Missiles to Syria
On the night of April 6th, 59
Tomahawk missiles were sent to a military base in Syria, because of an alleged chemical
weapons attack on a village in Syria that killed around a hundred people. Only
23 of the missiles reached the target. Syria has released statements that the
U.S. is only helping terrorist organizations, and that the attack violated
international laws and customs. Syria also condemned the white house for acting "without knowing the truth about what occurred and
without identifying those responsible.” Syria is one of Russia’s main allies,
and they did not have a very good response to the attack. Trump called on other
countries to help end bloodshed in Syria.
I don’t really understand this attack because while
using illegal nerve agent gas is terrible, Trump signed an order to ban Syrians
from entering the country. I don’t really think that this is Trumps business to
get into this conflict, and I think that more thought and investigation should
have been put into the attack before actions were taken. I do agree that
actions should be taken against terrorism but I think that the execution of
this plan was poor.

I'm with you on this subject I feel that I can't say it's the wrong move, but it seems very impulsive.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you, sometimes i think our president should sit on his hands and think before he does something.
