Validity. Alliance.
I'm not surprised. The idiots used chemical weapons....again. I'm just glad it wasn't a unilateral strike.
Point taken, Sir . panic mode watching the orange one telling me I'm better for Syria being bombed
The TV news should be buzzing...excuse my concern
Apologies
(And yes, the virtual keyboard goes in and out so I bounce between my comp and tablet.
Frustration doesn't begin to have meaning until the tablet tells you you didn't mean

The Western world took a stand when a spy and his daughter were poisoned - how could they not be consistent now?
I wonder how Russia will play this? The World Cup is in 2 months. If Putin wants to welcome the world to his doorstep and act like he's a friendly guy....what's he gonna do? Interesting.
Doubtful that might happen now...
More dominoes have to fall for there to be a war. Right now, Russia and Iran are alone. Iran is completely useless, and if they do anything, Israel will swat them like a bug. So....Russia is the only one worth any attention. The question is, what CAN they do? Will Putin jeopardize looking good this summer for his Syrian "ally"?
That is the question...
EDIT: I apologize for bucking the Rules, but I felt justified. Scary Shit commin down...
Wanted the Folk to know....

Oh good, we're getting more deeply involved. I'm sure this can only turn out well for the countries with more money.
Politicians who never learn from history are doomed to repeat it
WE bomb Syria yet sell arms to Saudi....you could not make this shit up!

Someone asked me yesterday, "What do you think about Syria?"
I said, "I don't know what to think."
I said, "I don't know what to think."
An international coalition is needed.
Syria was already a mess, even before the US interceded under Obama (2011?).
Even Candidate Sanders was up for reasoned foreign policy, as much as Clinton was given what she said during the campain. Trump's heart was in the right place, but since being elected he gets to deal with generals and intelligence closer than anyone here and few prior to the election would.

The article points out Sanders in support of a multinational coalition.
Sounds not unreasonable to me.
One can either abandon the country outright or try to fix it. The latter might lead to things getting better or worse. But people are free to convince that doing the former ends up with a nation of daisies and unicorns, pardon me while most of us won't agree with that fantasy. The one simplest fact still remains: It's been a mess, even before 2011 that prompted action.
Verbal posturing, some overly close fly-by of American warships, and that's probably about it. Putin won't do anything that will hurt his country financially.
America backing the UK recently (smart move Donald) showed the UK who it's buddy is.
The UN has been largely ineffective and irrelevant for decades, it's not a case of "becoming." Needs to be replaced (not fixed) with a organization that serves a purpose and has complete transparency.
Or the Syrians who don't want to live under Assad.
Or give support to Syrans, who would then (maybe/hopefully) fix the country themselves.
Is there anybody left who still believes this?
We don't know that...
