What goes wrong will be on Trump.
At this point, I just can’t relate with the “let’s attack Trump” sentiment expressed by so many previously seldom seen posters on this website.
Russia knew not to have any planes there that could be harmed
What business is it of ours?
Isn’t Syria fighting ISIS?
Yep. Deep State.
Congressional approval - my first thought as well.
Could have sworn I read that President Trump tweeted that nothing will happen without it.
Not liking the way this sounds...
I would really, really like to know Assad’s motive for his alleged CW attack.
Trump’s first big mistake.
Sounds like a huge waste of money to me. Certainly more costly to the Americans than to the Syrians. (Cost around $80 million).
Trump can bypass international authorization by claiming human rights violations (it’s basically an extension of self defense claim for humanity). Trump can use the 1973 war powers resolution to bypass congress.
No, this was Kerry all along promising like for Iran that all chemicals were removed thanks to the magic negro.
Obviously Assad wanted the idiot in power and kept quiet giving Obama the space he needed. Now that opinion is divided, he saddles Trump with the Obama mess.
Where in the kcuF do we get off intervening in a their Civil War?
Who intervened in ours?
Would we like to be invaded and bombed by another country(Mexico don’t count)?
What other countries should we “intervene” on behalf of their citizens?
Venezuela seems like a good idea.
What about Iran? Those Pluckers shot their people dead on camera.
So, can we just bomb North Korea?
Who will replace the leaders we displace or kill?
Will they be friendly to us?
What is to prevent the new leaders from committing atrocities?
Since we are bombing the FK out of everyone, why can’t we install a republic founded on a constitution much like ours, by force?
What countries have we invaded in the last 20 years and improved the lives of its citizens and made the world safer?
What happened to non-intervention?
How is this America first?
The rest of the world doesn’t see this is as human rights violations so, why is this our problem?
kcuF the EU
kcuF NATO
This is closer to being their problem than ours and I have heard nothing from those Apeholes....
Check your history.
The US has done dozens of wars w/o congressional approval.
Syria won't cross that line again.
And the Russians now have some choices:'
Payback’s a bitch, I hope we’re ready for this.
I agree with the other posters that this is a major mistake. The president has no authority to declare war, and what else can this be but a declaration of war against Syria? Whether Syria is responsible for the chemical attack or not, there should be—and constitutionally are—greater limits on what a president can and cannot do with US military forces. We are not supposed to be Team America World Police.
Welcome to the party, pal.
Freepmuch?
Here we go.
How can this be?
The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) is an arms control treaty which outlaws the production, stockpiling, and use of chemical weapons and their precursors.
As of October 2016, 67,098 of 72,524 (93%) metric tonnes of chemical agent have been verifiably destroyed. More than 57% (4.97 million) of chemical munitions and containers have been destroyed.[7]
Five State Parties, namely Albania, an unspecified state party (widely believed to be South Korea), India, Libya, and Syria, have completed the destruction of their stockpiles. Russia and the United States, which declared the largest amounts of chemical weapons, are in the process of destruction.[17] The deadline set for both countries of April 2012, however, was not met.
