Trump rains hell on Syrian airbase

[Landon]

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.

Satellite images released Friday of the Syrian air base that was pounded with 59 U.S. Tomahawk missiles show large-scale destruction to airfields, planes and fueling facilities allegedly used by the Assad regime to mount chemical weapons attacks.

However, the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that Syrian warplanes were able to take off from the base and carry out airstrikes in the countryside near Homs.

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.

Looks like the neocons are taking over the administration. He's basically done al-Qaeda's work for them by bombing Assad.

Putin right, Trump wrong.

Trump has been wrong every day he has been in office. The amount of disturbance he has caused not only for the world but for the Citizens of America.
No one is safe anymore.

A bit OTT.

I'd say the greatest disturbance of the last few years would be the destabilisation of and arming of terror groups in Libya and Syria by the Obama administration which has led to a stalled civil war and an influx of refugees/rapists/terrorists into Europe.

Wouldn't you?

Obama was that close to doing it years ago - 2012.

You don't think it was right? If so, why not?

I don't think it is right to destabilise the only vaguely rational force (Assad) that holds Syria together and place the area in the hands of Islamists, no. More broadly, the existence of Syria or non-existence of it as a state matters to British interests... how?

The only great power involved in this which has real interests in the area is Russia and it is at least backing the right side.

I definitely do not think it is OTT. (I'm assuming OTT means,"over the top", as I do not usually use acronyms)

I dont think Syria or Libya has ever been stable for the last two decade. So to try and state that during Obama's administration time as the leading cause of the increase of refugees/rapists/terrorists into Europe.

Having people escape from those areas have been happening even before it's been recorded, recognized and reported by the news.

Syria and Libya were very stable states (naturally due to them being iron fisted dictatorships) prior to Obama's meddling in the region and supplying weapons to "rebel fighters" aka Islamic terrorists. So yes, the increase of terrorists/refugees and rapists into European nations is a direct cause of Obama's destabilisation of both Libya and Syria - especially Libya which had sea patrols along her coast in co-operation with European nations like Italy but is now a failed state and has none of that.

Isn't it the case that you're not actually bothered about the issue itself but just like to slate Trump when the guy I assume you liked (Obama) actually created the problem but he gets a free pass from you because he lets two dudes get married, goes on Jimmy Fallon with pre-pared lines and didn't talk about grabbing pussy back in 2005 on Howard Stern? That's what you really mean isn't it.

It irks me when people use the bad foreign policy of US Presidents to slate/support one over another because most of the time they're not actually criticising the foreign policy itself but using it in orders to criticise or support their preferred/disliked President.

To begin off: I am Canadian, so the presidency really doesn't bother me on a personal level but it does effect me on a national level. And as far as saying that Obama has single handedly caused the outbreaks in the Middle East is bogus. You've got to have more years supplying to those countries.
The reasons I would have wanted to see Obama in office is because he turned the pages of a new era in North America and allowed for a lot of push in Canada as well as.

So before you start attacking me as an individual, remember that I am not from the US. My views on Trump is based upon what has been happening since he has been in office.

We, in Canada, are having an increase of refugees come into our country not just from Syria but also those from Mexico, and the states as well. But you don't see me calling them terrorists and rapists.

You based your view on these people on one or two events... Or what you have heard from the news.

What do you not like so far?

But the second that there is a terrorist attack from a refugee in Canada, you are going to say the same thing that we (conservatives) do as well. :/
