How come world leaders never bombed the Soviet Union, Communist China et al. when they were slaughtering their own people in the tens of millions? Answer: Those slaughters were much more humane than gassing children.

US, Russian ambassadors spar at UN Security Council meeting
“World leaders” threw bouquets at President Trump. Two “national leaders” —— Putin and Hassan Rouhani —— threw stink bombs.
Russia predictably denounced the strike as an “act of aggression against a UN member,” warning that the move could end cooperation between the Russian and US military branches.
“Russia will demand an urgent UN Security Council meeting after the US airstrike on Syrian aviation base. This is an act of aggression against a UN member,” the Kremlin stated, adding that it was an act of “aggression against a sovereign state in violation of international law.”
Iran, too, “strongly condemned the US strike” and suggested that the action would lead to increased terror activity.

On the plus side Putin can and will veto United Nations participation in any international coalition.
I tried to find out if the United Nations will be in charge of Tillison’s international coalition for Syria. The only thing I learned is that it is the best kept secret in the media.
My bet is on the US military being ordered to engage in a little democracy-building for the United Nations.

Sen. Paul: We didn't have the debate, we simply went to war
Senator Paul better push to get this country out of the United Nations because the U.S. Congress has not declared war since 1941.
The Korean War was a United Nations Police Action. The United Nations did not sanction the Vietnam War.
The Korean War was sanctioned by the United Nations; therefore, the American Left had their hands tied. American Communists could not protest a military action against the spread of Communism without criticizing the UN. The Vietnam War was not sanctioned by the United Nations; therefore; American Communists were free to bring defeat their own country.
Putin is not going to repeat Stalin’s mistake:
President Truman said this about stopping Communist expansion in Korea:
We've got to stop the sons of bitches, no matter what, and that's all there is to it.
Truman jumped on the Soviet Union’s failure to attend a Security Council meeting; so he took the opportunity to stop Communist expansion by manipulating the UN; hence, a UN Police Action rather than a declared war. Had the Soviets attended the one and only Security Council meeting they ever missed, they would have vetoed Truman’s military opposition to North Korea’s aggression.
Incidentally, President Truman was right in stopping Communism, but he was wrong in getting the UN’s approval.

It will be interesting to see where Trump goes with Syria?
