Will Trump bomb Assad?

[ApatheticAustrian]

They don't. Only the Syrian people do. And the Syrian rebels are worse than Assad anyway.

wouldn't the guy who killed the most people and owns the most deadly weapons and uses those weapons not be the worst by default?

[ApatheticAustrian]

how crazy do some of you think putin is, that he would NUKE the free world to defend iran's playground?

[ApatheticAustrian]

So you learn nothing from Iraq and Lybia interventions.

watching the pro-US kurds conquering giant areas of northern syria against IS/AL-NUSRA/TURKEY seems like a very powerful approach.

i could also ask, if russia has learne anything since afghanistan.

[ApatheticAustrian]

If US planes start attacks on Assad positions, Russian systems will easily shoot down some of them.

possible, but that is part of every operation.

i guess all of us are on the same line, if the US really wanted to conquer Syria, it easily could. Would be harder if Russia REALLY pushed back but that is highly unlikely, imho.

and the russia contingent in syria has decreased a LOT since the last year....now the operation is mostly run by iranians.

[ApatheticAustrian]

By that logic, we should be bombing our own troops in Afghanistan.

i am not sure about that but afghanistan is a lose cause anyway. impossible country, just like russia.

[ApatheticAustrian]

btw......

i can totally respect sanchez's argument....

... i am just often baffled, how the military is usually far more right-wing than civilians even while those are far more willing to send soldiers into death.

maybe many soldiers disagree with the reasoning of paleo-conservatives and the pacifist left?

[ApatheticAustrian]

neocons usually are liberal in many ways and i haven't seen one who is praising trump in any way, cause he reeks of corruption.

[ApatheticAustrian]

If Pres. Trump takes appropriate action against Assad this #NeverTrumper will of course support him. He's the president, not merely "Trump."

point taken.

even while i guess, at this point, david frum is more of a truman democrat than a republican.

The US military will kill hundreds of thousands of people, create a power vaccum and a humanitarian crisis and pull out abruptly letting the whole region go to sh**t.

i think your opinion of syria at this point, after 6 years of civil war, is much too high.

Should I have voted for the man who can't decide to bomb or the woman who vowed to bomb from day one?

i would still prefer the lady who seems focused enough to organize such a thing but in your shoes? mister johnson.

needless to say, this should not surprise anyone with mister "kill their families"

[ApatheticAustrian]

He's got a long ways to go to equal the amount of Muslims his 4 predecessors killed.

regarding the number of bombs, he is in his second obama year after 11 weeks and before this little thing.

@NBCNews confirms more than 50 tomahawk missiles fired by US military into Syria

FWIW the operations under discussion seem to be cruise missile oriented rather than planes

NBC News: Only tomahawks missiles fired, no fixed wing aircraft involved

we got a winner.

[ApatheticAustrian]

i am thrilled to learn how trump was persuaded and by whom.

with a bizarre character like him, EVERY explanation could be possible, from being roleplaying "a tough guy" to "trying to bring that russia story to rest".

[ApatheticAustrian]

andrew kazynski is btw atm juxtaposing the opinion of politicans re: the new airstrike...and a possible one in 2013...incredibly partisan results.
