Where does this stop? is the question of the day. There are many human rights violation taking place every hour. Should we intervene in Venezuela where the people are starving because of government tyranny.
This attack probably didn’t even kill anyone since the Russians were warned and you know they told the Syrians. Now some come have been left as sacrificial lambs.
obama set the line where he would retaliate... he did nothing when that line was crossed. What message did that send to assad? The whole world believed this great country had turned into wimps. We have been the strong country that kept a sort of peace.. they all knew we’d intervene if had to. We did not take land or oil from the countries we defended or overtook for a time (Japan, for example). Our goal has not been to keep the spoils of war... our goal has been to just keep peace as much as is possible. But there are limits to what we will tolerate...
Yes, there are violations every day in those countries.. and we do not intervene if it’s possible to let them do their own fighting. If it comes to our shores, we want those enemy governments to know, we will defend.
But, put everything else aside, there are so-called rules in our world.. one is atomic bombs.. nuclear attacks.. and biological attacks on innocent people... or on anyone. Just do NOT use saran gas or anything in that category. We will take you out if you do these things... for it would be annihilation for all of us. We should not wait till they hit us... the fact a crazy man would use it on sleeping innocent people.. innocent babies... and then have a good day the next... is beyond imagination.
That is the line and assad crossed it.. because he thought he could... obama the chicken.... set that line and never aimed to do anything more. If there is trouble after we attacked that base... we will answer it... we don’t look for trouble, but we don’t run either. They probably will test Trump again... to see if he can withstand it... but he’s been under attack since day one.. attacks no other President ever had to take on every day.. he’s no shrinker and if they test him again, they will see the same determined man. He has the Pentagon and the military... plus many other heads.. they will work it out. Just don’t be weak.. it leads to real problems.
We can’t be naive to think there will be no more wars in our lives... no more trouble with bad guys who have no sense. That is why we need a strong military, weapons, and good leadership. It was a bad 8 years with obama... very bad for all of us and the world!
