Trump using White Phosphorus in Syria
Remember when Trump bombed an Airstrip in Syria over Assad supposedly using chemical weapons? Apparently Trump is ok with US associated forces using White phosphorus
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/11/us-led-forces-accused-dropping-white-phosphorous-raqqa/US-led forces in Syria have been accused of dropping white phosphorous on districts in eastern Raqqa, as it battles to liberate the city from the Islamic State.
Video footage released by Amaq, the news agency run by Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil), appears to show the deadly substance falling on the Syrian capital on two separate occasions.
Raqqa is Being Saughtered Silently, an anti-Isil campaign group, has also released similar images on social media.
The use of white phosphorous in densely populated areas is banned under international law, though military forces are allowed to use it to create smoke screens

It\s horrible if true, but right now this appears to be nothing more than an accusation.
If true we need to know who ordered this stuff to be used.

Damn this post is full of failure. Not only did I not say it's okay if it turns out Trump ordered it, even suggestions of "you implied it!" are completely off the table here as well. That sucks.
