Let’s look at the record. In 1979,the U.S. helped take down the Shah of Iran, an authoritarian nationalist. The result was the rise of Islamic extremism. In 2003, we took down Sadaam Hussein, an authoritarian nationalist, to be replaced by Islamic extremists allied with Iran. In 2011,we helped take down Muhammad Gaddafi, replacing him with Islamic extremists. Under Obama/Clinton/Kerry, we supported Islamic extremist terror groups trying to topple the authoritarian nationalist regime of Assad in Syria. Then Trump actually turned the tables against Isis and similar groups, greatly weakening them. Now Trump has been flipped to the Deep State side. The gas attack looks like the same false flag as happened with the WMDs, Iraqis throwing Kuwaiti babies out of incubators, the Tonkin Gulf non-attack.
If Trump thinks doing this will pull the Democrat, RINO, and Never Trump crowd off his back, he is mistaken. If the Democrats retake Congress, rest assured impeachment proceedings will begin before the cherry trees blossom in 2019.
There are many truths in your post. Through the years we have made an incredible mess in the Middle East. Jimmy Carter’s overthrow of the Shah, even after all these years, may still come back to destroy us.
I don’t approve of Trump’s actions. He definitely listened to the Deep State. I hope, though, that last night was the last of it.
I’m hoping he will turn his attention back to domestic issues and the border.
