It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.

There are probably more that dont support it privately, but anything less than full public support of are troops is considered haram in american politics.

No one wants to be on the wrong side of the military when the inevitable coup/civil war comes around, especially right now when we are probably closer to that type of event than we've been in my lifetime (but still a ways away).

It's too bad too, because I think a number of America's problems, at home and abroad, could be solved if we stopped firebombing the Middle East all the time. Or at least, that's how I felt when things still mattered.

i sometimes wonder if the apocalypse would be more survivable in detroit or the middle of indiana. on the one hand, detroit probably eats a nuke and you have 600,000 people competing for resources, but it really isn't much of a change in quality of life for most and the city was built for 6 million people so there's plenty of space for everybody.

but, whatever, might as well finish my life with a little comfort.

Ya gotta keep some kind of relativity. When Assad committed a gas attack while Obama was President, Obama went to Congress and America's allies and did not find support for a strike and so did not retaliate despite a loss of face from his own words on the subject, and instead found a diplomatic solution disposing of a large amount of Syria's chemical weapons - and since use of chemical weapons didn't escalate for the rest of his Presidency, it seems like it was a modestly successful outcome, even if he had to eat criticism for not being "strong" enough (often by the same Republicans who rebuffed him in Congress).

To be honest, if Obama were still President and this gas attack had happened, I could imagine him doing something similar to what Trump did. A "symbolic" bombing of the offending airbase combined with a warning ahead of time to evacuate personnel and a clear, coordinated diplomatic message that if Assad continues to use chemical weapons then the response will escalate, that could fit with Obama's approach to Syria as well. The difference with Trump is mainly that he's a clumsy and impulsive oaf who consulted or sought permission from no one and suddenly reversed himself without giving clear guidance to anyone, briefly causing a genuine WW3 scare. No one trusts his ability not to escalate or can guess if his future responses will be consistent with his actions here.

There's an idealized version of this attack that a lot of commentators are basically just projecting onto Trump, which explains why so many liberals are onboard with it even if it's just as stupid as that speech Trump gave that got Van Jones to call his Presidential (only for the next incompetent scandal to drop the next day).

not a whole lot of talk about how the shitshow that is the state department sent so many hosed up ambiguous messages (the Syrian people will decide if Assad goes etc) that it may have invited this attack in the first place

Tillerson is so god drat bad at his job and the lack of coordination on communicating foreign policy is gonna invite crisis after crisis

Yeah, the missiles were the flashy part of the disaster but just as big a factor is America has no coherent, coordinated message right now. The state department's been sidelined or kept out of the loop before, but now it comes off as completely absent - when Tillerson does have something to say, it's short, ambiguous, and sounds like nobody's kept him updated so he's just guessing as much as anyone else. All told this was a relatively minor crisis in the timeline of a typical Presidency, and it had an edge of actual apocalyptic terror because no one in the whole world really understood what America's intentions were in a violent confrontation with their historical main rival.

God help us when something happens that really requires the administration to react, and quickly. Or something that demands international cooperation and trust between nations. All it'd take is another incident like this where Russia or China take the wrong read of the situation and "overreact" in response. I remember reading something yesterday that Mattis had been a sticking point during attack planning over concerns about killing Russian soldiers, if he was the one who pushed for informing Russia and Syria beforehand then imagine how easily we might've stumbled into a situation where Russia was reacting to completely unannounced missile strikes killing their personnel and destroying their planes.
