Certainly not 18+ months ago.
EDIT: same fate for this submission:
"Unlike weak Obama, who let others walk all over his red line, TRUMP did what needed to be done!"
You can come up with pro & con arguments for anything if you try.
Most people don't want to look at the net of those pro and cons, and simply select only some, this is how we get polarization.

"Trust Trump." "We don't know what Trump knows. I trust him to make the right decision." "He wouldn’t do this if it weren’t appropriate. I’m not happy about the decision but it’s not like we are deploying battalions to restructure their government." "Unless you are in a very small circle of people receiving daily intelligence briefings, you do not know anything, you can only guess and play armchair President."
Of course, none of these people would have extended the same courtesy to President Obama, and they've been playing armchair Secretary of State for like three years.
On the other hand there are quite a number of people who are genuinely disappointed or unhappy, which is - oddly - pretty heartening.
UK along for the ride. As always.
They claim that they're only striking "chemical weapon research facilities". Looks like it's 4am there, so I guess not a lot of people in research facilities (plus they've been forewarned of the potential strikes)
