It's the smartest response, given the situation. I'll actually be impressed if they stick with it and weather the first foreign policy crisis.

it's the only response

what's the alternative? holy poo poo we were soft on assad and legitimized him further in his war against his own people and holy gently caress he just used gas again for the first time since Obama sought authority to intervene in 2013 and it's all our fault gently caress

It's going to be some long years ahead. Expect poo poo like that FOX infographic showing how great the first 2 months of Trump's presidency have been compared to the first 2 months of Obama's followed by "the current economic meltdown immediately following Trumps 20% import tax is actually just the delayed result of Obama's disastrous economic policies".

In the shadow of the old flag factory, Craig Slabornik sits whittling away on a rusty nail, his only hobby since the plant shut down. He is an American like millions of Americans, and he has no regrets about pulling the lever for Donald Trump in November — twice, in fact, which Craig says is just more evidence of the voter fraud plaguing the country. Craig is a contradiction, but he does not know it.

Each morning he arrives at the Blue Plate Diner and tries to make sense of it all. The regulars are already there. Lydia Borkle lives in an old shoe in the tiny town of Tempe Work Only, Ariz., where the factory has just rusted away into a pile of gears and dust. The jobs were replaced by robots, not shipped overseas, but try telling Lydia that. (I did, very slowly and patiently, I thought, but she still became quite brusque.) Her one lifeline was an Obama-era jobs training program, but she says that she does not regret her vote for Trump and likes what he says about business. She makes a point of telling me that she is not racist, but I think she probably is, a little.

...

Their waiter is David Mattress, a sentient robot who will be shut down if Trump’s budget is put into practice. He loves Trump, insofar as love is possible for him. When asked “Don’t you realize the contradiction of this position?” the other regulars leap up and shout at me because the last time this question was posed to him, David short-circuited and emitted large quantities of smoke. “First that magazine writer,” Linda scolds me, gesturing to a table in the corner where six other journalists sit writing versions of this same article, “now you.”

fair enough. i just get annoyed at the "US must do something" crowd who never articulate (1) what the US should do, (2) what the goals of doing that are, (3) how we'll get out once something's done, and (4) how that'd produce fewer deaths.

it's why Obama's punt of the issue to Congress in 2013 was smart. i doubt Trump will be as clever.

1) Kidnap Assad in a daring commando raid

2) Have Trump give a passionate speech about how official policy is to never negotiate with terrorists

3) Have terrorists sneak onto Air Force One with the assistance of the head of the secret service

4) Have Donald Trump pretend to use the escape pod, but actually dump all the fuel

5) Cause a KC-10 to blow up while triyng to refuel Air Force One

6) Intentionally fire on Air Force One so Trump can fight off a gunman

7) Have an F-15 sacrifice itself to safe Air Force One after Syrian fighters are launched to intercept it

8) Have Donald Trump punch the head terrorist in the face to break his neck while saying "You're Fired!"
