In this episode, I discuss Donald Trump’s decision to bomb Syria after an alleged chemical attack on civilians by Bashar al-Assad. After this action, Trump received some of the most positive coverage he has received from the mainstream press since acceding to the office of the presidency. The “moderate” Democrats and Republicans both praised Trump’s actions against Assad, continuing the mainstream’s approval of adventurist and interventionist foreign policy. Tulsi Gabbard, Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, is one of the few politicians that has been willing to not just attack Trump for not seeking congressional approval, but also to question whether Assad’s regime actually carried out the attack. We are expected to accept the Pentagon and White House at their word, yet we have been fooled too many times before to fall for that again. I also discuss the United controversy.
