I knew he was going to do something once Assad gassed his own people. This is the exact level of response I expected, which is the minimum amount needed.

I didn't think for a second he would flip that quickly. It honestly makes him look worse than he already does. So easily swayed. Heckler vs performer. Trump is slowly figuring out that he doesn't get to be the heckler any more. | ||

I've seen conflicting reports of "we don't know if Russian soldiers were hit" and "Russia was warned. No soldiers wounded". I would love some clarification here. | ||

He can't have done anything to upset Russia, they put him there according to Hillary(who 100% supported this response), so how/why would he be intentionally upsetting them? | ||

Edit: http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/06/politics/donald-trump-syria-military/index.html  Trump was very affected by the images of dead children among the civilian casualties in the Syrian chemical weapons attack and felt compelled to act, a senior administration official said. Someone should show him some pictures of children starving in Yemen and he might send some missiles into Saudi Arabia. Maybe some pictures of North Korea will leak out, and he can send them some missiles as well. | ||

Well, if I was facing impeachment (let's not fool ourselves. There are now 4 investigations into this. It's pretty fuckin' concrete at this point. They're just trying to get the smoking gun), I would probably look to do something that at least gives the appearance that the story is false. And at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Putin would sacrifice a dozen or so of his people to help Trump. Not that I have any information suggesting this. Just saying. | ||

I am pretty sure the staff is with him. The President travels over seas and has to handle military buisness while over there. Florida an't shit. | ||

Link to map So there's 23 hangars(by my count), and I guess they blow up the runway and adjacent buildings with the rest? Seems like a reasonable use of 50+ missiles I guess. | ||
