Ron Paul and Donald Trump share much in common. They both have similar bases, have distinct anti-establishment appeal, and reject American involvement in foreign wars. But they don’t necessarily agree on that last point when it comes to Syria.
After Trump made the decision to strike the airfield that launched Bashar al-Assad’s most recent chemical attack, the president claimed that the strike was necessary to protect American interests. Paul doesn’t agree.
In fact, Paul and Trump don’t seem to agree on much of anything when it comes to Syria. While the Trump administration reportedly has video proving that Assad was behind the attack, Paul believes that the mission was a false flag. According to the former congressman, there is “zero chance” that Assad deliberately gassed his own people.

Now they’re going to order more because of the strike. Aren’t they going to rearm again? Also, no evidence gas was kept there. It does matter who used the gas because striking the wrong person could be a disastrous thing. It doesn’t add up. Why would Assad, who is on the verge of winning the civil war, has innocent people to form a coalition against him. He doesn’t need to do that. Therefore the rebels are the ones about to lose. It would make sense for them to try and frame Assad in one last effort for support. The rebels were the ones caught with gas in 2013. The rebels are the ones who side with terrorist. (Al-Nusra) They would be the ones most likely use the gas in an effort to frame Assad.
Ethan Clark Trump said ISIS is his first concern. He will also go after Assad, but on a secondary agenda. Could be he is going after Assad because of his association with Russia and Iran. Not sure since I can’t know Trump’s thoughts on this.
Theresa Winder I agree. Isis should be the number one priority. But why remove Assad. Didn’t he say that Libya and Iraq turned out terribly after their leaders were killed and replaced. Look at those countries now. Both in a civil war which is affecting millions. The Middle East was way more stabilized when Saddam and Gaddafi were in power.
Ethan Clark Well, one thing I do know is that Russia supports Assad-what Russia hopes to gain from this, I don’t know….yet. Assad is fighting ISIS, so one would think he would be our ally, but that may not be the case. That bit of info. could be propoganda. One thing for sure, this has more to do with US/Russia than it does with Syria.
100% chance we grabbed an excuse to send the DPRK a message. Russia has to talk tough about it, but the truth is Turkey and Syria are more expendable than the ROK and Japan.
This guy is a bona fide nut! How do we get these people into Congress
SHUT UP$#%&!@*
You don’t know a thing about it, you should go home and stay and play with your food dehydrator.
I know…lets fly Ron Paul on over to Syria, and let him ASK AROUND the communjty where that attack was made….mind you, no American Security teams, no Military, since he wants to bad mouth America. He can just make a personal goodwill visit, maybe drop by and pay ASSAD a visit, have a man to man chat….why et Paul can just bring Peace to the entire region!
