Trump bombing brown people to look presidential, face it the whole world saw this coming and nobody will seriously engage this clown of an administration over this.

And of course Congress can pat themselves on the back for looking like America is worth half a shit right now.

Wow your overwhelming altruism is melting my ice cold heart. Too bad we can't use that power to help our country, like for example moving funds from the military to basically anything... take your pick... and like do you really think we need the Trump administration fucking up more foreign affairs? I don't.


Do you actually believe the things you just wrote? It seems farcical.

Yeah. It's more likely Syria would retaliate. They have nothing to lose from all out war.

Except... the integrity of the government they've been fighting for the past seven years.

May and Macron are in on it too: https://t.co/w80Dk9Nrri


I recall seeing a poll where Brits overwhelmingly opposed a strike. Kind of surprised that May is getting involved.

May is a fucking loser who consistently makes dipshit decisions (see: the referendum designed to get her party more support but torpedoed their representation) and it's amazing she is still in charge of her own party.


You do realise the referendum happened because of Cameron? May didn't come to power until after that.

Not sure what troll site you're getting your news from, but multiple sources say that about a dozen missiles were intercepted but that most of the targets were hit.

Surely Russia intercepting our missiles is an act of war?

No. Nothing more will come from last night beyond some posturing and wordsmithing. The targets were picked specifically to avoid/minimize Russian casualties and the joint chiefs of staff were in active communications with their Russian counterparts. There won't be a war.

That same quote was thrown around last year, too. A year later and assad is still "on the verge of winning".

Get your bullshit /pol/ white hat conspiracy theory nonsense out of here.

The US entering a war over false pretenses and/or mistakes is nothing new.

-We entered WWI after the Lusitania was attacked, but the passenger ship was carrying munitions that were going to Germany's enemies.

-The Gulf of Tonkin attack that got us into Vietnam never actually happened.

-Operation Northwoods was shot down by Kennedy, but it was a proposed proposed false flag operation against the Cuban government that originated within the U.S. Department of Defense (I'm not saying that the US was behind the chemical attack).

-Iraq WMDs didn't exist.

The first casualty of war is the truth. Trump said he wanted to leave Syria days before the rebels got the attack they so desperately needed. And Assad was indeed winning.

Which Gulf of Tonkin attack are you talking about? The one on August 2nd certainly happened. The one on august 4 did not, McNamara has acknowledged that.

I didn't say there was a good chance. But they have weapons. In fact if I recall they have nukes. Being attacked by the US with no provocation is the retaliation.

Yes I know that there was an attack. I'm referring to the one that didn't occur and was declassified as such in 2004 or 2005.

There were materials for WMDs.
