60 missiles and 21 bases. I'm quite confident the most powerful military in the world got the ones that matter.
I see. So insults. That's what you've resorted to instead of a rational argument about how we are realistically supposed to bring in thousands of refugees and care for them. I guess that means I've won this argument.
And that air defense system just got 59 real world pieces of data on how to track our cruise missiles. Valuable information to have if you were thinking about attacking somewhere else like... the Ukraine?
Again.....I'm quite confident our military got what mattered. They aren't perfect, but they're the best in the world.
SO MAKE SOME FUCKING PLANS. You think any of those other countries that are taking them in (Turkey, for example, has taken in literally MILLIONS) have great plans? This is just like when the US turned away Jews fleeing the holocaust. Refugees: "Help us! We're dying!" US: "Sorry, this is a lifeboat and it's ours. Find your own lifeboat" Refugees: "Lifeboat? This is a massive luxury ocean liner and you're using about 1/10th of the cabins!" US: "You say potato, we say potato. Now fuck off back where you came from. Now you've dissed us we might bomb you, too."
We weren't bombing Iraq or Syria or Pakistan in Jan. 2009. Libya is significant because the president, urged by the Secy of State, interfered in the civil war of a nation we had zero national interest in, caused a regime change, and generally destroyed that nation. Syria followed that same logic. The Sunni crackdown after 2009 is the only one related to our actions in Syria. Iraq was at peace by then, the Sunni were our allies and there was no longer any sectarian violence going on. There was no ISIS, Al Qaeda in Iraq was almost entirely eliminated. https://www.theatlantic.com/interna...mas-disastrous-iraq-policy-an-autopsy/373225/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...46fd632f9f1_story.html?utm_term=.c06bb6ac2096 http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/04/obama-iraq-116708 And many more.
I wasn't criticizing our military, lol. I know we're the best. How do you know this was a military and not a political response? The military likes to deal with objectives and results. I imagine our generals had a much more comprehensive plan. Did our attack destroy where the chemical weapons were made? No. Did our attack destroy or kill the person or persons who ordered the attack? No. Did our attack do anything to prevent the future use of chemicals against Syrians? No. We attacked where the chemicals were launched from.
Not exactly Libertarian, but I agree with him that congress should declare war if we're going to go to war. However, there is the War Powers Act that does authorize Trump's actions.
Agree, at the very least, this was a play by Putin to test Trump. Call it a scouting mission. Right now, Putin is two moves ahead in this chess game, and reading our game plan. As far as Assad goes, he runs his country in way that builds his personal wealth. For him, this is about power and money, not about the quality of life for his countryman. He will do what ever it takes to keep his billions, and get more. His tyranny started in 1982 in the town of Hama.
1/10th of those cabins can go to help the millions living in poverty here in the US. But you obviously don't care about THEM. Remind me who's the selfish one here? LMAO. Right. And rioting, breaking the law, and being conflicted about your genitals are hallmarks of a Hillary voter.
