Blowback - More evidence for the wisdom of non-interventionism

There are a number of reasons to not like (or vote for) President Trump. It was only four or five years ago since Trump correctly criticized Obama's foreign policy in North Africa and the Middle East (particularly Syria). Then, in the first 100 days of his presidency, he pulled his most hypocritical move to date - the bombing of the Syrian air base used to launch (chemical?) attacks on ISIS in northeastern Syria (or should I just call it ISIS?).

We all know of the recent bombing in Manchester, England. Today the bomber's sister said that the suicide attack in England was revenge for Trump's launching of cruise missiles on the Syrian air base.

This is as good an example of what Ron and Rand Paul call "blowback" as there is.
