Not with a won war, and with full russian support behind him

We cannot continue to support states that can clearly support themselves.

and of course, the moment an accusation is made, Israel does a missile strike

Assad may not have directly called for the use of chemical weapons. but he has them. he could have people in positions of power within the military that are out of control. it's entirely possible.

this couldn't be more obviously people scrambling to have an excuse

It's possible but it's unlikely

all Assad does is deny everything as US propaganda

it's far more likely that it was either faked or done by the rebels rhemselves

and uh

easy job at that

given the sheer amounts of BS US propaganda out there

If the US has to intervene for every humanitarian crisis on the planet, we might as well be the global government.

Assad is not some benevolent leader

He's way better than the alternatives

AKA fucking islamists

but then again this is not a question of benevolence

those fucking islamists 😠

it's not about intervening in every humanitarian crises

this is a question of "why would Assad do something that benefits his opponents with a predictable outcome because it literally happened last year"

perhaps you're not familiar with chemical weapons

It's shameful to prioritize the wars abroad over our own.

The whole issue reeks

it's not that. NATO is supposed to be a defense against Russia. if Russia is defending a regime that is using chemical weapons, it makes perfect sense that there would be some kind of military action

Trump was right to have included France and the UK

"defense"

Include

but w/e.

Why not assist?

or Help?

We are still a leader if we let the NATO states lead themselves from time to time.

Teach a man to fish ffs.

Trump didn't act too badly given this was basically a wristswat in order not to lose face

but the entire claim is BS

It reeks of back-room deals.

it's France and England's fuckery mainly, too

just like Libya was

that is what happened though, it was led by the US and involved UK and France. two very capable air forces

yep.

anyhow, off I go ack

What if it's 4d chess to trick the towelheads in Europe to do terrorism, and finally get citizens to boot them out?

It's interesting how the oil / gas pipelines always come into play when sanctions are thrown.
