It’s not a clear violation of this promises to us.
You can’t determine every type of event that is going to take place on your watch. He has not implemented a land invasion of Syria. He has not implemented an effort to take Assad down. Those are the sorts of things he promised not to do.
As a Christian, I don’t see the action he took to be some sort of indecent thing to do. Assad was believed to have used chemical weapons, and Trump sent a message that it was wrong and not to do it anymore.
It was a one-of event, and not indicative of a decade we would be mired in Syria.
Thank you for your reasoned response.
For me, the jury is still out on whether Assad used chemical weapons or if they hit a depot and inadvertently released them.
From my standpoint, it is immaterial. Assad is fighting a civil war inside his own borders, if he doesn’t attack us, it is his business. To think otherwise is to make it morally justified for other countries to attack us because they don’t like the way we are doing things right here.
I respect that you are moved by the horrific suffering of others, I am too. However, if we go down this road, it won’t stop until we are running things everywhere, or we destroy ourselves in the attempt. You understand the fallen nature of Man, we can never make it perfect here. I do not call you a fool, I’m simply afraid that your heart will send you on a fool’s errand.
