I've gotta say I'm actually kind of on Trump's side here. I think this is the first thing he's done which I haven't hated. However, I'm not sure how pure his intentions were, as it could have either been in opposition to the atrocities committed by the Assad regime, which I would see as pure intentions, or it could have been a calculated move to boost his own political stability, in which case I would not think it was appropriate.
However I am still pretty nervous that he's going to go well to far with this. A strategic bombing of a military base responsible for using chemical weapons on its own people in one thing, but starting a serious campaign in Syria is entirely different. The thing that concerns me about the overwhelmingly positive response he has received is that Trump has proven that he really likes it when people like him. This means he might have been given the impression that if his popularity is waning, all he needs to do is bomb Syria and he'll receive a boost in the polls. Syria has already suffered enough, and cannot become Trump's tool for popularity.
That being said, the Assad regime's actions towards their own people was so horrific, I think the response was justified in this case. If countries like America can send a strong message that the use of chemical weapons against civilians is unacceptable, then I support them in doing so, provided that these actions don't cause more death and suffering for military civilians. While I think there were 4 non military people at the base in question who were killed, I don't view this action as an attack on civilian lives, and while it did not entirely achieve its mission, hopefully it at least showed that Trump was not just going to support Assad because of his ties to Russia. I think in some ways the whole chemical weapon attack was a twisted test on the Assad regime's part, as they wanted to see whether the new administration in America would stand by.
Unless if there is another chemical attack I don't think Trump should even consider bombing Syria again, and I am not in favour of any further action, but I do think something needed to be done to show the Syrian government and the Russians that international standards need to be met in regards to the use of chemical weapons.
