50+ Cruise Missiles just launched and hit Syria

From @SenSchumer: “Making sure Assad knows that when he commits such despicable atrocities he will pay a price is the right thing to do."

Thank God, soldiers at Al-Shayrat said no casualties. No Russians hit. Most missiles struck the same area on the airfield.

WHEW!!!

I don't want to get into conspiracies but I could imagine Putin/Trump having a talk and staging an attack.

For all we know, this was just a publicity stunt..especially if this was a one off thing.

For the record, I fully support this.

I hope my fellow leftists don't go back into full reflexive isolationist mode.

I guess naive leftism really does devolve into neoconservatism in the end - empirical fact exists in the social sciences after all.

And naive rightism?

Are people in this thread still acting like Trump dropped those bombs for any other reason than to boost his terrible poll numbers? C'mon, now.

This ignorant and spineless "for the children of the world" crap coming from the left is the same reason why AUMF for Iraq got 75 votes in the Senate (from the right, it's merely faux outrage being used to justify their typical lust for war).

Stop it.

Pretty much. Warming to Trump over this is a cuck move.

Could you imagine the "failed leadership" tp that would be hammered over an over again if this was a dem?

They didn't go after the runway; a Tomahawk isn't much good for that - they went after the Hardened Aircraft Shelters. Those are probably badly damaged and whatever was in them wrecked.

Fortunatly for Assad, everything that was in them was moved away a few hours before the strikes... somehow.

So the only victims of the airstrike were 6 Hezbollah terrorists and whoever who has been cuckholded into believing Trump more.
