What is our Interest there?

Only that islam does not spread and use any means to shut the left down while working with decent people like the Russians and those that despise islam dogma and woman abusing.
I can see many ways to make this work as long as we keep the cold war relics and neocons out of the loop.
Our interest is a North Korea nuclear attack on the east or west coast of the USA. Syria war is sacrificing a pawn for the expectation that US Trump will fight.
Although a coastal nuke attack would give conservatives better voting demographics.
Probably the unchecked tactical use of chemical weapons. No other adults in the room, including Europe.
We wasted the airfield, not the capitol city. No troops deployed, message to the Russians that they should have spanked somebody for it.
Trump was tested here. That he responded to this, ultimately, is a good thing.
North Korea has absolutely zero to lose launching nukes at the US. Kim leaves DPRK with billions as his country gets hammered, but in the meantime 90 percent of the US is glowing uranium orange.
The Russians and Chinese will sacrifice DPRK for the US, as long as they think the nuclear exchange will be limited to the DPRK and not Russia and China.
Back channel, I’d make it clear that the US considers the DPRK a puppet state of any power enabling it with a strategic nuclear capability, which would include both Russia and China, and that a nuclear reprisal would occur on that basis.
If Trump wouldn’t respond to the use of a chemical weapon, the next step would have been the use of a chemical weapon perhaps in Eastern Europe, Ukraine maybe.
This was the thinking during the Cold War - would we risk a global thermonuclear war with the USSR if they invaded West Berlin? With Reagan, there was no doubt.
This was a relatively inexpensive response. It was also a relatively massive reprisal - 59 tomahawks on a single airfield?
Dr. Carson found 500 billion in the seat cushions at HUD today. We’re good.

Another oil & gas pipeline...that Asssd is blocking, to protect Russia from financial collapse.
Iranians manufacturing Sarin among other things like advanced missile transfer. The Israelis have hit the base several times. The op is not what it is made out to be if you look at the images released of the damage, which is less than one would expect from 59 tommies.
