25:51Now PlayingTrump has launched cruise missiles at a Syrian air force base. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, Jimmy Dore, and Alonzo Bodden, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles that rained down on a remote Syrian air force base Thursday night could be a one-off strike designed as a chest-thumping show of force by President Trump in response to the horrific Syrian chemical attack in that country's northwest earlier this week. Or it could be the first shot in a cascading series of military actions – including the creation of refugee safe zones, no-fly zones aimed at grounding Syrian and Russian air forces, and direct attacks on Syria's main military units – that might trigger what, until this week, seemed unthinkable: a direct U.S.-Russian military showdown.
What's clear is that the strikes, launched in the dead of night, won't by themselves change much at all. They won't change the balance of forces in Syria’s civil war, which – after a series of on-the-ground military advances by the Syrian regime's forces and its Russian and Iranian allies – has essentially been won by Damascus. They won't deter either Moscow or Tehran from backing Bashar al-Assad's government, which both counties have deemed an indispensable ally. And they won't even put much of a dent in Syria's arsenal of chemical weapons or its ability to deliver them.”*
