I also don't see it happening. It may not have a negative impact that pushes him into the 20s, but he's not going to see a big surge either.
...ziocons?
I'm at work so googling anything out of David dukes mouth seems like a bad idea >.>

Don't worry, deplorables, the brown people are still banned.
The Syrians had Russian planes anyway so either way Russia is probably somewhat pissed.
I might have thought this until I read this thread. But nope, we're at "the us can't stand by and watch these atrocities happen" stage again, and the citizens are lapping it up, again.

Maybe not because now Assad will need to buy more.
Fucking hell.

Well, that sounds true.
Aha, true that.
So with one move, Trump alienated his base and seemingly, plenty of Republicans as well?
Is that the silver lining here? Will we be rid of President Trump sooner rather than later?
I like how the last imbecile in those tweets was apparently fine with Trump being manipulated by Russians, but Americans are unacceptable.
I need off this planet.

He's the master of projection. You know how Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I present the third law of Trump for every statement there is an equal and opposite tweet.
It's true. What's the third option here?
Oh god....

Nothing. People trying to look pragmatic and objective, but forgetting that Trump is completely incompetent.
This confrontation was inevitable. Just like how one with North Korea seems inevitable as well. Whether it was Hillary or Trump, this was going to happen. The fact is we needed a President with a cool head on their shoulders and the temperament to make the right decisions.
That isn't Trump, and things will get worse before they get better for the Syrian people.
The Russians definitely immediately phoned Assad after hearing from the US. But the US is the world superpower. As strong as Russia and China are, they know they cannot stop the US if it came down to it. So they just accepted this strike on the air base. But it doesn't end here. The Russians are right now discussing a response. Is it to covertly continue Assad support with more arms, step up their own attacks again, pull back and hope for an Assad step down but one that keeps someone of his choosing in power etc. They would never accept a Syrian rebel faction taking control.
As much as some people want to pretend this is a great thing. It wasn't. You are 3 years too late on Assad regime change. There is no rebel force stable enough to replace him. And this will only increase Assad anger at his own people. If chemical weapons are out which he won't risk using again, be prepared for killings and bombings again.

Pointing out the hypocrisies of Republicans could be a full time job.

Damn, a cruise missile is pretty big. How would that not crater a runway?
Tillerson: "Russia complicit or incompetent in dealing with Assad"
Wow.

idk but best guess is zionism + conservatives

There's nothing to be torn about. Trump is a moron. That's what the facts are. This isn't going to be handled in a way that promotes a better quality of life for Syria. And we still won't let refugees in.

- Limited military action will no have impact on Assad's rule, much less Syria's murky future.
- More expansive military action without a diplomatic consensus amongst the opposition in Syria will embolden warring factions and sink the nation further into conflict
- It will leave the US in yet another quagmire, and after eventually withdrawing, will damage US foreign policy further as an Iraq 2.0
It's interesting that Trump's statement following the attacks focused solely on chemical weapons, the same restricted objective that Sec Kerry envisioned a few years ago. By limiting the objective to something specific, and setting military action around it, you can act without committing to the conflict as a whole. It wasn't even an airfield, much less all of their airfields, but rather the same one these planes allegedly landed on. And even then, the Pentagon had to try avoid Russian military.
I'm guessing Zionist conservatives? It's the only thing I can piece together out of it.

It's a combination of "zionists" and "neoconservatives." It's sort of like "(((globalists)))," it's another derogatory term against Jews that Duke uses.

Nobody cared about Libya or Syria in the US, not even when Assad gassed people the previous time. People really don't like seeing the US getting involved in this stuff since Iraq. The very reason Obama couldn't carry out strikes is because people didn't follow the whole "we are outraged" media spin. Even Michelle Obama told him not to get involved, not to arm the rebels.

I can only trust in our military to not do something that leads to a horrible domino effect.

This is people getting him to do their bidding, he's fucking clueless.
They are allies, strong allies spanning decades when Assad's daddy was cosy with Brezhnev. Russia also maintains its only overseas naval base at Tartus in Syria. Putin had seen the erosion of Russian influence around the world and was determined not to lose any more allies, particularly after his pal Yanukovych in Ukraine was ousted in a popular uprising.
As for the maintaining of silent no one wants to be seen to be defending or excusing a chemical weapons attack on civilians. Even the Russians realised their piss poor attempt to provide alternative facts and blame the rebels for the chemical release was a PR disaster and utterly insane. The Kremlin will remain quiet on this, let Trump get his five minutes of dick-waving out of the way and then resume the slaughter of Syrian civilians.
But the relationship between Trump and Putin may very well be irrevocably altered at this stage. Moscow probably wishes Clinton had won, at least they'd have known what to expect from her, unlike the unpredictable Trump.

This smacks of PR. Let's see how long this goes on for.
Hardened runway and ground is surprisingly hard to damage. And unnecessary too, possibly, if everything else is wiped out in the air field like it seems to be.
EDIT IIRC, Tomahawks have 450kg warhead, which is average as warheads go, i think. Not sure.
