Trump meets with Jordan's King Abdullah II, then a ship with military vehicles lands in Aqaba shortly thereafter.

There is another unconfirmed comment I've read which says this group when into Syria with 20 military vehicles. My guess is this is a resupply for the FSA.
This also suggests that Trump's response to the Syrian "gas" attack was pre-calculated and waiting for an event to kick start. While we've been supplying and supporting the YPG (Kurds) in Northern Syria and Iraq, this is the first time I'm aware of the possibility of direct support to the FSA.
All while a carrier group steams towards N. Korea in a display of military dick measurement.

I'll swear he did! How much havoc can he create while congress is at home? We will be involved in a war before McTurtle has time to say, "At least we got Gorsuch..."

(24,324 posts)8. But who decides? And who among the military brass are willing to do what whomever tells them.
And more of interest, who among the brass would refuse??.

but the military is asked how to carry it out.
