I mean you probably are just best to Google and read multiple sources. A lot of this comes from visual feedback/evidence as well. People, including children, were dying from chemical weapons, that's not disputable. It was civilian towns as well.
Assume everyone on twitter is just a random person with no credibility or sources for anything, and work from there. Because thats actually what twitter is. You might as well have posted a screenshot of a 4chan post saying ww3 would start today and said "uh oh guys..."

This is why it doesn't make sense he ordered it

And to highlight the use of chemical weapons (its not the first time)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_chemical_weapons_in_the_Syrian_civil_war#Reported_chemical_weapons_attacks
For this attack, the thing is that the payload size and scale cannot be executed by anyone but Assad's airforce. You need airborne deployment for those kind of casualty numbers.

Nope, I'll let my disgust of Trump influence me, thank you very much
Why is it so hard for people to grasp that some people trust certain people more than others to make the same decision?
I think Hillary would have did this after careful deliberation, in good faith, and inform all the proper channels and follow through with the correct approach.
I don't have that same faith in Trump, who seems to have only done this as a cheap attempt to boost his failing approval ratings, and I don't trust him at all to make the right decisions going forward to not escalate this matter for political gain or just because he wants a war.

Hillary Clinton and Trump are not the sole owners of opinion on how military matters should be conducted. Fuck Donald Trump AND fuck Hillary Clinton.
EDIT: Fuck Obama too for good measure.

Clinton being a crazy warhawk led to the current Libyan catastrophe.
Odds are if her AND Trump agree on a military action it's the worst decision imaginable.

4chan at least provides amusing logic chains to support their conspiracies
You posted the same gibberish in the original thread and then bailed when all the evidence showed you were wrong.

Do you still believe ISIS also used jet fighters to bomb the hospitals after the attack?
No.
They could have moved some stuff out. But this is more of a "Knock that shit out" response. And even if they didn't destroy equipment, they disabled that airport for a while.

Yeah this is how I feel about it as well. While I can see reason for bombing the air base, it seems like an impulsive decision when it comes from Trump.

Congress said no. And it was deeply unpopular. And no, Syria would not be at peace.
This is like, the heart of conspiratorial thinking. Confirmation bias about literally EVERYTHING.

I don't have time to comb through this whole thread, but has this been posted?

Some crazy accuracy there.
This kind of trash has been exposed.
1. Post a bunch of shit on twitter via multiple tweets.
2. Hide posts.
3. Unhide posts when something even close happens, date stamps stays the same, looks like you predicted the future.
Ok relax a bit there. I wasn't posting it as some kind of news, just a coincidence that was amusing. It has nothing to do with something *I* want to be true, unless you're suggesting I want WW3 to start? I do not follow that twitter account, it was simple shared with me earlier, and I thought it was something others would want to see, even if it was to dissect and dismantle it. That's perfectly fine.
I didn't know that kind of thing happened. Honestly, it's kind of pathetic.
Oh well if hillary is ok with it it's fine then. /s

Should have launched 500.
Did Trump asked Congress yesterday and it said yes?

Not really. He could have taken Trump's rhetoric about the situation more seriously than he should have.

Lol how many times has it been said that if you pitched to Hollywood what has happened in politics in the last six months you'd have been laughed out of the room for implausibility? I don't think it's likely but you can't say that's it's not possible.

no. he decided to use the war powers act as justification to shoot first and seek official congressional approval later.
For anyone wondering about the history and politics of Presidential war powers, Dan Carlin did an episode of Common Sense focusing on the last time Assad used chemical weapons and Obama's struggle with congress at the time:

It's a much more opinion driven show than his Hardcore History podcasts, but still has good information about what has happened up to this point.

No, he didn't ask Congress. Like what should be done unless directly attacked. But Congressional leaders are all of a sudden ok with the strike, Even though they weren't before.

Why are people questioning it was the Syrian Armed Forces that used sarin gas?
Does ISIS/rebels have an Air Force all of a sudden?

can't decide how i feel about this. there's probably no good solution here for USA, doing nothing is bad, diving into a new middle east conflict is bad, real double bind here

The most humane thing in this shitshow likely is to accept refugees. But........... MORE BOMBS!

No they don't, this war crime of using chemical weapons was clearly done by Al Assad as he did multiple times.
Weak sauce response, less than half of the Tomahawks made it to target and most of them didn't even hit the airfield proper. By the photos released by the MOD the Runway will be operational in a week or two for fixed wing aircrafts. Only 6 planes were destroyed.
It's already servicing attack choppers despite the ineffective cruise strikes.

The only reaction from Russia and their allies is "This is it?" And continue on.
Russia is sending ground troops and advisors to Hama city proper, words of massive Russian+allies preparations for an offensive on Idlib to deal with HTS once and for all. I expect Russian injection of more manpower and hardware as well as an Idlib offensive as the main response.
Because chemical agents can be loaded into mortar rounds as well as rockets and artillery, no need for an air force to deliver chemical agents, think WW1.

The point of this wasn't to destroy the strip or the fleet. It was a warning. How many times does this need to be brought up?

Yeah, accepting refugees and just letting Assad win might be the best option at this point.
Assad is fucking awful, but drawing out the conflict even longer hurts more innocents in the long run.

Because if Trump was going to go through all this trouble, go around Congress, go around our allies, and spend 70+ million to send a "warning" he could have disabled the damn base.
Now Syria is digging their heels and Russia's getting more involved.
