Same as in the other thread.
What in the actual f)(#????
News breaks that Syria used gas on children, next day were launching missiles at their infrastructure. Preceded by HRC coming out of the basement to say "Hay guyz!! I would totally lauch missiles at their airfields!"
Red flags should be raised in minds across the world.
Clinton made her statements hours ago calling for strikes and now it's happening. She seemed to know before the rest of us. Definitely red flags.

Anti-Trumpsters can not concieve that Trump knows more than they do and they yell on the internet that Trump doesn't know what he's doing.
When it's been a long time coming and Obama should have done it.

Trump cares about people. He was visibly upset seeing the images of children harmed and killed by the chemical attacks.
He did something about it.

Doesn't this mean that we are now officially/directly at war against Syria?
Or at least, made a direct act of war?
I'm not sure if the US has ever attacked Syria directly.
Correct me if I'm wrong!
Edit:
Also, what about congress?
My friend told me about some resolution made during Vietnam that allows a president to use military force without congressional approval for 30 days

Yes. Destroying Syria will certainly stop the rise of radical Islamism...

I'm sorry but where was even the slightest hint of approval from Congress? This literally went down with 24-48 hours and nothing was even ran by Congress? Does this #ing clown understand how this #ing country works!???
Even further, where is the uproar by Congress over not getting any kind of approval?
Didn't Trump just say, the other day, that he was Americas President...not President of the World!? I sure as # don't see it.
I guess you forgot when Obama attacked Libya without congressional approval. The president does have the authority to take such an action.

I think Putin will let Trump slide on this. It was a targeted strike against a Syrian military asset.
Assad gassed a bunch of civilians, I would think Putin has a little more class than Assad.
