So WWII never realy ended? It just morphed into policing the world.
Articles like this are so stupid.
He ran on bombing Syria. Bombing the s*** out of them.
Trump did and destroyed ISIS so far.
If he can do that, he can do this.
I don’t think Syria was the target, it was Rocket Man in North Korea. RM in NK is probably overdosing on diarrhea control meds right now.
The judgment will have to wait until time proves what affect the attack had in any immediate sense, and will yet have on unfolding events in Syria.
For instance, we can now best assess the Obama administration claims (John Kerry, Meet The Press, 2014) that all chemical weapons in Syria were either destroyed or removed. Anyone could have said that “success” was praiseworthy at the time. Just as others could have said that making the claim set a bad precedent, because it was not a really verifiable claim. History shows the Obama claims were far from correct - bad precedent and not praiseworthy.
Well again, we will have to wait and see.
I think in regard to Middle East WMDs the only successful case was that in Iraq in and after 2003, where we did not leave any guessing to chance. That came at a high cost, and it is understandable that succeeding attempts to thwart production and use of WMDs in the Middle East have not wanted to repeat that method.
To attack Syria for its use of weapons denounced by The West, after all the diplomacy failures, made Syria ‘an example’ to its partners in horror, Iran and North Korea.

How is the any different than the bombing a year ago and under every president in my lifetime. We do limited bombing engagements to keep these rogue countries in line. Not just the one we are bombing but also for the other 20 thinking about stupid things. There’s nothing protracted here based on Friday’s actions. It’s a one and done. We do have a role in the world even without engagement in actual troops on the ground wars. And that’s a good thing. Reagan used these types of actions successfully. I give Trump the same power.
Mariner said it best. It’s a terrible precedent. Any time there’s a “suspected chemical attack” are the US, France, and the UK going to guess which side was responsible and start bombing things against maybe the correct guess?
President Trump proves that he is “America first” by attending to needed defense measures.
The globalist, who favors more world government and less sovereignty for individual nations does want a perfect world peace that cannot be attained with the everlasting reappearances of bully dictators in some nations.
We don’t want nuclear weapons landing on our own soil, before we act. Our President puts America first in both defense and economics. The United States hasn’t seen such a president for a very long time.
As for anti-American traitors against defense, they’ll be alright after going through drug/alcohol rehab.
What threat is Syria to the US?
Now North Korea is a threat to US.
Illegal alien invasions are a threat to US.
If you overthrow Assad who takes over?
How many years will our troops be dying there rebuilding the country.
This really has very little to do with anything else except taking a strong stand to deter the use of weapons of mass destruction, which has been an avowed US policy since, oh, say Truman or some such.
It is bad, but really precedent. The MI complex have been manipulating American presidents into war for decades. At least we don’t have a CIA guy in there for a change, but they are still pulling thw manipulation strings.
