From what the news reported just now, military targets, but we will see how this pans out. Attacking Syria is just not the end of the morass we want to get into.
Jesus fucking christ. I get up for a bit to take out trash and recycling and stuff, come back and this is happening. Sorry guys, I’ll never get up from my desk again
THIS. Even if he was Russia’s puppet in the region. Not having a real option to replace him with is going to leave Syria in the same mess Iraq is in though it probably is there already.
It was an attack on a specific base from which a sarin attack was launched on civilians.
Also another attack, using weaponized chlorine reportedly occurred today.
If there is any justifiable reason to use military force, it might be to prevent tyrants from gassing civilians. I am not even going to say that we need to get rid of Assad. Someone worse could replace him. But we could possibly deter him from dropping Sarin on everyone. Airbases are expensive.
