Just a few minutes back, I read this news of US striking suspected Chemical weapons airbase of the Syrian Government:
Now, this might be a right step, but has this been done rightly?
Where is United Nations?
Where is United Nations Security council(UNSC)?
Were not UN and UNSC supposed to decide and sanction such attacks.
The Trump Government spokesperson has told that Russia were pre-informed about these strikes.
Yet I have a feeling this will not correct the things, but could in some ways worsen things.
What do you say?
Fifty-nine Tomahawk missiles were launched from the USS Porter and USS Ross striking multiple targets - including the airstrip, aircraft and fuel stations - on the Shayrat Air Base, which the Pentagon says was used to store chemical weapons.

Lie upon lie upon lie. Do you still believe the war-mongering mass media over independent journalists on the ground?
In answer to your 'where's the UN' question... the US acts & almost always has acted independently of the UN.
The UN has & should have no military power in a civil war. Nobody is doing a better job at winning the war on terror than Syria & Russia together.
I heard there were just 8 Syrian lives lost in the US attack, so maybe that was a good thing Mr Trump did to inform Russia who then informed their Syrian ally. And maybe that 20% of the Syrian Air-force were aging out-dated old planes maybe used for training or something & Assad can get them written off or something.
Here's what happened in the last "Chemical Weapons Attack", bearing in mind Syria's Chemical Weapons were all confiscated back in 2013, after the last Chemical Attack, which Syria never did:
The U.S. military forces on the ground in Syria knew that the chemicals came from an Al-Qaeda base, as stated by Russia & Syria. President Trump was lied to by individuals in his national security/intelligence chain of command. He must find out who & sack them, then set up a UN investigation as this is a clear breach of international law, then sue the living daylights out of any of his security/intelligence advisors who had anything to do with this lie.
Now, as I was saying, U.S. forces on the ground in Syria knew that this wasn't a Syrian government chemical attack. The Syrians hit an Al-Qaeda base which was storing chemical weapons used by the terrorists, even though Syrians thought it to be an ammo dump at first. U.S. forces on the ground did the right thing & reported that it was Not a Syrian chemical weapons attack right up the chain of command as per procedure. The United States forces had been notified of the Syrian mission before it took place and knew about the Syrian targeting. Someone either deliberately lied to the President about this information or kept it from him. Unfortunately there's no direct line between US ground forces & President Trump; things would have turned out differently otherwise. The lie about on the ground intelligence documenting a chemical weapons attack by the Syrian Air Force came from the White Helmets group, created by the British, financed by the British Defense Ministry & totally penetrated by & supporting ISIS & Al Nusra terrorists. The other cited “proof” comes from the Syrian Human Rights Observatory that consists of just one person, living in London, who is notorious for widely disseminating inaccurate information, as has happened many, many times in the recent past. The world's elites want war at any price. This does not ever benefit The People.

Yes @arthurchappell things do not look quite good, and the situation is a bit worrisome.
