It's not. Trump would never get into Syrian business. He's always said it. Told Obama to stay out of Syria. Obviously Trump isn't a hypocrit. Let Russia handle it.

Trump approval ratings are sagging, so he needs to bomb some Middle Eastern nation to get em back up.

He made or obtained more chemical weapons when he had fair warning not to. Furthermore it's everyone's business when a country is unleashing chemical weapons upon it's own people.

And it distracts people from all the Russia business.

really should be a UN priority, since its generally not a good thing to accept a leader who likes to randomly murder his people. but the UN is a toothless beast and the US has been playing hero for the last 60 years.

it distracts the media, not the FBI and the two legislative groups looking into the situation. to be honest it will probably help that process.

I think it's like Saddam and Iraq where they are trying to shift away from the Petrodollar/USD. It's always about money, they don't actually give a damn about the people over there.

That's what I'm thinking lol.

People were like "IT'S TO DISTRACT FROM RUSSIA"

And yeah I'm sure the media won't be reporting on it as much, but I'm sure the people investigating it don't really give a fuck.

There's some situations where wagging the dog won't do anything for you, this is one of them.

Well stability in the region would likely mean fewer instances of terrorism here in the west, but the joke I was making is that removing Assad would in no way contribute to that goal.

it isn't a priority

the missile strike didnt even fully disable the airbase

it was just a black eye given in response to using chemical weapons
