Would it have made a difference in Syria and elsewhere in the world had we, the US, struck Syria via air or naval bombardment after verifying they had used chemical weapons?

  • Depends on if they were more than just punitive strikes. If we were to strike, it would have probably had to been more than just a few on a few targets for "punishment". We would have actually had to "bomb the shit" out of them to make any difference. We would have also had to target several AQ/ISIS positions to mitigate their influence and power, as well. Was I for punitive strikes? To an extent. I thought something should have been done in Syria and that was the first step. As far as credibility is concerned, it would have maintained it.

  • Some say we don't, but I sort of align with the faction that say we do.

    Interesting. I'll be taking an intro IR class in the fall, by the way.
