Support NeoGAF

[ShadowSwordmaster]

CNN reporting the airfield was the source of the chemical attack and this was an effort to disable its operations.

So it was just that one airport then?

 

[Shaneus]

By the way that was over $70 million in missiles.

Jesus christ. As if any more layers to this could make it worse.

 

[Scrooged]

She said lt like literally a couple of hours ago too, and yet you still have people rushing in to make fools of themselves

It's embarrassing. People are simply anti-whatever-Trump-does even if it matches up with their side.

Or are people that ignorant on Hillary's foreign policy? hmm...

Watch the so-called 'liberals' and #nevertrumpers start doing war apologia

If Pres. Trump takes appropriate action against Assad this #NeverTrumper will of course support him. He's the president, not merely "Trump."

 

[ironcreed]

But for real. Did we just declare war on Syria?

You don't just bomb their airfields and just say "It was just a message".

This is the beginnings of taking out the Assad regime imo.

Well, I would think that they will definitely respond... then it's like ping pong.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Welp here we go I guess.

 

[HanShotFirst]

no. If I'm not mistaken, the President has authority for attacks like these, but someone more informed than me could give you a better answer.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

WHY is he not in WASHINGTON!!!?

Can't charge the taxpayers exorbitant fees to keep him breathing if he is in Washington

 

[dave is ok]

If he attacked the airfield where the planes carrying the chemical weapons took off from, I think that's an appropriate action. Let's hope Syria doesn't further agitate with more chemical weapons

 

[fluffydelusions]

Wtf

 

[Hidden One]

WWIII?

 

[studyguy]

The number is 70 missiles now apparently.

[WedgeX]

Russia already basically disowned them after the latest chemical attack. They convinced Assad not to fuck with Obama but I guess he took Trump less seriously

Ahh I had not seen that about Russia.

So just potentially Syria.

 

[peteykirch]

As messed up as what has happened in Syria with the war crimes and what not, however there is no reason for US to get involved until US citizens are harmed.

 

[Strimei]

It's Thursday.

...so it is.

Ok so its been a long ass week for me.

 

[Ac30]

Bingo.

Everyone would be just as freaked out.

 

[EstoyBlackWaldo]

Wonder if he got approval. Still, wow this is fucking ridiculous.

 

[NullPointer]

Honestly, I'd call that a good thing. The operation is likely to be better-run the less involved he is.

Except for the whole aspect of having some kind of political resolution or strategy for what to do following these strikes.

And that's beside any reports on casualties.

 

[RPGCrazied]

No, he didn't get approval, I said it does require approval.

Then he should get in trouble for this?

 

[Cyanity]

By the way that was over $70 million in missiles.

Was gonna ask. So Trump is gonna forego further Mar a Lago visits to pay for them, right?

 

[Kyzer]

is everyone so wrapped up in pointing out every time Trumps dumb ass is being a hypocrite that they dont actually have any sort of feelings about anything other than opposing everything he does?

this is an incredibly nuanced issue to just be making sarcastic russia investigation and trump tweet jokes

 

[d1rtn4p]

Let's get em!

 

[gondwana]

edit - yeah nvm

 

[MattKeil]

Look at a calendar, its Friday evening now.

That's why.

But it's Thursday.

 

[Boke1879]

It's embarrassing. People are simply anti-whatever-Trump-does even if it matches up with their side.

Or are people that ignorant on Hillary's foreign policy? hmm...

The difference. Hillary isn't President. Trump is. He authorized this. I could give two fucks what she or anyone else said. It's on him.

 

[JordanN]

Is Assad gonna whine to Putin to save him?

How can he, when his hands are full?

 

[Zeus Molecules]

As messed up as what has happened in Syria with the war crimes and what not, but there is no reason for US to get involved until US citizens are harmed.

Lol you think this is going to be the end of it. He finally found something that will get people to stop talking about Russia

 

[Strimei]

But it's Thursday.

Yeah, that...that's egg on my face, there.

Lemme go stuff my foot in my mouth.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Silver lining: TheDonald is shook too

 

[Lime]

Good. Fuck the Syrian president.

One way to "fuck the Syrian president" would be to take in refugees and do more humanitarian aid.

But I guess it's easier just to Bomb the country instead?

 

[iMax]

But for real. Did we just declare war on Syria?

Don't think that's officially possible without the UN.

 

[TankRizzo]

Wonder if he got approval. Still, wow this is fucking ridiculous.

How so? Syrian government deserves every part of this

 

[Fat4all]

im shocked he's at his golf resort yet again during all this

shocked, i tell you

 

[AcademicSaucer]

website update, Russia knew

Maybe the syrians too and everyone got the fuck out to let Trump has his victory

 

[jay]

She said lt like literally a couple of hours ago too, and yet you still have people rushing in to make fools of themselves

That's because people believe in supporting shitty Democrats, not because they believe in knee-jerk, violent diplomacy.

 

[Blablurn]

Damn. So it begins.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

WWIII?

Yup. WW3. Get ready for the draft folks.

 

[Frozenprince]

Silver lining: TheDonald is shook too

Shit out of everything even I figured he'd never go to war in Syria.

 

[ATF487]

That seems like a lot of missles

 

[Sean C]

Except for the whole aspect of having some kind of political resolution or strategy for what to do following these strikes.

Political resolution and strategy are also more likely to happen the less involved he is.

 

[ZOONAMI]

The difference. Hillary isn't President. Trump is. He authorized this. I could give two fucks what she or anyone else said. It's on him.

People in here are really overblowing this. They hit a Syrian military airbase. It is a pretty well measured response.

 

[quesalupa]

As messed up as what has happened in Syria with the war crimes and what not, but there is no reason for US to get involved until US citizens are harmed.

Wtf? I'm sure Trump is doing this for all the wrong reasons but what the fuck is this? You think our lives matter more than theirs?

[fluffydelusions]

WHY is he not in WASHINGTON!!!?

Because golf

 

[JABEE]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

 

[Kyzer]

apparently there might be an international coalition effort to remove assad in motion after this

 

[LiK]

Silver lining: TheDonald is shook too

Their hearts were stolen.

 

[kaskade]

Trump probably barely had anything to do with this decision. I'm sure Mattis and McMaster were moreso behind the decision.

I don't know why everyone is freaking out though. This seems like an appropriate response.

 

[Scrooged]

The difference. Hillary isn't President. Trump is. He authorized this. I could give two fucks what she or anyone else said. It's on him.

So you think attacking Syria in any way as punishment for using chemical weapons (on civilians no less) is inherently bad?

 

[TankRizzo]

One way to "fuck the Syrian president" would be to take in refugees and do more humanitarian aid.

But I guess it's easier just to Bomb the country instead?

I'm completely ok with this. Taking in refugees doesn't solve the problem for those who didn't leave.
