we really don't know what's going on. we have to trust our military and commander in chief. it certainly is no time to criticise either.

Not the first time a president has used military action in the face of deepening political/personal crises at home.

No but this is our policy. It gets a pass. The dumb thing is Twitter beef which will now require Russia to respond in some way... likely Ukraine.

Yep......the Russian Navy steamed out of ports in the area 3 days ago......I hope that’s a sign of things to come.
Trump’s red lines are real

What do you call NATO without the US in it?
The Iron Curtain.

Even Trump admitted he didn't know what he was talking about when he said it. Euro tech is as good as ours sans the F22 but that thing is meant to fight aliens. European spending was also on the rise prior to Trump.
Russian fleet has been on alert though since last month... nothing new and was in response to Ukrainian developments. Now they will probably make a goodwill stop in Syria.

Protecting America's most vital interests 
Meet the new boss same as the old boss. When will these endless Mideast wars end. What do the deficit hawks say?

I believe that if Trump didn't bomb Syria, he would have lost all credibility with North Korea.

He really didn't have a choice. He had to do it. He made a total ass out of himself in the lead-up to it and the overall backlash will be worse because of it.
BUT
He does get high marks for consistency on this issue unlike the previous administration.
