All the cool and popular kids are bombing Syria these days, so the less cool kids want to be involved as well.
France hasn't bombed Syria since it was cool more than two generations ago. They are teaming up with the less than cool Saudis.
I'm not sure this is 100% true, but it sounds believable.
"Last war in the history of mankind", that's what Evgeny Buzhinsky, a former senior Russian general has warned could happen over this latest false flag chemical attack and the subsequent illegal bombing in Syria by one of Amerika's proxies, Israel. (see Below)

Veterans Today has a shocking article with photographs asserting that when Syrian forces discovered the chemical weapons cache and factory in the rebel-held area near Damascus recently, chemical weapons were found with British and German labeling, among others.
Another week speeds by as spring (or fall in the really deep south) unfolds. This week it strikes me how easily we are distracted from understanding our world and situation. Some things seem so obvious. The oligarchs no longer make a secret of their domination. Just a glance at Brazil should make us aware (not to mention Venezuela nor Honduras....or even our own territory of Puerto Rico). The rush to create Russia as an enemy is obscenely obvious as diplomats are expelled across the globe without a shred of evidence. Truthsayers are silenced... Assange blocked from the internet in the embassy and Snowden is exiled to Russia. But like emerging seeds teachers are rising up across our country, students are speaking out, and movements are growing. It is time to escape the bonds of commercial corporate media and help people understand our common condition.
Technically Congress is the one with the power to say where our troops go and where they don't.
But that stopped being true several generations ago.
In place of Congress, the Commander-In-Chief gives the orders to the troops.
There was a time in the not so distant past when a military was judged by its ability to win wars and defeat enemies. In fact, all throughout history, until very recently, that was the only measure of a military.
During most of history, a general who lost the war then had his head removed from his shoulders.
Despite Mattis, Kelly, and now Bolton, DJT is starting to sound a little like a peacenik (note, I said "a little like").
Here is the brief announcement from a press conference. Make of this what you will. I expect answers ranging from BullShit to 9th dimensional chess. Okay, Swampers, let's have at it.
2 US-led coalition troops killed & 5 wounded in IED attack in #Syria.
It didn't get much attention at the time, but a week ago, right after warmonger Nikki Haley threatened to bomb Syria, Russia warned of retaliation against U.S. forces if that happened.
