If there's 100% solid proof of responsibility lets see it.

Can't believe we're falling for this again. Syria is a disaster zone, there are no good sides, i've go no answers, but missiles won't help and possibly makes things much much worse for us all. (and why is it always us that has to get involved with the US ? We're a minor nation these days, - where are Ireland, Sweden, Mongolia, Turkey etc etc? Maybe they have too much sense, don't want to waste their time/money and value their own security. Seems like we're so desperate for a trade deal we're currying favour with Donald at any cost.

As for the Russians - sanctions are hitting them big time. Hit them with lots more; money hurts them most.

As the OPCW are going in to investigate tomorrow I would imagine no action will be taken until the publish their findings.
