Attacks in Douma

None, all political propaganda IMO, usual rubbish you hear about after these attacks. Remember none of the Russian advanced air defence systems were used.

For all those against these strikes, what do you suggest as an alternative?

No respect for International law, only when it suits us.
Why not wait for the OPCW investigation to even start ?
Probably cause the evidence points towards the white helmets
And we were warned they were planning this week's ago
Good to see Imperialism still alive and well.

Get out and stay out, stop aiding and supporting the terrorists and let Assad, the democratically elected leader of a sovereign state, regain full control of his country would be a start.

And stand by and watch whilst people get killed? Not for me thank you.

Imperialism? I think you're confused.

Like in Yemen and Palestine ?

No, I meant what I said.

They did figure out why the Patriot was so bad. It wasn't meant to be switched on and left on. If it was switched off and reset on a regular basis it would have been better.
The S-400 was meant to deal with ballistic missiles coming in at a high angle. The tomahawk drops to as low as 5m once it nears the target. At that height it can't really be picked out.

If a cruise missile was shot down, there'd be lots of grinning missile men gloating around the wreckage.

Is this just another example of the West trying to flex its muscle again? And for what gains, as far as i know there is no oil in Syria?

Say Based Assad did gas his own people. Why does it take three countries to attack one? The Americans or France could easily go at this alone. Its only going to sour matters. Assad is winning the War but the West seem determined to remove him from power one way or another and then leave the country in an even worse state like with Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
