Trump – 50 Missiles Fired At Syria – A Round Of Golf With Red China?
Not good.
I am usually ready to defend Donald Trump, albeit not uncritically, but the news – out this very minute – that he’s unleashed 50 Tomahawk missiles because of Syria’s alleged violations of innocent civilians’ ‘human rights?’
How can America square this military offensive with the fact that the leader of a country which is assuredly the world’s largest and most continuous violator of ‘human rights…’

President Trump’s guest in Florida represents a regime guilty of more human rights atrocities than Assad could hope to achieve if he ruled Syria for the seven decades the Reds have ruled China. Your example of the genocide against Tibet is valid, but there are also sixty million or more actual Chinese who have fallen victim to communism.
There are many Trump supporters who feel the same way you do, but we’d best just soldier on, because he is doing a good job in other things.
His Supreme Court choice was excellent and I have heard it said he doesn’t want to fall out with the McCain RINO wing until that has gone safely through.

Well said Ross.
I don’t believe for a minute the Syrian Government dropped chemical weapons but let’s just imagine they were that evil/stupid; is killing 70 people in their own country while fighting (USA -financed terrorists) better or worse than USA killing several hundred innocent Iraqis in airstrikes in Mosul?
Perhaps the western media could explain that if they were not paid propaganda lapdogs.

Trump’s reasoning sounds like this.
Chemical weapons in a dictatorship’s hands are a real threat to the USA. Innocents have been horribly treated by their own government..
So launch Tomahawks at Syria.
Nuclear weapons in a dictatorship’s hands are a greater real threat to the USA. Many more innocents have been horribly treated by their own government in Pyongyang.
Now we wait for Tomahawks against North Korea.
I like Trump but I am waiting for him to be consistent.
