Well, it's Damascus, what do you expect?
n/a LurkMcGurck 2017-04-27
Israel? According to the tweets at least
n/a Yoski33 2017-04-27
Thats what I've read too. Only source is Twitter right now.

Nice work, OP.
I linked to this thread from my thread which is stickied.

Thanks!!

If so, and if they hit Assad's controlled areas, it's on. That gives Syria the excuse to retaliate, and it will rally other ME nations to fight against them.
n/a nitmotilo 2017-04-27
Which ME nations do you expect to fight against Israel? Half of them are allied with Israel.
n/a ShellInTheGhost 2017-04-27
I thought I saw on twitter somewhere that they were Israeli airstrikes.
n/a The_Veracity_Sector 2017-04-27
Ok. So, Today I hear Russia had moved out 50% (or something) of their air force and now Israel pulls this shit??
If this is true we are about to figure out more about this puzzle.
n/a YateHihudis 2017-04-27
We won't figure out anything.
Even if (((greatest ally))) was responsible, we all know that isis will take responsibility to prove how 'able' they are.
And if for some reason they are actually behind this and confirm it themselves, no one will bat an eye.
Assad will be replaced. isis will either keep on moving or fade away and a new terrorist group might appear later. Next stop, Iran or North Korea.

Damn nigga you all illuminated and stuff. Good post.
n/a guyguy157284 2017-04-27
what the hell is going on with this, why do they kill innocent people. i think a god that created those people doesn't want them to be killed. their religion does not make sense.
n/a YaBoyVolke 2017-04-27
God is not real. Religion is a form of control.
n/a Putin_loves_cats 2017-04-27
The Creator(s) is very much really. Religion may be a form of control, but so is atheism.

I am aware. The first creators however, are now dead. Which is a good thing. They are responsible for the way "life" is at the moment. Abusive. Things will get better after Arae finishes his current and last life here on earth.
n/a CallMeDende 2017-04-27
Well a good amount of the community was expecting something to happen today and I think we just got it.
n/a Yoski33 2017-04-27
Will do.
n/a Spider__Jerusalem 2017-04-27
But it isn't the 26th in Israel right now. It's the 27th.
n/a pixelbomb2 2017-04-27
Who cares? Gotham Shield is a 4 day long event.
n/a Spider__Jerusalem 2017-04-27
You care.
n/a pixelbomb2 2017-04-27
I just mean we're way too focused on "the 26th".
n/a Fuckaduckfuckaduck 2017-04-27
Yep. If Israel attacked Assad controlled installations, shit could get ugly quick. Kinda makes all of the drills today make more sense.
Maybe the Senate and House meetings were; "uhh, so guys and gals, Israel is gonna start some shit tonight, mmkay?".

looks like its been in bad shape for a while. what constitutes "Destroyed" i wonder.
n/a comisohigh 2017-04-27
The city of Damascus will become a heap of ruins, utterly destroyed. Few, if any, buildings will be left standing. The once great city will be devoid of human life and will become home to all manner of wildlife in the absence of humans to chase them away.
n/a krazeesheet 2017-04-27
this.
n/a zippityd0dah 2017-04-27
Nothing on MSM anywhere mentioning it yet. Twitter seems to be the best source for any info right now.
n/a Doolimite 2017-04-27
Because this is fake news , sigh
n/a Doolimite 2017-04-27
Reuters is reporting this now so perhaps I stand corrected
n/a tehNOViCE 2017-04-27
Haven't seen anything hit the wire... Keep us updated OP.

Zerohedge is talking about explosions.

Was just about to add this! Thanks!
n/a AwakenedIthink 2017-04-27
They need Syria for their greater Israel plan.
n/a AIsuicide 2017-04-27
I'm sure it has nothing to do with France saying the Sarin gas sample matched a sample from a 2013 attack.
n/a Granite66 2017-04-27
Hope no Russians were killed. People don't understand how Syria is bringing us close to WWIII. http://yournewswire.com/putin-israel-leave-syrian-airspace/
n/a Yoski33 2017-04-27
Agreed. However, the Iranian could have possibly been staged there.
n/a Granite66 2017-04-27
Practice for Iran then. Wonder how USA would react if another country invaded Mexico? Same with Russia and Iran.
n/a Yoski33 2017-04-27
Interesting scenario to evaluate.
n/a Granite66 2017-04-27
Yep
n/a tehNOViCE 2017-04-27
The last time that Israel attacked Syria, Russia did nothing...Unless things have changed, I expect the same outcome.
n/a Yoski33 2017-04-27
This is the second time this week, yea?
n/a tehNOViCE 2017-04-27
It sure does look that way...I'm not sure though just how long we can expect Russia to just let it slide. I wonder...and I'm only wondering as I sit here numbing the pain that surely Assad won't have much more of this and might pressure Russia into go at this.
Of course, it brings up a very interesting conversation as that the USA is ready to go at any minute for anything, even if it is just a quick little bout over in the Middle East...even if it's just going to take a couple of days to get it take care of.
Of course...we tensions growing with North Korea, and Putin maybe saying, fuck this...what better time for the old Bear to rise up and say, "Let's fucking go."
n/a Yoski33 2017-04-27
Honestly, how everyone is staged up right now, anything can happen. I want to say Syria and NK have been working with each other. Since Syria is pretty much surrounded, NK would have the only shot at the US. If we knew Israel was going to hit Syria tonight (possible what the briefings were about today at the WH) maybe the US is expecting NK to try something? So we stage up around them just in case?
n/a tehNOViCE 2017-04-27
You bring up a good point, it could be that they are working together in some way, maybe to lure the US into Syria as a distraction since Syria is probably lost at the moment...especially if Russia doesn't intervene, what better time for Korea to take a shot at the US.
It is quite something to think about, but maybe it's nothing, only time will tell. Of course, I think we have our tinfoil hats on...but like everyday I kiss my kids goodnight, and hug them in the morning when light breaks and we have to go about our day.
Honestly at the end of the day, not sure what we can expect for other countries to really do to the US...they can try to do some damage, and they possibly can, but for them, it's probably at that time a road that ends; of no return.

I'm with ya. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, right? At this point we have zero control all we can do is gather as much credible information as we can and fill people in around us.
