Keep in mind ya'll, this is pretty small compared to options people have been talking about. Wait for further developments before freaking out completely.
Well that's expensive.
Also we very nearly did this in August 2013 after that one big chemical attack, I was on one of the ships out there that would have fired tomahawks had we gotten Obama's order. Guess we are seeing a major difference in the way Trump handles things versus Obama.
Well, Congress was screaming at Obama to do something. He asked Congress for authorization and suddenly they we're very quiet. Politically, it was the best move Obama could make. Had Obama done anything, it would have been a shit storm from the GOP. And it was the best move because Congressional approval is needed for war... we kind of need to get back to that.
Why the fuck is he in Mar-A-Lago when this shit is going on? Holy Fuck, this is fucking unbelievable, dude's relaxing like a goddamn king in his fucking club when he might have just started a war!
The president could literally do this from anywhere he happens to be. Anyway, I think it will be interesting to see his demeanor over the next few days.
