President Trump on Monday condemned the Syrian regime led by Bashar al-Assad and continued to suggest that the United States of America would wait for today's meeting with the United Nations from several top global diplomats before enacting any further response.
“We’re talking about humanity and it can’t be allowed to happen,” President Trump told reporters at his Monday morning cabinet meeting.. “We’ll be making that decision very quickly, probably by the end of today. We cannot allow atrocities like that.”

“If it’s Russia, if it’s Syria, if it’s Iran, if it’s all of them together, we’ll figure it out and we’ll know the answers quite soon,” The President said. “So we’re looking at that very strongly and very seriously.”
Last night, numerous reports of bombing on the Homs Air Base were reported, and it appears now that without a doubt that the Israelis were responsible.
<a href="https://thegoldwater.com/news/22715-Warning-Shock-Video-Russia-s-Lavrov-Claims-Chemical-Attack-Staged">Haaretz, </a>an Israeli media outlet, reports that two Israeli F-15 warplanes carried out airstrikes on a Syrian air base near Homs on Sunday, and a total of fourteen people were killed.

The response comes after an<a href="https://thegoldwater.com/news/22629-Warning-Shock-Video-Syria-Chemical-Attack-70-150-Dead-US-Blames-Russia"> alleged gas attack </a>inside of Syria, that is reported to have killed a total of 40 people, including children, with up to 150 more being affected by the chemical attack in what is no doubt a despicable act.
Regardless, it appears as if the United States is being dragged into the fight, which some would suggest isn't the burden of Americans, and the potential for international conflict has several known neoconservatives apparently foaming at the mouth in the desire for war in the Middle East.

The likes of Karl Rove, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Senator John McCain (R-AZ) have all promoted the idea of President Trump going to war in Syria, which concerns the majority of Trump's base, considering they're all <i>never Trump RINOs (Republican in name only)</i>.

Despite these warnings, and the attacks from Israel last night, it appears the President of the United States of America is being pressured into a counter-attack against the Assad regime.
Russia has warned of any potential attack, suggesting that there would be retaliation if the United States of America takes action.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, "Our military specialists have visited this place… and they did not find any trace of chlorine or any other chemical substance used against civilians."
Lavrov also directly accused Israel of the overnight strike on a Syrian airbase, a development which Damascus and Moscow have both stated was due to a response of the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, an act which the Russian government claims is a "very dangerous development".
Lavrov added, "I hope at least that the US military and those of the countries participating in the coalition led by the United States understand that."
As per what actions the President of the United States of America will take, the world will have to wait for the hearings of today inside the United Nations, as President Trump appears hesitant to make any formal decisions that could drag America into a prolonged war in the Middle East, especially risking an incursion with Russia or Iran as a result.
The majority of the President's base does not want this war, nor do they want intervention of any kind, believing that the “America First,” “Make America Great Again” agenda doesn't include worrying about the problems of a sovereign nation.
President Trump had initially planned to pull all troops out of Syria, and within days of the withdrawal announcement, the alleged chemical attack occurred, raising suspicions as to the whom the culprits may be.
Americans will stand with their President on whatever decision he makes for the region, although the desire for war, after 18-years straight of the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq, has dwindled to the point of nonexistence.
