Thursday night America became America again. And outside of our enemy nations, the world applauded. Many Arab nations are thrilled. President Trump acting boldly and quickly, (a key component) ordered 59 missiles to take out Syria’s poison gas holding area at least nine Syrian jets and more of their equipment. An action that put our enemies on notice they don’t have fumbling do nothing Obama to let them off the hook. If he was still in office, it would take months to decide this type of action and then announce what we will do to the world before doing it.
Senator Rand Paul may be a wonderful doctor, but he has no clue as to what our constitution and founding fathers cleverly put in our nations document to make what President Trump did to Syria entirely legal. Congress has to put their stamp of approval to a DECLARATON of war. Under the War Powers Act, the President has the option of a strike such as Thursday. Our founders wanted the President to be able to take swift action when he feels it is necessary. Then, shortly, he must explain to Congress why he took such action.
That swift action by President Trump was perfectly timed Coincidence or not. The Russians were informed one hour before the strike and the President of China ,visiting the White House for talks and festivities, gets the word at dinner that the USA is shooting missiles hitting Syria. Now there’s a wake up call for you. China is now on notice it would be in their interest to dampen down the nutcase running North Korea. Also, he now is aware, as Secretary of State Tillitson said, we have nothing further to say to North Korea. If North Korea shoots off anymore missiles toward America, we will shoot them out of the sky. And of all things, Tillitson visits Russia next week having a stronger hand than Obama’s people ever held. Worth paying attention to. The world changed for the better Thursday night. Even socialist Nancy Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer supported the attack. But, them both being the prototype politicians, were quickly aware American’s will mostly approve and give major support for the President’s actions.
That swift action by our President, two days after the gas slaughter of Syrian people (which visibly moved our President) makes everyone aware we will move quickly to attack when necessary. Says Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mike McCaul…”Trump has done more in less than 100 days than eight years, to save lives in Syria.” The quickness of the attack is huge. Our enemies now know, like it or not, they must be more on guard. But it is likely Syria will challenge the U.S. again. Trump MIGHT take out all of their air fields.
There’s talk of Trump’s original base of supporters might not value the event. Jacksjargon says so what? Are they suddenly going to back Democrat’s? Forgetabouit. Our President keeps an eye on his poll numbers, but his actions will be what he thinks is best under the circumstances and the poll numbers will take care of themselves. He is surrounded himself with some of the most intelligent , experienced and successful people in our nation. He carefully listens and likes to hear their arguments over policy and tactics. As Kellyanne Conway says…”There are no “yes men” around him. Plus, Trump will make moves with his staff when he judges a change is needed. Word is more staff changes coming soon.
Meanwhile our new U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is doing a first rate job. Her speech, directed to the Russians and others who wish us harm, made it clear we don’t want to strike again. But, we will if we have too. She is distinguishing herself. And, the USA must be ready as Russia is presently sending a ship near where our ships struck from. Fear not. History has shown time again nobody wins when they show weakness. President Reagan showed that often. Peace through strength. “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall.” And it happened. Bullies back down when they know their opponent won’t back down. Nobody ever got into a war because they were too strong. Again, Trump has the best advisors and he listens. No Susan Rice’s or Muslim Valerie Jarrett. Ever wonder what qualified Valerie Jarrett?
So what next? Syria’s Assad may be making plans to strike again his own people. What shall the White House do then? The Russians may encourage it. Our administration is well aware and already has planned ahead. But, enemy countries now know what they are up against. We may be weaker militarily than years past, but we are still the strongest militarily in the world having the most sophisticated weapons. Plus, as President Trump shows leadership, other countries will join us. It simply works that way when there is successful strong leadership.
Plus Judge Gorsuch was confirmed. The Democrat’s go boo hoo sighting the Republicans didn’t give their nominee, Merrick Garland a hearing. What they and the media never remind us that in 1992, then Senator Joe Biden on the judiciary committee said….”We should seriously not schedule hearings until after the election.” It’s endless with these people.
President Trump had quite a week. A successful week. Take note though of challenges just ahead. According to retired General Jack Keane…”Another chapter is coming and likely involving some application of force.” But, fear not. As our enemies now see our Tomahawk missiles actually go into tunnels and take out jet planes they will be even more weary. They know…”They ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.”
