Hippie freeper bait thread and here they come.
Spouting words like 'globalism' and 'corporations'...
I do not support the action, but I am also not worried about it either. Lot’s of drama for no reason.
B. I wish Trump did not attack Syria.
C. I don't have access to sufficient information to conclude whether the President's actions were "right" or not.If option C is not available, I choose option A...I can only trust that the President—in possession of the most complete information possible—made a proper judgement based on his convictions regarding the intelligence which was offered as proof of Assad's actions.
I therefore defer to the President's judgement in light of the fact that I don't have access to information which convinces me otherwise.
It never would have happened if the Obama administration hadn't lied to the country and removed the chemical weapons as he said he did........

THIS TIME something had to be done.
Few, if any, good reasons not to.
Next time, maybe not.

B - Should have had all the facts first. I’m not convinced Assad’s regime did this yet.
A bsolutely!
I have to say B. Unless there is good intel indicating that a Syrian plane dropped a chemical munition. Otherwise I have my suspicions that this was by ISIS (not unlike a “fake hate crime” except much worse) and we have been played.

A. Hell yes! This plays on so many levels; it was one of the most for the money attacks ever.
B. Syria is fighting the Islamic State.
I support President Trump in this, because what you see on the surface is just a small fraction of what is going on here.
1) This was done *during* a visit by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China. The message was crystal clear: either they take care of their North Korean fat boy or we will. While we haven’t acted in past, he gets ever more belligerent with nuclear weapons and long range ballistic missiles. Stop him, or we will. No more delays.
2) From World War I, the prohibition against the use of chemical weapons was an absolute. Brezhnev stockpiled a huge amount to use against NATO, and the US paid the Russians a fortune to destroy it. By ignoring chemical weapons use in the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), the beast was let out of the cage in the Middle East. Obama’s spinelessness when Assad used chemical weapons to kill 1,500 people has now *forced* President Trump to send a very precise message to the Syrian Air Force.
“You used these weapons, so we blew your air base to smithereens. So don’t do it ever again.”
3) The Russians now assume that they can bully the US out of the region by sending in a cruiser to watch over and maybe attack our destroyers if they do anything else. But what *isn’t* seen is far more important. Submarines in the area.
US subs, Russian subs, Iranian subs, Egyptian subs, Israeli subs, Italian subs. Maybe even some other “players”. The eastern Mediterranean is getting downright crowded.
4) The message has been sent. The US doesn’t need to do anything else, assuming nobody else does something stupid.
Yes!

A- We need a show of force after 8 yrs of obastard.
B. I don’t much care how Muslim assholes kill each other. Gassing is bad, but so is sawing off heads with knives and burning people alive.
The fact that the world universally has outlawed chemical weapons and it's time to make a stand that we will do more than send Assad into time out is high time.
I support Trump doing everything in his power to keep me safe.
I think the Syria attack may not have been the best choice, but he knows stuff that I don’t. I voted for the guy and...as far as foreign policy is concerned...I am content to let the guy do his job.
A - I support President Trump
