From the comments, it’s clear the Trump-haters on FR are coming out of the shadows.
If we have certainty that the Syrian military is responsible for the chemical attacks, then I’m fine with this.
This strike:
1) sends a message to the entire world that this president is not Obama, who drew a succession of “lines in the sand” as he moved backwards.
2) sends an important message to Chinese president Xi and Nork president Kim Jong-un: this is not the old Obama regime, we will deal with North Korea if necessary. For Xi, China’s militarization of the South China Sea is now problematic.
3) restores credibility to the notion that the US is the only remaining superpower.
4) disarms critics of Trump (temporarily) who insist he does Russia’s bidding: the Russians are shocked by this action. No Russians were lost since they were given short-term warning of the strike.
IF we had certainty that the Syrian military is responsible for the chemical attacks, then all would be as you say.
But we don’t. This reeks of a false flag.
I believe the US intel community has lied to President Trump, and that once again we are being herded into war.
