Does Attention To Syria Necessarily Contradict 'America First?'

I understand the separation of powers.

But here is where I am coming from:

It is my belief that if the ACA, Common Core, and the illegal invasion are all stopped in their tracks and reversed NOW (as in this year), there is no hope to save this country. Without bloodshed that is.

That’s how far gone we are.

Therefore virtually all of this administration’s time, energy, and political capital should be concentrated in these three areas, from where I sit. This is the way I see it.

Use the bully pulpit daily - take it to the people a la Ronald Reagan. Have others in and out of the administration of like minds state their cases as well. Put more and more pressure on the Congress.

In other words, go for broke.

I did not vote for endless war but it appears thats what we will be getting. Can’t repeal Obamacare or do tax cuts? Lets bomb the s*it out of everybody! YEAH! GO TEAM AMERICA!

Trump went full bore establishment right before our eyes. The Uniparty wants to take down Syria badly and have for some time. Hillary would have been doing the same things and making the same noises.

Someone please explain what this has to do with American interests? I can see Qatar and SA interests, but the USA, not so much.

We got played and Trump will now be a one term president.

“Just learrn a little patience.”

Yeah, that’s probably the best advice at this point.

I’m certainly not privy to plans and strategies this President has in the works. I don’t have all the information.

What’s more, America has a history of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Time and time again, this country has come through just when it looked impossible to do so.

Maybe I shouldn’t be arguing with tradition...

>No, but I expected Trump to defend and promote conservative values.

I wouldn’t expect that. Trump’s not ideological beyond that he wants American civilization to continue and to fix the problems with America. Things like abortion and judges was part of the deal Trump made with us in exchange for our loyalty. If groups like the freedom caucus continue to be disloyal I’d expect Trump to make more deals with moderates and libs than with us.

Not happy with the strike.
That was $90 million down the tube and nothing accomplished but PO’ing the Russians and possibly weakening the most effective opponent of ISIS.
Initially, I thought the gas attack was a false flag operation, but even it was not, I still do not think we should be involved. There are no results from our previous interventions in the ME that justify continuing involvement.
And, to be honest, I don’t really care what the Syrians do to each or how they do it.
I am just hoping that this was a move on a bigger chessboard than the one I am able see.
