Exactly. We have a man-child in office surrounded by a team of amateurs and yes men.

How the hell is he always there?
How the fuck is he there especially right now? Fuck me...
The Kremlin already said after the chemical attack that their alliance with Assad wasn't unconditional.
That's macabre but not crazy to me.
ISIS gets support from Saudi Arabia, and they've used sarin before.
There's been no official reports from any reliable third party as to responsibility.
Assad understood the consequences and willingly surrendered stockpiles after the 2013 chemical attack.
US wanted regime change. They're going after it.
When it comes to the Middle-East, the US encourages conflict to get what it wants.
Yeah, I'm fine with taking out his means of doing something like this again.
How are you able to sleep at night?
Look, I know the US (and our Australian airforce as well) have been launching strikes in Syria against, but that was against the 'militant rebels', not the Syrian government forces(hell, there was a minor shitstorm over a botched bombing that killed Syrian army personnel last year)
So to turn around and start bombing the Syrians...well, how is it not an act of war?
Yeah, we've all been playing fast and loose with the terminology of military engagements.
he should just move the White House there

Don't bother. There are a ton of posts on it, they all think this is a false flag thing. They are pissed because they think they got dragged into a false war. The alt right also wants good relations with Asad because he kills ISIS.
As much as Assad needs to go, that piece of shit needs to be dealt with by powers local to that region, US interference will only energise Terrorists and any fence sitters, especially if it's a known Islamaphobe like Trump. Have they not learned anything from Iraq/Afghan war.
THERE WILL BE MORE REFUGEES if this escalates, more tragedies of human suffering, EU will need to open it's doors once again.
God damn this man doesn't have an ounce of wisdom or forethought.

Hillary called for strikes today.

I would also like to put in a word to remain calm and think of this in the context of the past several years. It's not like this is the first time we've bombed Syria.
How are these 70 missiles significantly different than the 12,192 from last year? Do the targets make the difference? The intent? How much does it really matter?

Yea I just hope it's the correct people that pay. Assad cant be allowed to use chemical weapons with impunity.

Yeah not like there are innocent people that live there...
Let's hold the president to a higher standard then "oops he fucked up" because he fucked up, and is the god damn president.
Exactly. Trump is a moron, but that is beside the point. Check that, it actually makes it worse.
Hey Scott Adams, time to eat some ass.

Ahrar al-Sham, also known as Harakat Ahrar al-Sham al-Islamiyya, or the Islamic Movement of the Free Men of the Levant, is a Sunni Salafist militant group operating in Syria that aims to replace the Assad Regime with an Islamic government

If Tillerson hadn't come out and said the US no longer has a position on what happens to Assad in Syria these strikes may never have even happened.
Those strikes have been seen in many quarters as a test of the US following that statement.
The POTUS matters. The Secretary of State and a staffed State Department matters. Well known policies matter.
Probably along the lines of hey dudes, you have any equipment or personnel or airbase?
If no, cool, thanks, hit launch button.
If yes, ok you have x amount of time to move them out. If we see movement on anything we know is definitively Syrian you're fucked too. Have a nice day.

Hillary would have wanted to work with other countries to do this, though? She likely wouldn't have favored unilateral action.

So to make the Syrian government pay for gassing its own citizens...you want to turn the country to glass
Makes sense
Assad can't do anything. Everyone is just worried about Russia.

So if any Russians are caught in the crossfire, what's the over/under on WW3 vs Putin just dropping the pee tape?

Who had 75 days on the "how long until Trump leads us into war?" pool?
Then how should the killing of 200 civilians in Mosul be responded to?
If you think this action is some sort of false flag to get Assad out, you're sorely mistaken. And please, if you actually think Assad got rid of all of his chemical weapons, you're wrong as well.

If this was Hillary in office she would have done the same thing
I don't think you could sit there as the president, look at those pictures from that attack and do.............nothing.
You don't unsee stuff like that...
He hit airfields so the planes can't take off, I'm ok with that, when I first saw the thread I thought the worst and he was just throwing them around any old way.
Yeah that's a 70 million dollars worth of explosives but I mean come on....Gassing people, you don't go unpunished for gassing people, you guys want to talk about nazi level evil, thats Assad

This is like a bay of pigs, only with an idiot who won't know what happened at the helm instead of JFK.
I don't care if you THINK HRC would have done this, she didn't because she isn't president. Stop even mentioning her, republicans would have slaughtered her anyway for doing this.

This is very interesting, had no clue, thanks for sharing.I would also like to put in a word to remain calm and think of this in the context of the past several years. It's not like this is the first time we've bombed Syria.

Welcome to post modernity.
Hell I'm worried about Iran too.

I'm wondering what the difference is, myself.
Well, Tillerson did mention an international coalition.
Yeah, it would have been more like Libya, a coalition with NATO.
More reading on the Libya situation in hindsight: Everyone says the Libya intervention was a failure. Theyre wrong.
He could gas more civilians.

Exactly, vote for Trump cause he would never do that.
Oh fuck that. We should take out Assad. We talk all this shit about punching Nazis, yet here we have some legit nazi like actions by Assad that deserve a legit ass kicking. Fuck trump, but folks who oppose the actions he took mostly because it was he who took the action are straight clowns.

All because Man Child 45 can't have his ways.
From what I've read and watched over the last few days, it seems most politicians and people in the defense and intelligence communities were in unison that we needed to do something.
