Think about it. When there was no personal gain for Trump, he was completely against any action in Syria after a poison gas attack. (And he was actually correct then) One of his many tweets in 2013:
Now, all he has to do is completely reverse himself and you foolishly think it's because he's a strong leader? He's MANIPULATING you for political gain! Let go of your 100% partisan shallowness and maybe reality will start to sink in.
Comparing a 2013 tweet when there was no promise by Syria/Russia to not use chemical weapons and the reaction after the promise is in place and broken is comparing apples and oranges.
Bullshit, I am tired of people thinking that when an administration changes the policies suddenly become drastically opposite. Our intel is a long term baton that gets passed on to the next president. The only difference between the GOP and Dems is that we lean to diplomacy far more and the GOP leans to John Wayne bullshit far more on average, so when we want to do something, the GOP doesn't like us taking the spotlight.
Now, I am NOT talking about going in or staying out being right or wrong, but the GOP pulled the same fucking bullshit running from their own health care plan which Obama modeled after Mitt Romney's plan.
It is utter nonsense long term to think in terms of always defaulting to a strike or a war, or total isolation. It is literally physically impossible on a GLOBE which is a BALL, and not infinitely flat where you can always expand or conquer. We do have to engage sometimes with diplomacy and sometimes with force.
But for you to claim what Obama wanted back then is now different is utter bullshit. I am not saying it would be good or bad to do it, but bullshit only in that it was different.
The GOP tactic has been the same for decades, on all subjects, none of it about real governing, but creating needless problems then when Dems try to correct the shit they started, they blame dems for what they created. Now you say Trump is right for doing it now? I could give a fuck less, if it were not for the GOP and Bush Jr for busting up Iraq neither Obama or Trump would be arguing over strikes or timing.
