Donald Trump: 'I'll look Syrian children in the face and say they can't come'

One man said he lived in Greenwich, Connecticut, where Mr Trump has a home, and there were plans to relocate Syrian refugee families there.

He asked Mr Trump if he could "look children aged five, eight, ten, in the face and tell them they can't go to school here".

Mr Trump did not hesitate and said he could, which brought applause from the crowd.

He said: "I can look in their faces and say 'You can't come'. I'll look them in the face.

@Ill they sticking by the story nonetheless



President Putin “regards the strikes as aggression against a sovereign nation,” his spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, noting that the president believes the strikes were carried out “in violation of international law, and also under an invented pretext.”

Peskov also insisted that “the Syrian army doesn’t have chemical weapons,” saying this had been “observed and confirmed by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, a special UN unit.”

Putin sees the US missile strike on Syria as an attempt to distract attention from civilian casualties in Iraq, Peskov added.

“This step deals significant damage to US-Russian ties, which are already in a deplorable state,” Peskov said.

One day America is going to get what it deserves. I may die as a result of that reckoning, we all may perish. I believe that this much injustice will not be able to last forever in this nations short and awful existence. The United States of America is a nation of cowardice and savagery. White Supremacy is set on destroying the planet completely. I will leave yall with this quote and I'm out of this thread for good.
- Samuel P. Huntington

We're getting what we deserve right now, with Trump as our president. We have become a country of extreme views and with the nuclear option killing the senate, they too will become as pathetically divisive as the House. We are f&*ked, nothing is going to get done. But, we have the strongest military in the world and the int'l community needs us for that. We will continue to dominate as long as our military power is needed.

Donald Trump's Syrian airstrike 'significant blow to US-Russia relations', says Kremlin – live

The Pentagon has confirmed it used a hotline for minimising the risk of aerial combat between US and Russian jets in eastern Syria to alert Russia of the strike against its Syrian client.

The Russians are sure to have routed that warning to Assad, raising immediate questions about what the strike will have accomplished, and also signalling that the US does not seek escalation.

Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said:

Russian forces were notified in advance of the strike using the established deconfliction line. US military planners took precautions to minimise risk to Russian or Syrian personnel located at the airfield.

We are assessing the results of the strike. Initial indications are that this strike has severely damaged or destroyed Syrian aircraft and support infrastructure and equipment at Shayrat airfield, reducing the Syrian government’s ability to deliver chemical weapons.

The use of chemical weapons against innocent people will not be tolerated.

Assad to stop committing war crimes.
People on the "left" to stop acting like it's okay for Assad to commit war crimes because Syria isn't a western power.
The war has been going on for six years with no end in sight. Millions displaced internally and externally and hundreds of thousands dead.
Assad needs to go through force if not of his own volition. Russia can make it happen for all I care but things can't continue the way they are.

You know what really emboldens right wing governments? Not standing up to guys like Assad.

We're not even entirely sure he did this. It also looks wild suspicious when he doesn't stand to benefit shyt from it while starting to actually win the war.

How is he supposed to take this and how is Russia supposed to take this? Not as an actual act of war?
No one is saying it's okay for him to commit war crimes no matter who it is.

Tell me what happens when he dies? Who replaces him. Sounds like we'd be "spreading democracy" and have an even more spread out clusterfukk of a situation with more mass immigration.
