If America escalates this and collapses the Syrian government.
There were two candidates in the 2016 election that were not hawks. A left and right candidate. But the lemmings attacked them because they were taking away votes from their potential war monger n chief.
Well whatever happens, I am relatively certain that this little gas attack in Syria is going to help some American military contractors make their nut. What do you think, $50 million of smart bombs in response? $100 million? Or how about the ultimate wet dream of a serious interaction with the Russians and BILLIONS in ordinance? We have powerful financial interests that profit from fomenting war and who have far too much influence on American foreign policy.
The only coherent part of American foreign policy that I can detect is the tendency to bomb first (with hideously expensive hardware) and ask questions later. Lately we have just gone to bombing and not asking questions at all. I don't think we will ever disengage from the Middle East. There is just too much money to be made murdering people over there. Paint a bad guy sign, bomb, rinse, repeat, profit.
