John, Cenk, Alonzo, and Jimmy are hosting with Jayar on the side. The US has launched 59 tomahawk cruise missiles into the Syrian airbase where the chemical attack on Syrian civilians was supposedly based. About 6 Syrian military personnel were killed. A drone belonging either to Russia or Syria was seen hovering over the site of the chemical weapons attack Tuesday after it happened. The drone returned late in the day as citizens were going to a nearby hospital for treatment. Shortly afterward, officials say the hospital was bombed. The officials say they believe the hospital attack may have been an effort to cover up evidence of the attack. Cenk says that the US attacks and kills Syrian civilians all the time. The U.N., the media, etc. selectively decide what they are going to get outraged by. A number of people decided to get outraged at this particular time for some particular reason. There are plenty of other outrageous events to get outraged over. Russia has warned the U.S. over interfering with Syria again. John says that even with Trump having a senate that is very friendly to him and will always take his side, he still doesn’t trust their judgment. Cenk talks about how hypocritical Republicans are who were very critical of Obama interfering in Syria, who are now fine with Trump doing the same thing. Bombing the Syrian government is not part of the 2001 Use of Force Agreement. Alonzo says we’re doing this to show people how “strong” we are. Jimmy says that he’s skeptical about the reasons for the Syrian chemical attack, and that he doesn’t trust the government. Cenk’s theory is that the Russians and Trump worked on doing this together, because all Russia cares about are the sanctions. They don’t want to think the U.S. and the Russians are buddies, so Trump will bomb Syria and then the Russias can act mad. Jimmy agrees. The panel is glad that this was only a “fake” attack by the U.S., or at least one that wasn’t meant to do any real damag
