BREAKING: Trump’s Plan: Making Millions of Americans Die for Their Country, Or Is it Israel? We’re Confused

Reports from Syria say that Russian aircraft have already begun to make low level passes at the USS ‘Sitting Duck’, so unless the ship has been completely overhauled with new systems immune to the Russian electronic technology, it is liable to once again be disabled and left floating helplessly, unable to harm anyone.

Does the US Navy think it can succeed this time around, that somehow it’s ships and missiles have become immune to the Russian electronic weapons? 

Perhaps the whole point of this US attack is not whether it succeeds militarily or not, but rather, that it ignites the seemingly inevitable war with Russia, a very real possibility given that the Kremlin is already extremely angry due to the ludicrous Skripal case and the further provocation of the fake gas attack on the civilians of Douma.

Perhaps the US intent is to provoke the Russians into sinking the Donald Cook in order to be able to propagandise the event and turn it into a cassus belli for war – shades of the sinking of the USS Maine and the subsequent Spanish-American War, the Gulf of Tonkin Incident that lead to the Vietnam fiasco or a number of other incidents which lead directly to wars.
