Yes, Trump should be able to kill people in a sovereign nation. What if I went to Canada and bombed civilians? I would be a terrorist, but America doing the same thing? That’s just the way we roll! Who cares about international law!
“I” did not threaten your tweeter-in-chief. I said he will bring it upon himself, his family, or us. The same thing happened then the Germans thought they were oh-so-smart and funded and transported Communist terrorists into Russia in WW1. What happened in 1945? Doesn’t seem so smart of them now does it?
He didn’t hit civilians though, reports say he targeted an air base believed to have delivered the gas attack, and it was a strategic attack, not designed to maximize loss of life, but to destroy aircraft and such which he believes were used in the gas attack. It was a warning against the use of Chemical weapons, as to whether Assad is responsible for the gas attack, I have my doubts, all I can do is pray.
Your comments fall on deaf ears and you might enjoy being in my ignore room
Were any Americans affected by this SUPPOSED “gas attack”? Then what business is it of his if that’s how Assad deals with rebels, the same rebels, I might add, who kill you and sell your organs in a heartbeat and enslave your sister? Actually, now that I think about it, Americans probably were affected if this attack was real; there were probably CIA thugs “advising” the rebels!
Much more important is addressing this heinous act by the Assad regime.
But you DID wish harm. You didn’t say “I think this is a bad idea” or “I think this will lead to blowback” or “I think this will ultimately come back to bite us.” You said that you hoped Trump and his family were murdered. That’s miles over the line. As much as I don’t like Trump on a personal level, and while I didn’t vote for him and almost certainly never will, I don’t like threats directed at the President either.
Here, here!
The President has authority to act militarily without Congress if he feels that the national security is at risk. A hostile nation with biochemical weapons and the capability to transport such weapons around the globe to other hostile nations certainly counts as a threat to the national security. The whole slaughtering children thing, while deserving of unequivocal condemnation and retribution, is simply secondary.
You need to research these things called Tomahawk Missiles. A big feature? They don’t miss their targets. If you’re saying that civilians were harmed in the airstrike, then you need to get your news from somewhere else because that’s ridiculous.
And the military intervention also sets a precedent against the use of internationally proscribed weapons of an indiscriminate nature.
Neo-con liars are going to lead us to war over “gasses” as fake as Iraq’s “weapons of mass destruction”. That’s quite significant in my opinion.
If Trump hadn’t acted, it would have delivered the message to a global audience that chemical weapons can be used with impunity and without fear of just reprisal or punishment, whether against one’s own people or abroad, in violation of the common accord of the international community which has proscribed these weapons since the 1925, “Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare”.
