevent Assad from strengthening his hold on
power.
U.S.-backed rebels groups have long pleaded for more U.S.
intervention and complained that Washington has only fought the Islamic
State group. So Trump’s decision to launch the strikes — an action
President Barack Obama declined to take after a 2013 chemical attack —
has raised optimism among rebels that Trump will more directly confront
Assad.
Several lawmakers said Sunday that decision shouldn’t entirely be up to Trump.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate,
praised Trump’s initial missile strike for sending a message to Assad,
Russia, Iran and North Korea that “there’s a new administration in
charge.” But he said Trump now needed to work with Congress to set a
future course.
“Congress needs to work with the president to try and deal with this
long-term strategy, lack of strategy, really, in Syria,” he said. “We
haven’t had one for six years during the Obama administration, and
400,000 civilians have died and millions of people have been displaced
internally and externally in Europe and elsewhere.”
Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Foreign
Relations Committee, agreed. “What we saw was a reaction to the use of
chemical weapons, something I think many of us supported,” he said. “But
what we did not see is a coherent policy on how we’re going to deal
with the civil war and also deal with ISIS.”
Still, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he believed that Trump didn’t need to consult with Congress.
“I think the president has authorization to use force,” he said.
“Assad signed the chemical weapons treaty ban. There’s an agreement with
him not to use chemical weapons.”
Their comments came as Tillerson planned to meet with Russian
officials. Russia had its own military personnel at the Syrian military
airport that the U.S. struck with cruise missiles. But in interviews
broadcast Sunday, Tillerson said he sees no reason for retaliation from
Moscow because Russia wasn’t targeted.
“We do not have any information that suggests that Russia was part of
the military attack undertaken using the chemical weapons,” Tillerson
said. Earlier, U.S. military officials had said they were looking into
whether Russia participated, possibly by using a drone to help eliminate
evidence afterward.
Tillerson said defeating the Islamic State group remains the top
focus. Once that threat “has been reduced or eliminated, I think we can
turn our attention directly to stabilizing the situation in Syria,” he
said.
“We’re hopeful that we can prevent a continuation of the civil war
and that we can bring the parties to the table to begin the process of
political discussions” between the Assad government and various rebel
groups, he said.
Haley said “getting Assad out is not the only priority” and that
countering Iran’s influence in Syria was another. Still, Haley said the
U.S. didn’t see a peaceful future for Syria with Assad in power.
McMaster, Cornyn and Cardin spoke on “Fox News Sunday,” Tillerson
appeared on ABC’s “This Week” and CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Haley and
Graham were on NBC’s “Meet the Press” and Haley also appeared on CNN’s
“State of the Union.”
Russia issued their decision with a statement from the Kremlin with Iran and Syria! Way to go! Show no amount of intimidation will scare you or dissuade you from fighting evil!!!
Update
The Lord did say if you resist satan he will flee from you! They don't mention Russia or Syria no more. They like a weak victim they can terrorize and Oppress. Like their American constituents which they have deprived of healthcare now. Now they get all the healthcare they need no matter what it costs, but they don't want the average American to be able to get proper much needed healthcare. Soon they'll have a fight in this country, and won't be able to go to other countries exporting death and misery! They'll be making a run for other countries to escape. God is tearing them down and the new king will hunt them down lest they make a clean break now! He'll leave them alone who leave this country now, otherwise their fate will be in their own hands! God Wills it, so it shall be done.
