Forum Trump Supporters Please Weigh In On Syria Bombing Without War Declaration

[newbitech]

Honestly, I really don't care much what happens to Syrians. In a world of 7 billion people, I can't get all teary eyed about a few dozen people I don't know. It's not that I'm happy about it, it's a shame, but it's not my concern.

yeah that's called desensitization. I am sorry to hear anyone say that.

True. But where does desensitization end and selective outrage begin? Why are these innocent deaths more important than any other innocent deaths in the world during the past week? Oh yeah...a reason was needed to change policy in Syria. I forgot.

I agree. I also hurt for the 500,000 dead Iraqi children from U.S. sanctions under Clinton.

I'm not one to hope for revenge because there is usually collateral damage but I understand your sentiment.

Totally agree.

I wish I could say it was unamerican but it seems to be what we do as of late. I agree that it's unconstitutional.

True. This attack cost us 50 tomahawk missiles at $1.5 million a piece.

Yep...yep...in my life there was a respite between Vietnam and Grenada. I remember the Clint Eastwood movie "Heartbreak Ridge" about Grenada. (A false flag war if there ever was one.) In that movie, before the Grenada invasion, Clint Eastwood and another jarhead were bemoaning being "0-1-1", losing Vietnam, tying Korea and no "wins." It seems that we wanted a war just to be able to say we "won." And now we've gotten drunk on "winning."

Yep.

Perhaps a stalled domestic agenda made war look more attractive?

or the entire aborted generation. we live in a world that is lacking of any sort of accountability it seems. I hope for justice. an eye for an eye. unconstitutional === unamerican in my view. wars also use up lives and resources that would otherwise contribute to the world economy as a whole. there are no winners in war. only those who stop the losing. yeah no doubt trump needed a victory somewhere. anyone who sees that as a victory tho probably doesnt realize how bad a shape the economy is in. usa corner getting smaller on all sides it would seem.

I suspect the two go hand in hand. they aren't more or less important, it's just what is happening today. cause and effect, endless cycle of bloodshed. reasons.

Maybe. As far as targeting Shias, that's kind of tough as the people we put in power in Iraq are Shias. We seem to flip flop between Shias and Sunnis and religious minorities like Christians get caught in the middle.

Iraq is the one exception because Shias are the sizable majority in Iraq. Every other place, it is the US and its Jihadi friends in the GCC, Jordan and Israel fighting shias.

It's something necessary to live a happy, healthy life. There has always been suffering in the world. To care too much about people who aren't related to you is not healthy. The best thing from a psychological point is to care enough that you don't do any harm, and that you will help if you are there, but to not care so much that you are upset over the hundreds of people who die every second.

Huge blunder.

Is he another political slave of neocons like DGP?

President Pence? What good does that do?

Except there were innocent people killed all around the world on the same day. There is a reason for the disproportionate coverage of some deaths over others.

Team McCain just got back from Syria, I would bet they probably placed the sarin gas at the target or possibly gave it to the rebels to launch when Assad attacked them.

McCain is a sarin broker? And he needed to be there in person to do the heavy lifting?

well, its been a global hotspot for quite some time now. any escalation in that part of the world is going to attract the maggot media.

How long has Congo been a global hotspot?

for as long as they country has used nerve gas on it's citizens and been global exporters of it's insane ideology i suppose.

Is death by nerve gas really worse than death by machete? I think I'd take the gas. It depends on how many chops until death though.

It's pretty much President Pence right now. If he saw Trump get impeached he'd be less likely to bomb countries on a whim.

I can hardly see any upside to Trump anymore. I was never a "supporter" though. Just optimistic on some issues.

Here's a change of heart for you

 

[misterx]

It's pretty much President Pence right now. At least he'd be less likely to bomb countries on a whim.

You know it was probably Pence who pushed Trump to do this? He's as war hungry as McCain.

Clarified what I meant but I was too slow

Ok, that makes more sense. The bombings won't stop though. Pence would be guaranteed to escalate it right into WW3. Trump, at least, may have reservations about a full scale invasion.

Good for Paul Joseph Watson, he can do what he wants, and he's not the only one throwing Trump under the bus tonight. If I was in his position I'd be saying the same thing. Trump needs to get the message that this is unacceptable.
