I don't understand posts like these. In times of war, there will always be casualties. It's unavoidable.


Obviously. But Trump reacting so quickly to shit all the time like this is incredibly dangerous.

The US once destroyed half of Iran's navy in a punitive strike. Did we invade Iran?

We bombed Libya way back in the 80s. Did that escalate into an invasion?

Respond to a chemical attack by destroying one airbase as a slap on the wrist to let them know that we have the power to destroy all their military bases along with anything else we want in their country if they cross a red line and gas their own people.

This is proportional and even the democrats will agree.

Well I would think more extensive bombing is called for anyway. Assad needs to be punished for breaking the agreement we reached with him, and international law.

I'm not forgetting Iraq, Afghanistan, and Obama's terrible ME policy that helped create power vacuums. This will almost certainly escalate into war and you're naive if you believe otherwise. We've gone from Trump not supporting intervention to 70+ missile strikes because "muh agreements" in a country nobody in the U.S. otherwise had a reason to care about.

Don't be ridiculous. Trump said earlier that they wouldn't try to remove Assad in Syria. The dumb **** Assad, despite everything going good for him, gases his own people AGAIN. Obama came close in deposing of Assad last time he tried that. He agreed to get rid of his stockpile of chemical weapons and not to do it again. This has nothing to do with Trump/Hillary. Assad crossed the line, period.

Iraq and Afghanistan are nothing like this at all. It was clear from the start that we were going to invade Afghanistan if the Taliban did not hand over Osama, and Bush made it clear that he was going to invade Iraq if Saddam didn't turn over his alleged WMDs and leave Iraq.

A punitive strike against an airbase does not mean that there will be a military invasion, and there are plenty of precedents from history to support that. And there is no stomach for another ground invasion of a Middle Eastern country.

jesus fucking christ

We don't win wars in the Middle East. We remove and destroy their power structures, ruin their infrastructure, and create a powder-keg scenario that leads to a huge power vacuum that allows for groups like ISIS to gain power. It increases the number of refugees (a real problem in Europe right now) and it destabilizes the entire region.

Our military power is irrelevant. We're tiptoeing in regions we should not be involved in at all. The last several decades of failed U.S. intervention should maybe clue people in on this.
