What will the UK do over Syria - Syria Update 4 - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " Theresa May indicates willingness for military action against Syria...‘Use of chemical weapons cannot go unchallenged,’ PM says, as Corbyn calls for Commons vote on any further action "

Lets Get Real:

The UK has to be part of any allied attack on Syria, if the Trump Oval can not trust the UK and needs France then the UK is in a lot more trouble than this blog thought.   The ghost of Iraq hangs over any British foreign policy when it comes to action, in 2013 the Coalition Government failed to get the House of Commons to support action when it came to Syria, that can not be allowed to happen again.  The PM should act like Lady Thatcher, take the lead, the voters like a strong leader, the musings of Jeremy Corbyn should not worry the PM or the House of Commons. 

Trump and those Missiles for Syria - Syria Update 3 - Trump Era

Daily Mail: Reports " 'Get ready Russia,' the 'missiles are coming': Trump makes terrifying Twitter threat to Putin and 'gas killing animal' Assad after Kremlin vows to shoot down any missiles fired at Syria and attack U.S. ships – and Trump blames 'bad blood' on Mueller probe  "

Lets Get Real:

It is ironic that President Trump is declaring that missiles will come as he was critical of the Obama Administration when it mused on action, in the past Trump stated that he would never tell someone he was going to strike.   Well the recent tweet shows what happens when you become POTUS, he might considering sending a sorry tweet to President Obama.   The Allied action should be big enough to teach Assad a lesson, but not allow things to get out of control, no World War 3 over Syria thank you.  The US, UK and France need to send a  big and clear message to Assad and Putin, no more chemical attacks, as you have won already!

Russians are COMING!! - Syrian Update 2 - Trump Era

Sky News - Live Reporting: Reports in its 3.25pm post the following, " AP: Russian military will be deployed to the Syrian town of Douma, site of the suspect chemical weapons attack, from Thursday. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus Russians will cover up any chemicals in the locality, the Russian Bear can not be trusted.  The Russians really do believe that the West is weak and self centered, thus only reason for their actions.   Putin's Russia has destroyed democracy in Russia, the power is at the centre, President Putin decides what happens in Russia, and he thinks he has the West by the tail, that any action will be weak and will not last long.  Trump's America is consumed by the Russian probe, while UK politics is about Brexit, and in France the new President faces challenges to reform agenda.   The West has to keep some focus on Syria after the missile strikes, otherwise it is pointless. 

Missiles are Coming - TRUMP - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has tweeted that Russia should "get ready" for missiles to be fired at its ally Syria, in response to an alleged chemical attack near Damascus on Saturday. "

Lets Get Real:

The missiles when they are fired will not be a surprise to either the Assad Regime or to Russia.    It will be interesting to see who joins the battle, of course there will be the US and France, what will the UK do, one does hope that May shows some leadership and uses the power of the Queen to join her allies.   Sometimes the people want the leaders to lead, then they will come to the water, in other words, forced to accept the reality of action, think Churchill 1940, the elite did not want to go to WAR and the working class had gone through World War one, but Churchill lead and saved West we know today.  One hopes the Russians do not overplay their hand, we do not want to see World War 3.
