So I'm late to this news, but why is it being met with hatred? Syria used gas against its own citizens, the US military warned Russians to gtfo of the airbase, seems like, of all the possible outcomes of a strike on a foreign country, this was one of the better ones.
Tell me why I'm wrong, because with my limited amount of knowledge on the subject this doesn't seem like the worst thing ever.

You people are fear mongering or just wanting WW3 to start. It´s sick. WW3 will not happen because of Syria.

Trump is not going to be able just do away with sanctions, there is strong bi-partisan support to prevent him from doing that

There's that whole part where we aren't at war with Syria.

Well, for one, people have been getting slaughtered there in grizzly ways for years and just now it's suddenly a major problem for people who have also said for years to stay out of it. Also bad news if we get entangled in another damn war.

Trump has been saying for that the US should not attack Syria. Yet he is the one attacking now, tisking killing russian troops and triggering a war with Russia.
He now comes with crocodile tears saying he was moved by the video footage, but he refuses to take in refugees from that country and is now bombing it
Well, honestly, this is probably less conspiracy and more causality, given we know that the administration (rightfully) gave the Russians a heads up. They might have left the base, but there's no way the Russians weren't going to let the Syrians and Iranians know that a strike was coming. Determining a timeframe in which you could notify the Russians with enough lead time and leave them without enough time to warn the base's occupants would be pretty much impossible.

Outside of progressive circles (NeoGAF) it's being met with cautious positivity. Here it's mixed because there are reasonable people who think it won't achieve any objective (which could be right), there are people who won't accept anything that Trump does as being positive (which good historical reasons), and there are people on the conspiratorial side who think it's a play to boost his poll numbers.
Personally, I'm on the cautious positive side. I think it's probably the right thing to do, but understand that there's plenty of room for mistakes.
There's also people on both sides of this who also see Trump as a fucking hypocrite
Oh, and on far right, Alt-right circles they fucking hate it and see it was a Jewish NeoCon Kushner conspiracy to brainwash The Donald. Another reason why I'm cautiously positive.
I wonder what Xi thinks about all this. The US did the attack right during his visit.
Could have several implications:
1. Trump shows Xi that the US are not afraid of using weapons (look at NK, Xi)
2. Maybe Mr. Master Negotioator knew that he won't have a lot of success during the talks with Xi.
3. I can see the Chinese being angry about the timing, since they planned to go to the USA as a big time player on the global stage. Now, with the attack, I doubt that many people still pay a lot of attention to the meetings outcome (especially the average joes). Must be a huge blow to Chinas ambition to be regarded as a major force.

I will never underestimate what the republican base is willing to do due to fears of terrorism, or as I like to call it, the brown boogeyman. I mean, a large portion of them suddenly fell in love with Putin of all people because he helped Trump.
And theyre selling sex slaves out of a pizza shop!
I mean if you think about it the sandy hook parents might have been actors -> gun control legislation -> martial law -> new world order run by vampire pedophiles gg
Orrrr Assad used chemical weapons on civilians and children and needs to be stopped and not everything has to do with trump x putin conspiring (other than the usual geopolitical everything kind of having to do with US v Russia)

Can you link me where Trump changed his stance on taking Syrian refugees? I seem to have missed that.
Haha, that's brilliant!

according to the key the area of the chemical attack is Al-Nusra(Al-Qaeda) territory, nice of them to let in that Guardian reporter Kareem Shaheen and those guys from the syrian institute of justice, I guess they arent that bad after all.
Also this
"IS is attacking the Syrian Army at the 24th crossroad near Furqlus"
So ISIS has began an offensive nearby the airbase that the US bombed

This is also a good counter to the 'Assad has already won, why would he use chemical weapons now ?' false flag bullshit that is being spread, despite all the help he's getting Assad has not even been able to defeat the rebels a few kilometers from his presidential palace in Damascus.

$100mil in ordinance to send the message that 'America is peeved, so don't gas people, but if you do, make sure to launch the attack from a base with a rump Russian force.'
I still don't see how this materially changes Assad or his allies' calculus WRT future use of chemical weapons.
I guess I'm just an all-purpose dick, because I wasn't trying to be one with that question. But I apologize for coming across as one.

More like nazi Germany, 'predicting' his own behaviour.

Someone needs to really scour that thing and see what else we can expect him to do.
No, my tinfoil is darker.

FWIW Assad probably never would have used gas this week if Hillary were president because he would have been dealing with a known quantity instead of Trump who will always be trying to figure out what he is.
Here's the bottom line IMO.
1) Assad still has his chemical weapons.
2) The Russians bugged out after we called them.
3) The Syrians probably did too, largely.
So this attack probably accomplished nothing other than distraction and re-framing.
This will be used to claim that Trump isn't a puppet as #russiagate proceeds.

I'm sure that even if you don't speak Russian just seeing the Russians scrambling to get the fuck out of a safe base isn't hard to decipher that you better start getting out yourself. That and they broadcast their plans all over the internet throughout the day anyway. They gave plenty of heads up.
We targeted military equipment
The number of people who think the "syria situation" is all just a big distraction or political setpiece that stems back to trump and russia scandal is a little bit offensive? Children died because of Assad.
Not much to say from Russia. Certainly no "fire will reign from the heavens"
