Great fact. Is it possible they're thinking about runways, etc, as opposed to planes?

Runways are kinda easy to fix. Planes not so much.

Runways are not easy to fix. They're expensive infrastructure and if they were fixed you could simply repeat the action.

So, why exactly do we need to intervene in Syria? Of all the shitty situations around the world, why does this one warrant our attention?

Because we don't win enough, dammit, and we have to stop the evil man from doing the evil thing.

Because TRUMP wants to be STRONG instead of being weak like obama. This will make everyone FEAR AMERICA again, instead of them all laughing at the US like they did for the last 8 years.
Also he is always WINNING. And if you ever wanna fix the issues of this world by going to war, you should always do this with a leader who is a guaranteed WINNER. (nothing sucks more than going to war and losing).

You only have to hope Trump doesn't get tired of winning before its over...

Chemical weapons are bad. Any government using them is bad. The UN and NATO said don't do it, so they need to back that up. Otherwise we are going to get dictators trying to develop more of these. We really should have done this in 2013, but everyone wanted to just let is work itself out.

In all seriousness, spider senses tell me that this is a Mattis pet project.

what the fuck

Ignoring the million other questions, is this within Trump's power? Doesn't he have to go through congress to authorise a strike like this?

May people agree that he should have gone through congress, just like Obama had to. But as other said, Trump wants to appear strong and apparently attacking another government is how he is going to do it.

Expect more of this.

Likely a ship of some form, in the ocean. That is where they normally launch form.

From a warship. That airport was where the chemical weapons were deployed from so presumably this will be the extent of the action.

Yep. Trump responded and looked strong by firing a bunch of missiles at a base. And maybe they might do some damage that matters. Or will just be repaired in 2 months.

There was no immediate word on casualties. U.S. officials told NBC News that people were not targeted and that aircraft and infrastructure at the site, including the runway, were hit.


I think it's fair to say it's intended as a warning. This is pretty much the minimum action required to punish the regime for crossing a red line. Obama should have done the same.

He requested authorization from congress to do so. It was denied. Your government voted the same way.
