Done with him. @ben4titans, McCain and Graham are praising Trump for attacking Syria. The GOP war hawks love this move. If you give up on Trump, looks like the establishment and swamp dwellers will be there to fill your space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earlers Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I may NOT word this artfully so here goes. It seems that most conservatives care more about the dead than living. Trump cares about these dead Syrian children but cares less about living Syrian children refugees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans279 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 One thing to worry about about is the simple positive reinforcement Trump gets from cable news, which we know he watches religiously, prompting Trump to escalate involvement in Syria.

Trump is right in creating safe zones within their own country or neighboring countries, how he and the world community manage those safe zones is where it gets tricky. However, safe zones are the best answer. Agreed. allowing a million + refugees into the west is a poor solution to a complicated problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos27 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Fuck it. I hate Trump but I'm in favor of the air-strikes. I don't want to escalate US involvement in Syria but what they did deserved some type of retribution to show it won't be tolerated. I hate to say it but Trump is right in saying that had Obama done something like back when Syria did this the first time maybe this attack could've been deterred. From everything I've read Obama only made a show of wanting to do strikes and insisted on getting congressional approval because he knew they wouldn't allow it, so he could say "sorry guys I tried". He could've acted unilaterally. The better option would have been for NATO to actually grow a pair and take care of business so that the US doesn't have to go off on their own and take measures like this.

To counter this it is dangerous to commit act of war without congressional approval. I agree with the airstrikes in this instance but Syria seems like somewhat of a damned if I do and damned if I don't situation. The #1 priority in the Western World should be taking in as many of the innocent civilians got up in this mess as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% Which is why my approval of this action does not extend to any future military involvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans279 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Edited: If GOP lawmakers thought striking Syria was the right thing to do in 2013 they should have lobbied for it. Instead they excoriated Obama for trying (even if he did not really want to) and then later for not trying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
