U.S. strikes Syrian military airfield in first direct assault on Bashar al-Assad’s government

The U.S. military launched approximately 50 cruise missiles at a Syrian military airfield late on Thursday, in the first direct American assault on the government of President Bashar al-Assad since that country’s civil war began six years ago.

I wonder what his mate Vladimir will make of this.

Trump won't be happy until he's started some kind of conflict

Hopefully somebody waves a big shiny object in front of him before he decides to take it any further.

Seriously what are the odds that we get a world ending psycho in charge of the US nuclear codes at the very moment we're finally on the verge of promotion!

But look on the bright side. If he waits a few months before starting World War 3, we'll never get relegated from the Prem EVER.

Ruddy shame there won't be a Europe left then, really.

I still see the positives. A great chance to widen our fan base. If a nuclear war does manage to wipe out most of the major european clubs, then I'm pretty sure Bloom would get the fans recruitment team in overdrive, quick. We could potentially have most of Europe supporting us if Bloom plays his cards right. We are in a win win situation right now with this war stuff. There really is no better time to be a Brighton fan.

It's a bit worrying to say the least but as Trump had said, Obama and the rest of the world backed down after Assad's previous use of Chemical weapons. With his mate Putin on board Assad thought himself pretty much fireproof and so he has struck again.
Something needed to be done, I'm assuming any UN security council resolution would have been blocked by Putin and quite likely the Chinese too, so, we are where we are.

Let's hope there won't be a release of Chemical weapons at that Syrian air Base due to the missile strikes....we all know how easy it is to hit a stray stash of Sarin.... :-?

Brighton factually.....
I think the thread title is misleading, it gives the impression that Trump has flown B52's over Syria dropping thousands of bombs recklessly.

When if we are to believe the media The Americans warned Russia before hand and targeted a chemical weapons target or launch area, hopefully preventing any further such attacks. That seems reasonable to me considering the UN has done feck all, apart from sending a strong letter.

The sad thing is that this thread will be bigger and have more unrequited hate for trump than the thread on the chemical attack and the Syrian regime.

Hate to say it, but good on him.

A direct strike on the source of the launch site that the chemical attack, supposedly, came from.

59 Tomahawk cruise missiles to take out 1 base seems a bit extreme. Gonna be some collateral damage for sure.

Typical, Brighton are on the cusp of promotion to the premier league but before they get there American sets off world war 3 and it's the end of the world before the 7th May
