“And We are in Syrian airspace WITHOUT the permission of the Syrian government.”
Listen, Assad used nerve gas on a bunch of civilians. This week is 100 years since we got into WW1 - where poison gas was used for the first time, and it was supposed to be the last time. Assad was supposed to get rid of his poison gas in 2014...and he clearly didn’t. To allow this (as Obama did) without response is to normalize the use of such weapons. What Trump did was to say, “Neither you nor anyone else had better use this type of weapon again.”
Just in case you haven’t figured it out, our troops can be the victims of this, and so can our (or friendly) civilians - and that this particular genie needs to be put back in the bottle for good.
Anyway, what would you expect, that the Syrian government would say, “Hey, that’s fine, come in and bomb us - but only tonight, after that the deal is off.” ????? No $hit we didn’t have their permission...and so bleeding what!?
We were in s declared war with Germany.
Your comparison is just silly.
