Wouldn't taking out Assad leave a power vacuum that ISIS would gladly fill? They're all monsters, we shouldn't be involved beyond setting up some refugee camps and maybe helping enforce some no-fly zones.

The reason I asked is because ISIS is going on in Syria.

I'm not taking it that far. We sent a message. We could have done much more if chose to do so, we didn't. We're not trying to take Assad out , not trying to enter Syrian politics just letting Assad know we wont look the other way if he uses chemical weapons. that still leaves Assad free to do about every other rotten thing his heart desires.

OK
I was not specific enough!
I meant with the Syrian government.
AS for Afghanistan, yes because the Taliban effectively were the de facto government for most of the country.
Iraq - No
Iraq never attacked the USA ... I held and expressed this same belief before we invaded Iraq.

I don't see us doing much more in Syria other then wiping out Isis. Trump could have done so much more to Assad if he was interested in getting involved in Syria.

And Assad has sent a message to Drumpf. He will continue to do as he pleases and Drumpf will need to do a lot more to stop him.
Check out this post in the Islamic State vibe:

As long as he continues to wipe out ISIS (without WMD or chemical weapons) more power to him.

He sent the Russians a message all right, warning them of the impending attack hours before the missiles were launched. One would have to be a complete idiot to believe that they did not pass that message along to their Syrian allies. Trump spend over $100 million to blow a few holes in a runway that was in operation again the following day. His "message" was directed at the American people and it was nothing but an attempt to restore his tanking ratings by pretending to act tough.

So if ISIS truly is a threat to us, why are we bombing the government that is fighting them?
We cant pick both sides in a war.

Probably the most telling fact in this entire mess is that Assad waited almost 4 years...until 3 months after Obama was gone and Trump had taken over...to resume the use of chemical weapons.
That is not a coincidence. I suspect Trump's incessant Twitter rants imploring Obama to not attack Syria may have played a role in Assad's thinking.

What makes you think he is taking out ISIS? Assad bombs civilians, many who are not ISIS.

The U.S. is a death culture. The glorification of violence and normalization of war is what makes this culture "exceptional."

Then he is a bad boy.
Probably no worse than Putin or a half dozen other country leaders.
It is not the USA's responsibility to govern the world.

Just curious ... what is your purpose in posting all these ugly looking tweets?

Just like Iraq.
Hopefully Trump can learn from other's mistakes.
the idea of nuclear bombs dropping is uglier than my tweets

Syrians kill with gas out of the box and
ISIS burns them alive with gas in a cage.
So many targets. So little time.
