Gas Attack In Syria - Nebuchadnezzar - 04-09-2018

Syrian Gas Attack Over Weekend

Backed by Russia, Syria is rather bold and Israel took action, even though it wasn't that much action.



What do you think should happen in Syria, what should the United States do about it?

The POTUS already said we are pulling out of Syria.

I get the feeling we are going to toss a few missiles their way

Which some wonks I have seen talking about this said emboldened Syria a bit to do this. I don't necessarily buy it, but I just wanted to throw that into the conversation.

I wonder if we will warn them Russia ahead of time, again, so they can make sure there are no casualties. Then, of course, revert to ignoring that whole situation so that they don't feel like we really care.

I've got a feeling whatever we do about half of the population will think it's wrong.

I remember last time he bombed Syria folks immediately started saying the reaction was too severe. Then a couple days later it was discovered that Russia was notified in advance of the bombing, the exact same population started arguing it was too soft.

Personally, if Chemical Weapons were used I think there should be a coalition of UN forces that take Military action against Syria.

I believe that would require a vote from the Security Council, which would almost certainly be vetoed by Russia.

Reason number 5,872 why the UN is worthless.

Syria is about to sit on the committee for the regulation of chemical and biological weapons.

We should pull our money from the whole deal.

Its Obama's fault. There, problem solved.

No doubt the previous administration could have been much more proactive in Syria; but to say it's all Obama's fault is quite simplistic.

He also pulled out of Stormy Daniels and look at what a mess that has been.



Seriously, though, Russia is trying everything they can to prevent any serious inquiry into. Definitely a way better country than Germany.

How convenient a week after the President said he wanted to leave, there’s a reason to stay...

Totallly.

Trump changed his mind when he found out HE was responsible now.

Clueless.

For context, that tweet in 2013 came immediately after Assad launched a chemical attack on his own people, killing hundreds and injuring thousands more.

As I say:  Trump is clueless.

Just like him saying "we won't tell the enemy what WE will do" and then announcing we are pulling out of Syria.

For additional context Trump was hosting a celebrity reality TV and hosting Beauty Pageants in 2013. Anyone who took note of his political thoughts back then really needed to adjust the folks they were paying attention to. 

I'm just spitballing here but the more important point may be what the Obama administration do in response to this attack not what a celebrity tweeted.

Anything 5 years ago is apparently off the table because he was just hosting pageants. Criticizing anything he currently does is "petty" even though he is the President.

Call me crazy, but yeah, I put very little stock into anything Donald Trump said 5 years ago while he was hosting a reality talk show.

BTW you mistyped everything you accidentally put in anything. Hell ,I know I criticize a good deal of what Trump does, just not sure if I'm willing to entertain quotes from him before he ever had a job in politics; I understand I am in the minority here on that POV.

If you say so.

Seems to me the current POTUS doesn't take personal blame for anything and his supporters cover for him.
