This is a normal post From fake news to phoney wars...
...the PM sliding up to Trump to support an illegal strike used just to make him look tough. They even called the Russians beforehand. Corbyn is right.

Syria is still a state, there was no specific UN resolution. Just last week a US airstrike killed over 100 in Iraq, would it be ok for Russia to cross over to Iraq and bomb an Iraqi army airbase? 52 Tomahawks at a cost of over $1M USD each to bomb an airstrip the Russian will rebuild in a month, what a joke.

This is a normal post If you look a bit closer, the military action was in response to the use of sarin gas on Syrian civilians
The 1925 Geneva Treaty stated that chemical and biological weapons are "justly condemned by the general opinion of the civilised world."

If it was proven to be Syrian forces.I don't think the 1925 Geneva Treaty was on Trumps mind when he started going on about protecting Gods Children.

This is a normal post Is your hatred so strong for Trump, that you resort to using news articles from four years ago as your citation?
I think Trump was extremely clear in his condemnation of the gas attack, even describing how the affected children appeared. Just because you're ideologically opposed to him, at least be honest enough when he does something people said should have been done four years ago.

Ow wow. I am not ideologically opposed to Trump. Part of his reason for doing this is to look tough. It will not help to resolve anything in Syria. He is not a religious man he was clearly pandering with that God reference. I wasn't aware of the b3ta policy on not using dated citations. "something people said" ha.

This is a normal post The reason I mentioned the dated citation was that you seemed to be using that to contradict Trump's statement. If I was wrong, I apologize.
I personally wish this had never happened. But there are many things I wish had never happened and we have to operate in the reality that exists.

Heaven help us.

That's a snappy summary of Trump's first couple of months in office

This is a normal post Justly condemned doesn't mean an automatic declaration of war.
Not the the absence of a state of war has stopped anyone so far...

This is a normal post Humanitarian intervention, init?
Was the justification we used during the Kosovo conflict.
Another one where we couldn't get a resolution because of Russia.
Technically that was illegal too I think.

America could also probably argue self defence too, which is allowed.

This is a normal post America has been bombing loads of places in Syria already without the permission of Assad..
Probably with lots of civilian deaths,just this time it was a military target.

Don't see what makes this one more illegal than all the others.

You are right this one is no more illegal than the others. I think there might have been UN resolution to conduct small scale military action against IS for humanitarian purposes.
