Is Trump starting a NEW war in the Middle East??
Trump SAID that he wouldn't get us involved in another Middle East war. Taking him at his word, the missile strike was it. But, if regime change is his new objective, he IS getting us involved in a brand new Middle East war.
So, what's up with Syria?

Since the Syrian uprising began in 2011, Americans have regarded the carnage there as essentially a humanitarian disaster. For Obama, contemplating his legacy, the awful death and destruction that Syria has suffered — the 400,000 deaths, the wholesale wasting of civilian neighborhoods, the wanton use of sarin gas and chlorine gas and barrel bombs, the untold atrocities — has raised the old question of how future generations will judge an American president’s passivity or ineffectuality in the face of mass slaughter.

Yes, that is apparently part of his new agenda. Not sure why. One explanation can be a conspiracy theory of him and Putin. Side: Regime change

Hello Ex-Con: For years, Obama has insisted that Syria isn’t of great strategic importance to the United States. But that judgment represents not just a break from decades of geostrategic thinking but a gamble of considerable risk. Equally important are the implications of Obama’s Syria policy on Europe’s immigration crisis. For decades the continent has struggled, with mixed results, to assimilate Muslim arrivals from the Middle East and Africa, many of whom come bearing sharply alien cultural values. But the new waves of Syrian refugees unleashed by the failure to contain the civil war there has now created a crisis of unparalleled magnitude. The Syrian conflict happened under Barack Obama's regime and it shows what a pacifist he was. Side: A pinprick was enough
The measured and restrained response to the use of poison gas bombs against innocent men, women, children and babies was wholly appropriate. Trump's original remarks regarding the middle east was in keeping with the peaceful intentions of most American Presidents and akin to ex President Roosevelt's 1940 campaign speech when he said, ''your boys are not going to be sent to any foreign war, and that is not just a campaign promise''. As with President Roosevelt who found himself with a whole bagful of new problems after the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbour, so did President Trump find himself facing a real game changer with a ruthless dictator who was/is prepared to slaughter his own civilian population with some of the most savage weaponry known to mankind.
This precisely rationed military reaction to Assad the butcher was meant as a warning to him and his brutal regime. The middle east is the biggest open air lunatic asylum in the world and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. Containing the brutality is all that the west can achieve.
