Trump’s emphatic statement: “THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT,” he added. “THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!”

One could argue that Obama utterly failed in making the Middle East “his/our” fight and that he intentionally promoted a Muslim Brotherhood caliphate (he had Muslim Brotherhood staff in his White House!) to elevate radical Islamists to the United Arab States…a vision Obama held to be on equal par with the United States. Publicly, Obama promoted “democracy” as our reason to meddle in Middle Eastern affairs…but covertly the goal was anything but democracy.

It is not our fight…Our fight is in our own homeland. Securing our borders. Restoring economic prosperity for our citizens. Eliminating the Federal Department of Educational Indoctrination. Cleaning up the nightmare of unelected bureaucratic rule. And most importantly, restoring our country as a channel for God radiating Light to the world…a position we were gifted with our Constitution and have nearly defaulted on through the infiltration of warped Marxist ideology.

Thank you Badlands!!! I could hardly wait for today’s Takes 🙏❤️🕊🕊

Same here, when I heard over the weekend that Syria had fell I was wondering what I would find this morning in the brief. I wasn’t disappointed.

Obama's problem is that he still thinks he is "the It Girl" - the hottest thing of the moment. The guy just does not get that he doesn't carry the juice he once did, so when he goes off with his nose in the air, it is annoying. It always was, but he can't get away with it like he did in the past. My niece snd nephews were 5 and 8 when he took office. They all just voted a month ago. He is an old man in their eyes.

I must say you are quite the diplomat, calling Obama, a man.

Thank you Ashe, BB and GBPH for your insights!

It is always important to have a set of values that are only indirectly impacted by the winds and waves of popular opinion. Though, having said that - I readily admit that it is difficult to do. It requires admitting that one is wrong, that the values were misapplied or that deeper truths can - at the moment - appear to cause conflicts of consistency.

When I stand firm on the belief that our loving Creator has no favorites (though He does have standards) and that He has desired from the beginning that all nations, people, tribes and languages experience blessing - though the choice remains our own - I am less emotional and more deliberate as to how I respond to circumstances: today I decided to PRAY!

Prayer is always the best additive. I pray that someday I will understand truthfully, what was meant when it was said, Jacob have I loved, and Esau have I hated.

I have thoughts but respect the need to discover the meanings of that "oracle".

One help that I draw from, that I will share, is the purpose of each writing - for example both Malachi and Romans have very specific audiences and very specific implications.

HGV, I concur completely and add that there are many in this time that God has obviously gifted for their role as He has throughout history.🙏

Thanks for starting a new week with y'all's Takes. It is really getting crazy out here.

I think the movie "Wag the Dog" is what we are seeing in the World today. And as BB often points out We the People win because we have the Better Story tellers because we have the Truth on our side.

What an amazing time to be alive... Biblical!

God Wins!

God Bless!!!

—‘Save Israel for last’ immediately came to mind when I first read about Syria. As Ghost has stated, ‘This is why Lavrov is considered one of the great diplomats of this era—he always knows how to take the high road.’ I concur completely with his assessment of Lavrov.

—What a story we will be able to tell our children and grandchildren! God has not gifted these ‘men of renown’ around the world to fail. The increasingly public revelation of this narrative war demonstrates it’s truly between good (sovereign alliance) and evil (the western Nazi filled hegemony). It’s coming to a head (scare event?)

—This administration is illegitimate; the discourse about the pardons must be an awakening approach as the ‘pardons’ are illegitimate, too. Crimes against children, crimes against humanity are not pardonable.

—Israel has always been part of the intelligence apparatus, always been part of the terrorist groups that the intelligence apparatus created. It’s never been what is stated publicly. As Joe Lange has repeatedly noted in his posts, ‘It’s all connected.’ BB: I had the exact same thought about Netanyahu, ‘Bibi is taking credit for something he probably shouldn't.’

—Obama. Projection reveals his concern about our progress. Think how much money it cost Al Waleed and the cabal masters to put this Manchurian man in place….

—France, Ukraine, Canada, Mexico….much apparently has been happening out of the public eye.🧐

God bless those you’ve gifted for this time.🙏🙏

You guys laid out the Syria situation beautifully. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s enough. There are still too many people who are unwilling to accept that certain players are not our ally, and the only interests they are looking out for are their own. you have to wonder, will Trump’s return be in time. The truth that this is accelerating experientially is an understatement.

I consider that this is leading to the ‘scare event’ that could happen prior to Jan 20…🧐

What a wild world. Round and round and round it goes, like a centrifuge, revealing one evil pathological intrigue after another. Bath House Barry's arrogance is always amusing. He lives in a bubble filled with the gas of his own ego. And poor Humpty Dumpty is thwarted by a scheduling conflict? That lie means his production crew was unable to put him back together again after his latest fall in Africa. Hahaha. MAGA.

How Obama Could Be Blamed for the Fall of Syria

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2024/12/08/trump-blames-obama-for-syria-conflict-n2648765

President-elect Donald Trump is blaming former President Obama for the current conflict in Syria, in which the Syrian government fell after Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and rebel forces seized control of Damascus, prompting Syrian President Bashar Assad, his wife, and his three children to flee Syria on Saturday.

Trump accused Obama of failing to intervene in the 2013 conflict when the Syrian government used chemical weapons as a form of attack. Obama had said that was the “red line” that would have moved the U.S. to get involved.

“Russia, because they are so tied up in Ukraine, and with the loss there of over 600,000 soldiers, seems incapable of stopping this literal march through Syria, a country they have protected for years,” Trump wrote on X. “This is where former President Obama refused to honor his commitment of protecting the RED LINE IN THE SAND, and all hell broke out, with Russia stepping in…never much of a benefit in Syria for Russia, other than to make Obama look really stupid.”

Critics say that Obama’s involvement in Syria was one of significant indecisiveness, weakness, and missed opportunities. They say the former president contributed to the prolonged conflict in the region— most notably the “red line.”

In 2012, Obama backed down after setting a “red line” regarding the use of chemical weapons in dictator Assad’s regime. He warned that such an attack would be a “game changer” and result in U.S. military intervention. A year later, Assad used chemical weapons against civilians in his country.

Obama called the shots all along at the bidding of his masters. He has played the key role all along…at least until the alliance began cutting the strings of his puppet masters….

Expand full comment

I recall when that occurred there was also some controversy over whether it was Assad or another actor who actually launched that chemical attack. In the conspiracy circles, this was a hot topic. Let's just say it was a pretty odd circumstance that Obama warns of the "red line" and then, 1 or 2 weeks later, Assad gasses his own people?

It wreaked of the same stench that celebrating Qaddafi's murder smelt of: "We came. We saw. He died. HAHAHAHA!!" - HRC.

Yes I never believed Assad did that.

Politics aside, this might be a good time to review what the LORD has said concerning Israel in Ezekiel 37-39.

That land and Jerusalem is really the center of the world, and all that is happening therein.

Just saying.

This is why the plan leaves Israel for last. It has NEVER been what it publicly projected….never, from the very beginning.
