We will not forgive or forget your illegal #SyriaStrikes Theresa May. You've bypassed democracy to drag the UK into a potentially catastrophic war. No debate, no vote, nothing. You've left us no choice but to oust you from power at the soonest opportunity. Despicable.

what a joke:

So the general outlines of Trump’s legal basis for Friday’s bombing are fairly clear. They are also truly extreme. As Jack Goldsmith, one of the heads of the OLC during the Bush administration, has said, it’s a perspective that “places no limit at all on the president’s ability to use significant military force unilaterally.”

That would be bad enough, of course, if everything were out in the open. But at least then it could be debated on specifics, rather than supposition. Instead, we have allowed the Constitution to be eviscerated to the point that not only does the president have nearly unlimited war powers, we can’t even say exactly why.

Donald Trump Ordered Syria Strike Based on a Secret Legal Justification Even Congress Can’t See

Trump’s airstrikes on Syria are illegal without congressional authorization. Hina Shamsi, director of our National Security Project, had this to say:

I know his point, what is your's.


I know your's also and it doesn't compute.

Can anyone please explain what is the end game in this conflict ?
Honestly just what are the USA's interests ?

good question

America first as your dear leader says.

America first does not mean America only. I don't know this answer, so I shouldn't ask the question, but I will. Has there been any US intervention outside of our boundaries that you have supported?

"Staying the hell out "......that's what he needs to do.

Changed your tune now that obama is out of office.... HYPOCRITE.

As in... Who will step up first and say uh, sorry dude you are toast?

 

[DriveInDriѵeOut]

Even if he's not a military genius, thinking about agreeing with France should give him a big hint !!


Now is the time for Benghazi behavior....Stand Down !!

lulz

 

[Frankie's Friend]

Preach that truth. Like Obama's terrorist associate said:
"I wish we would've bombed more".

 

[DriveInDriѵeOut]

lets just lob over some Tomahawks at $500k each to achieve nothing other than piss off everyone else in the world.

Mission Accomplished!

 

[DriveInDriѵeOut]

But the larger picture is both sides have these weapons .
To make one side give them up is useless .

good point

 

[floridays]

good question

I'm guessing the US interest is the same as the rest of the civilized world, no chemical weapons as they cannot be targeted at solely military combatant. It is a protection for every non -combatant, you know women and children, old people and such. That's just kinda my guess.
