Trump rains hell on Syrian airbase
Trump says that his opinion on Assad has now changed! Absolutely horrible chemical attack that we saw only days ago where dozens of innocent civilians were murdered and many others injured. Very early this (UK) morning, 59 tomahawk missiles were fired at the exact airbase that carried out the attack, disabling their ability to deliver chemical weapons efficiently and killing at least 7.
Read more for the major details. But man, an awesome development imo.

Shayrat air base was "almost completely destroyed" by the barrage of 1,000-pound warheads launched from the Eastern Mediterranean Sea early Friday, according to a human rights group in the country.
U.S. intelligence sources told Fox News they believe with "high confidence" that a deadly gas attack on Syrian civilians was carried out by government aircraft at Shayrat air base, southeast of Homs.
