CNN, the world leader in hard hitting, real news (do you sense any irony?), has produced this stupendous report from a refugee camp in Northern Syria, with people it says “survived” the “chemical attack” in Douma earlier this month.
The US, Britain and France alleged Syrian President Bashar al-Assad pointlessly attacked his own people in Douma with sarin nerve agent, prompting the three nations to launch air strikes on Syria on the night of April 13-14th.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has not spoken to the western press since the alleged chemical attack in Douma and subsequent western bombing of his country.

Popular shock jock Alex Jones is definitely off the Trump train.
In a profanity-laden outburst which was apparently streamed live over the internet, Jones castigated Trump and his Neocon Globalist-dominated cabinet for military strikes launched against the Syrian government on the night of April 13th-14th.
In the video, Jones can be seen decrying the US betrayal of Bashar al-Assad’s government, who alongside Russian and Iranian allies have largely eradicated Islamic State terrorists from the country.
