Trump orders strikes against Syria

[1bad65]

WASHINGTON, April 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday ordered precision strikes targeting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's chemical weapons capabilities after a poison gas attack that killed at least 60 people last week.

Trump said a combined operation with France and Britain was under way and that they were prepared to sustain the response until Syria stopped its use of chemical weapons.

"A short time ago, I ordered the United States Armed Forces to launch precision strikes on targets associated with the chemical weapons capabilities of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad," Trump said in a televised address from the White House.

"These are not the actions of a man. They are crimes of a monster instead," Trump said referring to Assad and his role in the chemical weapons attacks.

As he spoke, explosions were heard in Damascus.

i can't ride with trump on this one. this is stupid and makes him look weak to his base, he caved to the neo-cons. those pieces of **** are licking their chops right now along with the usual leftards in the lounge like it's a game. better hope that he's actually colluding with Russia or this is going to be really bad if Russia escalates.

yeah this is not good. he wont get re elected after this garbage,

trump caved to the neo-cons but he hasn't caved on the economy and immigration to the neo-libs. those two issues are a lot more important for a bigger % of his base. he probably split the base 60/40 with this move. but strategical strikes ain't a full blown war. the ball is in Russia's court now whether they want one.

Really wish they would stop bombing Syria and just start bombing California instead

Trump's entire foreign policy plan was derailed by swamp he claimed he would go down fighting

You want closer ties with Russia? We will cripple your presidency by accusing you of being a Russian spy

You want peace in Syria? The "extended-campus Israelis" who own 90% of the US television media will have nice talk to you about that

He was the right choice since voting for Hillary would have been voting directly for this. I guess we should consider it a victory that he at least stalled business as usual for one year before becoming our 10th consecutive Israeli president?
