This coupled with the resulting refugee problem puts America in a weird spot because he we are crying foul about what's happening to Syrians but we're not going to take any refugees.
Also, we would have to deal with ISIS and the Assad regime if any American soldiers were actually sent there. ---------------------------------------

We could: 1) put hundreds of thousands of boots on the ground, and then send in thousands more to completely rebuild the country's infrastructure and society, 2) bomb the place into oblivion, 3) Sit back and watch hundreds of thousands more die and get displaced, or 4) do some piece meal shit like scattered bombings that my good stories on the evening news, but don't ultimately do a lot besides further destabilize the region.

It was already mission accomplished in Syria with most of the Russian troops pulled out. 50 missiles aint shit compared to what we were half assing ordiance wise all those years with Obama; it's basically a sneeze to Asaad.
Trump looks like he's a tough guy and not a Russian puppet Russia can feign shock/anger with the US looking again like a stupid world player

"Using a deadly nerve agent, Assad choked out the life of innocent men, women and children. It was a slow and brutal death for so many, even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack. No child of God should ever suffer such horror."
beautiful babies, really?

...at the US. The powers that be know this, so they don't want to take any chances with folks seeking to even the score. Make sure the people are demonized so as to have a good excuse as to why they are not helping the civilians. Seems like standard operating procedure for this country. Fucked-up.
17. "nope, we're bombing Syria to triangulate" In response to Reply # 0
positioning for international natural gas pipelines. Were #DAPL in Syria they would have gotten the same treatment. It is why Trump and Clinton are aligned on this response.
US is getting played......again.

Nigel Farrage (pro-Brexit leader):
"I think a lot of Trump voters will be waking up this morning and scratching their heads and saying, 'Where will it all end? As a firm Trump supporter, I say, yes, the pictures were horrible, but I'm surprised, whatever Assad's sins, he is secular."
Justin Trudeau:
Canada fully supports the United States' limited and focused action to degrade the Assad regime's ability to launch chemical weapons attacks against innocent civilians."
United Kingdom Defense Secretary Michael Fallon:
"we fully support what the Americans have done, the strike was limited and wholly appropriate."
Marine Le Pen also appeared to distance herself from Trump, saying on Twitter that she "strongly condemned" the "horrible" strike on the Syrian airbase. "Is it too much to ask that we wait for the results of an independent international investigation before carrying out a strike like this in Syria?" she told France 2 television on Friday.
Brietbart's Paul Joseph Watson:
"I guess Trump wasn't 'Putin's puppet' after all, he was just another deep state/Neo-Con puppet. I'm officially OFF the Trump train,"
Ann Coulter:
"Those who wanted us meddling in the Middle East voted for other candidates."
Milos Yiannopoulos:
"There comes a day in every child's life when his Daddy bitterly disappoints him."
Francois Holland and Angela Merkel also showed support for the strikes. Both claiming that "Assad is entirely responsible for the development of the situation."
