President Trump on Friday announced that he has approved military strikes in Syria against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The decision follows a suspected chemical gas attack from the Assad regime on a rebel-held town near the Syrian capital last weekend.
The United States launched the response, along with assurance from France and the United Kingdom, Trump stated.
French President Emmanuel Macron said the operation is currently targeting the "clandestine chemical arsenal" in Syria.
"This evening I have authorized British armed forces to conduct coordinated and targeted strikes to degrade the Syrian Regime’s chemical weapons capability and deter their use," British Prime Minister Theresa May said in a statement.
Trump's announcement immediately preceded reports of loud explosions lighting up the sky in Damascus. Syrian TV reported that Syrian air defenses have responded to the U.S.-British-French attack.
Trump said the U.S. is prepared to "sustain" pressure on Assad until he ends what the president called a criminal pattern of killing his own people with internationally banned chemical weapons. It wasn't immediately clear whether Trump meant the allied military operation would extend beyond the initial nighttime round of missile strikes.

Then contribute somethiing positive. Don't just trash President Trump.
Well, that's a start. Now get going and do it. Don't just whine about it.
There are lots of things Putin cares about more than Assad. We share some large common interests with Russia and by extension, Putin. Therefore Putin is not going to start WWIII over this.
Britain, France and Israel have thermonuclear ( “h-bombs”) weapons and are our allies.
There is an additional thing that even chlorine drives you out of shelters and then you are getting hit by shrapnel.
I am certainly not deluded. Trump saved us from HIllary and we owe him for that forever. Also he is in the process of MAGA which is all that any real Americans care about.
If that is the case then Trump will use it as a bargaining chip with the Saudis.
MAGA means economic growth and economic growth means the deficit doesn't matter as much. The real problem is the giant leftist programs that the Dems put in the omnibus, not a little more missile money.
I’d rather take a bullet, or be vaporized by a nuke than get gassed.
Maybe it’s just me.

The OPCW investigative mission has been to arrive in Syria on Saturday. The missile attack happened Friday night. Asked how the [UK] prime minister would address MPs’ concerns when she returns to Parliament on Monday, [The British defense secretary] Mr. Williamson said: “The speed in which we’re acting is essential [...]”. Coincidence? ‘Highly unlikely’.
....”In regards to energy,...Israel’s fortune is Putin’s horror”.....
Could be ‘the hook’ that brings Russia down to Israel.
Genocide? Hyperbole much?
Putin’s burning a lot of profiles in his efforts tonite.
Oh, I wasn’t disagreeing. I think this is what the people did. Assad dropped the chlorine gas first and followed it up with his barrel bombs - oil barrels filled with explosives and scrap metal. Now these are largely ineffective if people had time to prepare and dig holes where they can take cover, but the gas drove the people out of these holes.
Putin: ‘Vladimir Putin: “Communist ideology is very similar to Christianity: freedom, brotherhood, equality, justice. All those things are in the Bible. Take The Moral Code Of The Builder Of Communism, for example. This is a projection, a simple extract from the Bible. They didn’t invent anything new. For example, they put Lenin in the Mausoleum. Is that any different from hallows for Orthodox Christians? For any Christian, in fact.”,’ https://www.memri.org/tv/putin-communism-no-different-from-christianity

Three nuclear powers - China, North Korea, Iran - are already aligned with Russia, and Hezbollah threatens to attack Israel with thousands of missiles virtually every day, and has for years.
I answered the question.. power went out for an hour here and could not post anything.
Laura said we are in debt and do not need to spend money we do not have on these strikes. she came down hard on Sebastian Gorka, twice.... she treated him worse than any lib she has on her show.. she was out of line and pompous about it.
