Utterly Mad

I'm pretty sure the whole thing is a setup. Not only did the left not care that Obama was bombing Syria, the Russians didn't either. Combine that with the huge numbers of troops the rest of the world is pumping into Poland and around the black sea, and it kinda feels like something is up that has much less to do with Syria than would be immediately evident.

The other thing to consider is that there's UN-documented evidence of both sides using chemical weapons since 2013. This isn't new or even unreported.

Without getting too detailed, I'd suggest keeping an eye on Turkey and seeing what happens there.

Though I gotta say:

"OH NOES, GAS ATTACKS! TRUMP SHOULD DO SOMETHING!"

*Trump does something*

"WARMONGERING ASSHOLE! WHY WOULD HE BOMB SYRIA? NO ONE WANTED HIM TO DO ANYTHING!"

The left are fun people.

so after this post let's move this to the political discussion thing


as someone who initially was pissed about the attack I am much less so now that I've gotten more info. Initially why I was pissed about the attack was that it was presented as having done nothing.

In truth it looks like severe damage was done, though nothing that disallows the use of the airfield since the bombs neccessary to do that amount of damage are evidently only capable of being used from manned planes which we didn't want to risk. So something was actually accomplished, but most places are presenting it as nothing of value was done which is why I think a lot of people are pissed about it.
