Why aren't more countries involved in the air strikes?
Of such a limited nature? Not needed.
OK.

Put it another way. Why is it always us? Plenty of UN members have the tools but it's always our people and money.
It should not be forgotten that the countries that have taken the action are 3 members of the 5 seat permanent security council at the UN .
So are last nights strikes funded by the whole of the UN security council? Or are we firing off multi million dollar strikes for the good of mankind out of the kindness of our hearts?

You are aware that those missiles have been bought and paid for and have a use by date on them?

Oh, well. In that case, we better use them all up, hadn't we? I do hope a use by date isn't a key factor in deciding whether to launch strikes.

That is the cold hard truth at the end of the day ,you either fire them down a range somewhere or fire them at people
