We are already involved in war over there, in case you missed that fact. Unlike you I trust that President Trump did not act out of haste, but rather in the best interest of this country.
None of us know who, if anyone, used chemical weapons or what their motivation was for using them. Neither are we privy to intelligence President Trump saw to convince him that it was Assad that was the culprit that used them. So again I will not second guess President Trump's decision to strike back.
As to why we should care, we have stated that we would not tolerate the usage of chemical weapons. So unlike Obama, President Trump decided that he needed to do something rather than nothing like Obama. Doing nothing only emboldens them to use them again. How many times has Assad said he didn't use them when it was later proven that he did. Russia is a proven liar in many horrific acts as well that they claim they had no role in.
While I will stipulate we are heavily in debt, we are not broke, and certainly not totally broke. Even Greece is not totally broke. But I will agree, we cannot nor should we play the world's policeman. But neither can we sit back and allow evil to gain in power & influence around the globe either.
As I stated before it was a small measured attack that targeted chemical weapons production facilities and stockpiles. Russia should have zero motivation to retaliate. They didn't in the previous attack, though they bleated that there would be consequences to pay just like they did this time. Relax, this did not provoke Russia anymore than the previous attack did. No escalation from either side will result from this message sent. The message was sent not just to Russia but other bad actors as well. America will not be intimidated by threats. Peace through strength is more effective in obtaining that objective, than doing nothing. Doing nothing is what they want our response to be.
But let us not fight among each other and call those who disagree with our position names. Let us not use the leftist tactics on those who are on the same side yet do not necessarily agree 100% on certain issues. I realize you are convinced you are the one with the correct opinion, just as those with the opposing opinion are convinced their opinion is correct. The minor battles pale in comparison to the bigger picture. More importantly, your faith should be in God only, because without God's guiding hand we will not realize the bigger picture anyway.
Instead, save using that tactic for those who truly are the enemy, the leftists.
I just don’t buy the Globalist point of view - we can’t just go into a tizzy every time some US haters show us pictures of children - that’s what Germany did with the ‘refugees’, now they’re changed forever - one stupid kid washed up on a beach and now MILLIONS of German-hating ‘refugees’ destroying the country.
Obama had NO REASON to start that war, and Trump shouldn’t be continuing that - that was Hillary’s war, and it should have ended with her defeat.
Very well said....
Great post.
