Trump Syria Bombing Megathread

[ProudModerate2]

Trump on Syria five years ago:
(Various trump Tweets.)

It's also worth to point out that these were basically Trump's positions on Syria last week.

That is pretty true.

So then what will be his positions next week? Time will only tell.

I would reply to you but you have an murderous thug in your signature for some odd reason ...

Has King Lear always responded in such "strange ways?"
Is s/he just trolling us, or what?

[ProudModerate2]

Deranged rant incoming ...

From the Orange Clown or King Lear?

Large explosions being heard and seen in Damascus now.

Does anyone know of a channel (website) that has any cameras in Damascus/Syria, which is displaying the incoming missiles and the damage in the area?

I'm watching Syrian news and they said Syrian forces are engaged with British and American forces.

Is it in English?
If it's via the net, can you please post a link.

In the Pentagon briefing, Mattis says this is a one off attack until such time as Assad uses chemical weapons again.  Dunford says the operation is already over now.

I wonder how many missiles hit their target, and how many were shot-down by the Syrian/Russian defense systems?

Some people on here and social media need to chill out. Putin isn't starting WWIII over Syria.

That's not how WWIII (if it ever comes) will start.
Neither side wants WWIII, or would just "start" WWIII, over something like tonight.
A nuclear exchange comes after a slow but steady escalation of events from BOTH SIDES. One side starts something small, the other reacts, they each step-up confrontation and ultimately one side "freaks-out" and launches (causing the other to do the same).
The entire cascading of military events, leading up to Earth's destruction, could take place over a number of days or even weeks.

PS: I'm not saying it will take place. But let's not diminish that tonight's events could be the spark to something we all don't want to see.

... The thing that causes me concern is the presence of John Bolton in the Trump Administration.

Fuzzy,
The "thing that causes concern" is not John Bolton in the trump Administration ... but is trump himself.

Besides, if we didn't have trump there wouldn't be no Bolton, or clowns like Ben Carson, or Russian operatives like Michael Flynn or presidential lawyers who specialize in paying porn stars for their silence.
It's one big circus full of chaos. Blame the ring leader and not the lions and "elephants."

John Bolton is a symptom. Trump is the infection.

In "Fuzzy language," it's like FuzzyBear saying "The thing that causes me concern is the presence of Satan's Minions," and not Lucifer himself (thus ignoring the big-elephant in the room).
