Only dirt on Trump that matters is proof of criminal acts. This is why judiciary must be protected and corruption ties examined thoroughly. twitter.com/Susan_Breen_Art/status/850460226163748871

I notice Trump hasn't tweeted about this.

I'm also surprised the US hasn't got a decent runway denial weapon that can be delivered without using a plane.

Ta for new thread.

Rather than the Tomahawks they should have just sent in a Vulcan to hit the runway Wink

Didn't the Brits have to use special weaponry to crater the airfield at Stanley? (However many years ago that was.)

Love the new title. The awful thing is that any big military strike gives most politicians a thrill. Australian prime minister was positively swaggering on our news.

After #SyriaStrikes, there continues to be a simple question that @POTUS still hasn't been able to answer: What is his strategy in Syria?

People in Congress are asking for answers and want to know the strategy involved in this decision.

I don't have a problem with the Syria strike in itself. I do have a problem with the fact our foreign policy is random mood swings.

saffron me too re ivanka. I was raging about it earlier. She's such a hypocrite - I don't recall her shedding any tears about the refugees being denied entry to the US. God I will be glad when they're all out of the WH. I truly hope it's soon.

Supporting US #Syria strike:
—UK
—France
—Germany
—Italy
—EU
—Poland
—Canada
—Israel
—Saudi Arabia
—Jordan
—Turkey
Opposing:
—Russia
—Iran

Now I know these countries have said publicly that they support it, but do they? REALLY? This puts a huge pressure on them now. This escalates everything and they're going to be drawn into it. I don't think they could publicly say that no, actually what he did was wrong. I wonder if off camera they are saying "shit shit shit!!! What is he thinking?"

Wouldn't it be nice if it was impossible to suspect Putin ok'd Assad's gas attack so Trump could fire missiles & change the subject in USA?

Corbyn is against the strike but Labour is split (as per usual).

Look on the bright side - and Yes. There is one. He could have used something which packed more punch than a Tomahawk.
