Ty actually almost made a decent point...for once. If past presidents never waged war over these incidents, how could Trump?

But the accumulation of all these incidents seems justifiable, although that wasn't a large part of Trump's reasoning. I'm of the belief you don't attack a country on what they might possibly perhaps do someday, which was a large part of Trump's reasoning.
