So the Trump Administration, specifically Nikki Haley and Rex Tillerson went from saying that it was up to the people of Syria to decide what happens to Assad three days ago to now saying Assad cannot be the future leader of Syria..What changed??..Coherent well thought out policy...

Trump said the chemical attack change his mind???..Does he read intelligence at all??

CNN correspondent in Russia is saying that this is the final nail in the coffin if people thought the US and Russia would patch things up under the new Administration...Hmmmmmmmmmmmm..

Posted this a couple of days ago, didn't take long for it to come true. Hope there is a draft with no deferrals. That will put a stop to another quagmire in a hurry.

So Trump isn't a puppet after all.

But if this is just one strike it seems a bit futile dosen't it? I mean they still got 5 more bases.

Its more of a warning... and most likely directed at Iran, North Korea, and Russia and China by proxy.
Just means the soft politics is over... everyone needs to think before making a move.
Kissinger politics are back in action. Welcome to the Cold War and show of force.
If country is not asserting the force it has - it has no force.

Do as I say....

Or it's more of a show for the American people...Russia was told several times thruought the day about when and where the strike would happen, for which I'm sure they told Syria who moved the assets..

Bit of a reach IMO.
They made contact with on ground Russian forces to assure that their wasn't any Russian casualties. Seems like standard procedure to me. I don't know how you make the leap to that.
