“Syria is a sovereign country. We should not be in their airspace shooting down their planes, particularly since we have not declared war on Syria.”
I understand your point, but Syria is a failed state. Given IS, we have every right to do whatever we need to.
“The “US backed rebels” are CIA cutouts for weapons delivery to IS et al.”
Separate issue.
But, are you saying we still support IS under Trump?
It certainly isn’t “knocking the hell out of ISIS”. This is the second strike on the Syrian government.
That's Alice in Wonderland reasoning. Syria is a failed state because the Obama administration gave its full effort to orchestrating regime change there.
We keep hearing from everyone in DC "Assad is a bad guy". Huh? Assad was running his country just fine until the US armed and trained rebels.
Where is the legal definition of failed state? Where is the legal justification to declare a failed state? Where is the specific legal or constitutional authorization to commit an act of war in a sovereign country.
This is the kind of stuff that Hillary and Jeb supported, not Trump.
