Trump's claim that he was changed so much by the latest Asaad chemical attack is suspect, i believe, in light of the fact that he said long ago that America should stay
out of Syria (i think he said that after Asaad had used chemical warfare) .. and in light of his, since being president, virtually giving Putin the green light for whatever.
Trump's military action now am guessing is more for public consumption and, in Trump's mind anyway, to get the Russian campaign meddling off center stage, than anything else.
The strike you reported has just being reported on Sydney tv now.
