Obama’s policy was to strike Syria if they used chemical weapons, so nothing has really changed. Although I would haved expected that Obama would have used drones and killed more civillians as a result.
It’s better than Clinton’s strategy, will would have been a full scale invasion of Syria to set up anti-air defenses to enforce safe zones.
Arc is right.
She’s not saying that Trump will use nuclear weapons over Syria, just that she feels that it won’t take much for him to push the button.
I hope she’s wrong; I know she hopes she’s wrong. But that is a general feeling.
A useful feeling for Trump, who is prepared to bully his way around the world as though it were a reality tv show, and world politicians like the Beloved Leader of North Korea a rival celebrity.
I don’t see his attack as a u-turn form his anti-interventionist strategy. He didn’t have an anti-interventionist strategy, or an interventionist one.
His strategy is America First, American Always. If that means strut and threaten, he’ll strut and threaten. if that means strike, he’ll strike, show who’s boss.
He’s not a conservative or a liberal, not an isolationist or an interventionist, he’s a Mussolini-figure, operating in a political system designed to stop Mussolini figures, so he can’t get his way the whole time.
But he’s Commander-in-Chief, and he knows how Big John Wayne always won.
So, Beloved Leader, you two-bit punk, put up or shut up, because my six-guns are fast. Go ahead, punk, make my day.
*The Beloved leader goes all snake-eyed

Trump is bloody dangerous & it wouldn’t take a lot for him to “push the button ” me thinks.
Trump isn’t going to launch nukes, that is a little hysterical. Obama’s policy was to strike Syria if they used chemical weapons, so nothing has really changed. Although I would haved expected that Obama would have used drones and killed more civillians as a result.
Oh to be so well informed & wise drac .
