Forums - Politics - US launches missiles at Syrian Base following chemical attack

Leadified on 07 April 2017

At least the Russians were informed by the impending attack which avoided an even worse reaction but this move was too rash and could potentially compromise peace talks.

It's a warning shot across the bow. The use of chemical weapons will not be tolerated.

Mate. So many sides have used chemical weapons. And has there been legitimate proof it was used or was a chemical plant targetted on purpose or accidentally? We have to stop accepting every piece of news just cause media reports it. I remember the first few years where the rebels where all a peaceful army and ISIS or any extremist islamist war thugs were never part of it even though they were from the start.

News keeps changing to satisfy a certain narrative, and only give a snap shot of the current affairs without examining the layers of it and I can assure you the Syrian war is one of the most complex wars in modern history. 

In any case this is a bad move and I hope it doesn't escalate. This could lead to much worse than the chemical attack and I think it should be put in perspective to such a response from the Trump adminstration

If this was first time someone used a chemical weapon after Trump has been in office and the air strike was his response to it then I support it more or less.

It seems nobody got killed, so an actual precision strike to destroy some gear.

Bigger question is if this is the beginning of a new regime change campaign and perpetual war?

What gear? What is the battle damage assessment?

Well I dont agree with getting involved but unlike Obama he is atleast doing something in Syria then making made up redlines. 

Obama ordered 20,000 missle stirkes during his presidency. Trump is going to have to turn it up a notch if he wants to make it dick measuring contest.

Ah yes, they're starting to unironically praise him for war. You know, the finally becoming a president line is so asinine that it should be a joke, but they're actually saying it seriously.

This is their conversation:

He got called out in their conversation. Malcolm Nance is a vet and he knows what's on the other end of a launching missile.
