Saudi Arabia said on Monday that Lebanon had declared war against it because of attacks against the Kingdom by the Lebanese Shi'ite group Hezbollah.

Saudi Gulf affairs minister Thamer al-Sabhan told Al-Arabiya TV that Saad al-Hariri, who announced his resignation as Lebanon's prime minister on Saturday, had been told that acts of "aggression" by Hezbollah "were considered acts of a declaration of war against Saudi Arabia by Lebanon and by the Lebanese Party of the Devil."

Edit: Reuters is saying the same thing word for word.

I wasn't kidding when I said it was basically the same thing. That said, it is a little clickbait-y for what's actually happening and BIG HEADLINE probably has the right of it.

Where were all the cool heads from last night? And now you're all chicken littling over an invasion that may not even start a war with russia, much less a nuclear one?

I, for one, do not think it's entirely unfounded to remain constantly nervous about any and all potential actions undertaken by President McShits Himself now that he's backed by his favorite national security adviser with a gore fetish.

Edit: The White House press secretary just said Trump still hasn't made a final decision about an attack.

I just left off on the note about blaming Syria and Russia for chemical weapons so I'm stuck between unfounded relief and deepening terror.

In any event, I've heard that Russia's taken a hard line and threatened retaliation for missiles fired into Syria. I haven't seen any actual statements about it but I sure hope that's just one massive bluff.

President Trump will meet with Defense Secretary Mattis, says decision on Syria strikes coming 'fairly soon'

quote:

Defense Secretary James Mattis and Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, head to the White House on Thursday afternoon to discuss strike options in Syria with President Donald Trump.

Trump also acknowledged the meeting Thursday, telling reporters a decision on whether the U.S. military will respond to alleged Syrian chemical attacks will be made "fairly soon."

"We're looking very very seriously, very closely at that whole situation and we'll see what happens folks," Trump said.

A source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told CNBC the U.S. was considering striking eight potential targets. Those targets include two Syrian airfields, a research center and a chemical weapons facility.

... okay.

Honestly since the real audience is the US President, dumbing it down like this is probably a good idea though.

I get a sense Trump just doesn’t care about the global implications of his actions. All he cares about is looking like a tough guy domestically.

Like just where the hell do the Iran hawks expect to go with this?

World domination? I don't know, all the tough guy measures that are coming out of the WH seem to be 'sanctions, bigglier and betterer sanctions'. If there's a game plan here it seems to hinge upon Israel going past the point of no return.
