President Trump on Friday announced that he has approved military strikes in Syria against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The decision follows a suspected chemical gas attack from the Assad regime on a rebel-held town near the Syrian capital last weekend.
The United States launched the response, along with assurance from France and the United Kingdom, Trump stated.
French President Emmanuel Macron said the operation is currently targeting the "clandestine chemical arsenal" in Syria.
"This evening I have authorized British armed forces to conduct coordinated and targeted strikes to degrade the Syrian Regime’s chemical weapons capability and deter their use," British Prime Minister Theresa May said in a statement.
Trump's announcement immediately preceded reports of loud explosions lighting up the sky in Damascus. Syrian TV reported that Syrian air defenses have responded to the U.S.-British-French attack.
Trump said the U.S. is prepared to "sustain" pressure on Assad until he ends what the president called a criminal pattern of killing his own people with internationally banned chemical weapons. It wasn't immediately clear whether Trump meant the allied military operation would extend beyond the initial nighttime round of missile strikes.

You need to hook up with your fellow retards.
You actually posted:
“Kurds are in Iraq.”
I think you have just awoken from a very long geopolitical nap.
Iranian funded terrorist group Hezbollah has held de facto control of southern Lebanon for almost 15 years.
They have something like 60,000 missiles aimed at Israel.
Things have been “out of control” in the eastern Mediterranean for as long as I can remember.
I don’t see the board at war with itself.
I see a fairly small crowd (and apparently getting smaller) of very loud people making a ridiculously big deal over a limited air strike.
How were the Christians in Iraq doing before Soros started his ‘arab spring’?
Total BS. You have never supported the President.
Keep telling yourself that. The people pissed tonight have been here a very long time. Many of whom were on the Trump train right out of the gate.

Darn, I missed it and it’s gone now. What did little Billy say? ;)
