Trump's Second Foreign Policy Crisis: Syria

[para bellum]

IMIO In My Inexpert Opinion---Syria is in such turmoil right not that the
best move is TAKE COVER and WAIT AND SEE

Syria is a no-win scenario for the US.

Dems learned nothing from Iraq. Not one fucking thing.

no---the SYRIA thing is not the same as the Iraq thing. We are
already IN SYRIA and now---Israel is sorta in via Mount Hermon
and Golan. AND Russia is IN----Bashar is there (probably).
Iran is IN---using Syria as a weapons CONDUIT over to Lebanon
and Gaza. Turkey is IN. DA KURDS is IN Syria is already a
world war

Regime change has been the US policy in Syria since Obama (minus the 4 years of Trump).

That is NOT the business we should be in. The US has been stoking the civil war there with absolutely no plan for the aftermath.

Ring any bells?

Well, there is regime change. Islamists now control Syria. They hate the US, naturally...

yes-----which means we are ALREADY IN. Right now the people IN CONTROL in Syria are part of THE AXIS

Too many to count.

No simp, notification so Putin would get his own people put of harms way, and know that strike was not directed at him.

I know you clowns all want to be at war with Russia- fortunately Trump has a shitload more brains than any of you...

"Nothing of importance"...

U.S. Central Command stated in a press release that Tomahawk missiles hit "aircraft, hardened aircraft shelters, petroleum and logistical storage, ammunition supply bunkers, defense systems, and radars".[30] Initial U.S. reports claimed "approximately 20 planes" were destroyed, and that 58 out of the 59 cruise missiles launched "severely degraded or destroyed" their intended target.[31][32] According to the satellite images the runways[33] and the taxiways have been reportedly undamaged and combat flights from the attacked airbase resumed on 7 April a few hours after the attack, although U.S. officials did not state that the runway was a target.[34][14] In a later statement on 10 April 2017, the US Secretary of Defense James Mattis claimed that the strike destroyed about 20% of the Syrian government's operational aircraft and the base had lost the ability to refuel or rearm aircraft.[35]

An independent bomb damage assessment conducted by ImageSat International counted hits on 44 targets, with some targets being hit by more than one missile; these figures were determined using satellite images of the airbase 10 hours after the strike. Among the targets struck was a 2K12 Kub (SA6) missile battery composed of five elements.[5]

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strike damaged over a dozen hangars, a fuel depot, and an air defense base.[36][37]

Al-Masdar News reported that 15 fighter jets were damaged or destroyed and that the destruction of fuel tankers caused several explosions and a large fire.[38]

"Nothing of importance"

Well apparently that warning got spread around because attacks were launched from that airbase just hours after our missiles hit

Great job Trump

 

[para bellum]

yes-----which means we are ALREADY IN. Right now the people IN CONTROL in Syria are part of THE AXIS

The HTS is in control of Syria, to the extent anyone can be called "in control".

They are a designated terrorist organization and consider the US an enemy. How do you think that will work out for us?

There is no AXIS. It is 5 or 6 separate groups who are at war with each other as much as they were at war with Assad.

 

[mudwhistle]

Oh man. Trump is going to give aid to Assad, isn’t he.

Doubtful.

I hope Israel launches airstrikes on their asses before they can get settled.

Yes, it was a measured response, not an attempt to take down the Assad regime or go to war with Russia.

So sorry that disappoints you.

Of course they operated again as soon as they could to show the strike was "not effective". But it was, and they did not use chemical weapons in that attack you are talking about.

And Moscow screamed and shouted about the strike, but took no action against US forces in Syria or US warships in the Med.

We believed they used chlorine again a year later, and they got the same treatment. And that was the end of Assad's use of chemical weapons.

Trump did not fear Putin, and he was not controlled by Putin. When he needed to show force, he showed force. That is the record, deal with it.

Don't expect it.

Trump is trying to calm the parties now, he will not want Israel to go on the offensive. Now if the HTS gets frisky with Israel, that will be a different story...

Erdo is going to be a key player in whatever happens next.

All you got pissing and moaning about the past?

SO? the mass of rubble is "ANTI-USA" at its core----when the smoke
clears---SYRIA will be an enemy of the USA----along with Russia, Turkey,
Iran (and its proxies) etc----to wit, the AXIS

Don't expect it.

YES----it's all in Erdogan's ballpark----the Syrians are in turmoil----
Erdogan is going to JUMP INTO THE VACUUM

 

[para bellum]

Well we saw YOU lying

No, you tried to take my statement out of context because that's how TDS losers like you roll.

You took ONE sentence, and ignored the entire post and the one it was responding to, and pretended it meant something entirely different.

FAIL.
