No tbh I am pretty pissed about Syria. You are right on US politics a fair bit but this isn't one of those times.
What in particular has got you going about Syria, if it's not personal to ask.

Look at his hiring and the timeline of events. Who does he know? Who did he previously work alongside?

I don't think Bolton is actually a bona fide Neo-Con. I think he's more of the muscular realist / madman school.
Guilty by association. Nikki Haley is worse. Awful appointment and I thought so at the time.

I had seen maybe 5 minutes of Tucker before Jimmy Dore covered him but I will probably tune in once or twice this week to see what he has to say.

What benefit is there for him and his regime to do this?
For some obscure reason he WANTS his country bombed, he WANTS American troops and planes there, aiding 'rebels' ?

Yes! I am familiar with that one courtesy of a politically inclined old black dude who used to come into the Domino’s I worked at during my wilderness years (though he didn’t mention Sowell by name and referred to Southern Ulter Scots simply as “rednecks”). Old black guys (like him and Sowell) tend to have extraordinarily little regard for modern “urban” culture; some of the most shockingly “racist” statements I’ve ever heard have come out of their mouths. There’s some interesting soul-searching going on in the black community at the moment, as a result of their increasing middle-class-ness. The sitcom “Black-ish” delves into this a bit (not sure if you get it over there).
As for the Asian/Harvard lawsuit, I can tell you Asians are the only ones who check the otherwise redundant “prefer not to say” box for racial identity on college applications. The squeeze has been put on them for some time, as they are well aware.
Of course, this fall I will matriculate at a Catholic law school, thus continuing a pattern which encapsulates the entirety of my education from Kindergarten through my Bachelor’s degree. Whether this is ideal or a symptom of a deep and troubling problem, we are presently grappling with...in any case it’s certainly not something we were concerned with for most of our existence.
As usual the whites won't reduce the number of white welfare cases like Kushner or legacy admittance which is at or more than the number of black admittance. Same old, same old, let the minorities fight each other for the scraps.

Only sane man in Washington. He sees them.
Watch this from 9 months ago:

A guy like Max Boot is completely utterly insane. But he has gigs all over the place - even the NZ Herald is printing his stuff as a sage voice from Washington.
Boot was a never Trumper now he is insane. I bet we can find you quoting Boot years before Trump.

No. High explosive will burn up rather than disperse chemical weapons if they're caught in the direct blast, but even then they're never going to be stored in any real quantity in their weaponized form. The users of these things don't want to risk an accidental exposure either. Newer ones are often binary agents that are stored as two separate components that have to be pre-mixed just prior to use as a safety precaution. Even the older ones that may be stored ready to go won't go very far at all without a proper dispersal system, they're pretty heavy, oily liquids that aren't going to be released into the atmosphere to daintily drift over populated areas.

It IS a simple question.
In fact it's so simple, one wonders why you can't answer it yourself.
Trump's lack of popularity has already cost the GOP in by elections that they should have coasted home in, and with Senate elections looming this year.

This has been the case in the special elections thus far, and looks like it may continue into the mid terms. The Dems are going to have a much higher turnout than normal, even if they don't take all the swing votes, if things continue as they are for now. Still a long time in politics for a lot more to happen.

Valid point, but I would imagine it makes it a lot trickier for Trump to stay in office if the GOP don't hold the House.
Surely Trump's popularity has some bearing on the recent loss of Republican seats? and the prospect of losing more seats as Republican voters stay away in reaction and Democrats rally?

Dunno. If the Dems take the house, it'll add a bit of authenticity to his claims that is all the Dems fault that nothing is getting done. He'll get to play to his strengths and spend much of his time complaining about unfair it is and that he could do a much better job by himself. Sad! He could really get stuck in and turn around, calling them a lame duck congress (not far off) rather than allow himself to be called a lame duck President.
An excuse for his inability to perform is just what he needs.

See above for my explanation about why your fears may be allayed.
If they used any specifically incendiary type munitions they could also provide an additional layer of protection, but not seen any evidence of that yet.

Meh, I didn't see any of USA, UK or France saying "We want to safely burn up all existing stocks of chem weapons in Syria while keeping the local residents unaffected after the strikes!!!"
They want 1) to destroy Syria's capability to make new stocks and 2) send a warning to everyone else thinking of gassing their own people too.
If a few more Syrians get gassed after the Tomahawks go in, that's a small price they were willing to pay.
In fact if some chemicals drifted over the local villages after the missiles went in they could say "See!! There were chem weapons there and we were right to bomb the factory!!"

A bit like some of the other long threads - Irish Rugby, Globus's address book, it's intended to keep much of this from spilling over to all the other threads. Sometimes it's related to other world events, but other than that I'd like to think it's reasonably successful in keeping the inevitable political spite out of much of it.

Sadly, he thinks that his understanding of world events is superior to all posters on here (with the possible exception of Oceanbreeze, Sen and Sen's lightweight sidekick) and that it is universally admired.
Unfortunately, it just adds more evidence to support the widely held conviction that all Saffers are right-wing, racist imbeciles.
