Perhaps as a National Socialist he has something in common with a champagne socialist.

Deluded moron is probably most apt, for at least one of them!

Now there is surprise (not) May looks to avoid parliament and throw around distractions, a very defining moment for her premiership..
PM 'set to act on Syria without MPs' vote'

Bojo has already said he'd be prepared to back Trump and bypass parliament if it was 'urgent'. I don't see it that urgent that May would need to act like this, not when there's three countries planning this. This needs the backing of parliament.

Corbyn would just try to pass a counter-motion to invite Putin over for a cup of tea.

Having a look round to see if there is some valididty to so called conspiray therorists and found this by Former British Ambassador to Syria last year on the BBC.

"mark my words" that Jihadis would be emboldened to launch chemical weapons attacks on civilians to gode the West to attack Assad.

She has a window of opportunity - Parliament returns on Monday and she likely won't have enough votes for military action or it would be very tight plus Trump isn't going to wait around for the UK parliament to debate this. It's a very risky move for May to make. Especially if things go utterly pearshaped - Saudi Arabia vs Iran flares into an open conflict in the region. Syria has by and large been a proxy war for that fight with Putin meddling.

Also what better way to announce to the World that you have Nuclear weapons by using them in response to attack on Syria. I'm one of those who believe the Iranians probably have nuclear weapons but have not as yet tested them or best case they are very close but not quite there.

I have a bad feeling about partaking in Military action in Syria.

Well will Trumps smart new shiny cruise missiles  penetrate the S400 defensive shield. The rest of the world will want to see what happens, and the military providers in America or Russia’s military industry will be getting a large sale bonanza whoever wins this one.

Yeah, I said it, missile strikes by the end of the week. The more worrying aspect is May WILL be approaching parliament for approval of the UKs military involvement,  and if given, it could mean a massive U.K. involvement and more then a day of missile strikes, and that could wind up Russia no end.

Unfortunately he is not telling an untruth. Russian economy really isn’t going well, it is seriously bad. Would I use twitter to make such statements, no ofcourse not. But he is not wrong.
