This would be a more compelling argument if the strikes weren't in the hands of a president who wants to prevent Syrian refugees from coming to the US


I hope so much that Donald Trump and his followers will find the mercy in their hearts to show love and compassion to the innocent people of Syria. America can do so much more to give shelter to the refugees of that country, and we should.


They won't.

I didn't say that Trump wasn't a hypocrite. He is. I'm not a Trump supporter. That tweet is just wrong and showed his ignorance.

The strike is legal and just in my opinion.

what do you guys think will happen in the region when we topple assad? things will surely get better, right?

Can they really get any worse?


Yes, actually.

Say what you will about a Civil War between Assad and the rebels. Imagine what is going to happen when literally everyone is going to be making a land grab. Multiple factions are going to be looking to take control of the country. The Kurds are going to want to get their part. And there's obviously going to be parts of the military that wants to fight back. Not to mention, the entire reason that ISIS came into being was because of destabilization of a leader.

And that's the best case scenario. If Russia actually does have a problem with this and supports Assad in an outright war, you don't think we're going to see even more bloodshed? I don't believe for a minute it'll go nuclear, but it's going to be bad.

No, Russians were there, and they were informed of the incoming attack, which could mean Assad was alerted about it too.

Ok this is interesting.

Apparently there WERE Russians at the base.

But the US warned them to leave and told them when they would be bombing.

The Pentagon has not said whether the Russians did leave, whether the Russians warned the Syrians or what they were doing in the first place.

Pentagon has said it did not want to target any Russians

Trump seems to be hoping that he can form a coalition of all major NATO countries/Russia to overthrow Assad. This is why he talked about "civilized countries coming together".

However, I would argue that NATO would not be too keen on Trump starting a new war and dragging NATO into it, when he's been critical about how much they pay into NATO, and has seemed to think it should be abolished...

Obama ended up not going ahead with the strikes on Syria in 2013 (though it's not like we never touched the country.)

But, also

It is possible for both Trump and Obama to be bad, particularly given the consistency in American military policy since 2001.

Maybe we had intelligence they were creating or storing chemical weapons there sableye

It seems very possible considering we warned Russia yet targeted this very random base

Meanwhile the Trump administration is talking shit about Russia failing to stop chemical weaponry in Syria, saying they are either complicit or incompotent

Apparently they believe that the planes from the chemical attack flew out of there and that they are storing more chemicals on base.

Trump's major complaint with NATO was that he felt that other countries weren't paying their fair share into the military, because the US had to be the "major defender" of the alliance.

This criticism rings hollow when you now have Donald actively starting an attack on another nation, then imploring them to join in the fight.

Obama's only mistake was making up a "red line" that he wasn't willing to enforce and left us with our asses exposed when it was obvious that he wasn't willing to overthrow Assad. Luckily, the Russians helped us save face by arranging the removal of chemical weapons from the country to defuse tension.

But Assad shat all over that diplomatic resolution when he deployed these weapons again. The fault for these strikes is SOLELY Assad's . I honestly believe Trump doesn't want to do anything in Syria, but Assad has forced his hand.

Precisely. He complains that the US is responsible for so much, and then actively attacks another country in the name of defending civilians.
