Trump launches military strike against Syria

As I recall from the discussions about Hillary prior to the election, this will immediately lead to WWIII with Russia, and the annihilation of the country.

Nice knowing ya'll, folks.

Over a camel depot? Hardly.
 
I am of mixed feelings. The use of Sarin gas by assad I think is horrible. That being said, I hope that there are no boots on the ground.

We have in excess of 7000 boots on the ground in Syria and Iraq. Iran has 100000 troops there.
 
Lol.... How many " brown people " have died as a result of Obama's disastrous ME policies ?

How many women and children in men were killed after Obama pulled all US military assets out of Iraq and never looked back as ISIS ran roughshod through once liberated Iraqi cities ?

Obama was continuing the policies of GW a**hat

It is not the job of US forces to defend other nations; if NON US forces want to kill off others then that is not the US killing off those same people

is the US gonna play sheriff to the planet to infinity?

I was under the impression that the main function of the US gubmint is to protect US citizens

what, are we f***ing Johnny Wayne now?
 
President Obama, do not attack Syria. There is no upside and tremendous downside. Save your "powder" for another (and more important) day!

If my name was Kim Jong something or other I'd be thinking really hard about my next moves.
 
I don't see the downside to doing this. I think Syria deserved it. Just have to see wait and see what they do next.

Yay... Trump is going to get us all killed...
 
The President must get Congressional approval before attacking Syria-big mistake if he does not!
 
I hope they didn't kill any Russians.
 
Again, to our very foolish leader, do not attack syria - if you do many very bad things will happen & from that fight the u.s. Gets nothing!
 
About time say what you want about Trump but this is the right move and years too late.
 
I hope they didn't kill any Russians.

I am sure Trump got permission(or maybe just instructions) from daddy Putin before launching the strike.

:mrgreen:

They were probably Russian cruise missiles.

I don't think it is only a coincidence that this attack takes place after Bannon's removal from his NSC post. So much for isolationism. Trump, like Obama, is a greenhorn discovering that being POTUS is not a simple, straightforward job. All the big talk now takes a back seat to the reality of global involvement. Is this what America First looks like? Welcome to the real world of global politics, President Trump. It is a humbling experience.

I don't think it's a great idea for Trump to be on the same page of the likes of McCain, Graham, Rubio & Nuland
who have been urging this type of move for 5 years. I'm for Trump but on the other hand I'm not for the
Islamic Fundamentalists who masquerade as the (Free Syrian Army)
