Those critical of President Trump for launching a targeted missile strike in Syria need to first look at the whole picture. When it was first reported that chemical weapons were used in Syria, on Tuesday, April 4th, an emergency meeting should have take place at The United Nations to approve of intervention to halt and prevent further use of these weapons.
The use of chemical and biological weapons is banned by international law, of which Syria has agreed to. As usual the United Nations has failed to meet its obligation on the world’s stage. Since America is the most prominent funder of the United Nations, President Trump was not only authorized to launch the strike, but should be hailed as a hero for taking on the responsibility, where the overfunded and underperforming United Nations failed.
These stuffed shirt Congressmen and women have nothing to do with this action. The United Nations was created for just this purpose, to conglomerate a unilateral response to these types of bad actors from all the participating nations of the United Nations. If the United Nations can’t adequately respond to a situation as serious as this one before a single nation has to act, then it should be dissolved in favor of a more proactive entity.
