I agree.

The Trump administration acted as if it answers to the Kremlin instead of Congress.

How can that be?

Because Russia is a superpower and not to would be a serious mistake.

I agree with you there.

But there is nothing wrong with giving a well-deserved spanking to Assad while putting the lie to the "Trump is a Russian puppet" meme.

It's going to be fun watching the anti-Trumps continue their "investigations" -- which were already ridiculous.

Wake up and think.

The Kremlin is ticked about Trump's legal strike.

Since Russia is there and in large force, it makes sense to alert them - especially so no "friendly fire" happens. You are kind of daft if you can't see this.

The original derp liberal line was that Trump was a puppet of Moscow - now that he has ticked Moscow off in a major way - some liberals have moved on to he is a war monger line...something that they wouldn't say about Obama who did quite a bit of bombing and arming of terrorists.

The only chem weapons used in the USA are deployed by police.

President Trump reacted and the Syrians are glad for it. The Syrians don't want to leave their country. They want to rebuilt it and stay and live in peace. Don't think that those who hate us will not come here to try and kill us. They will.
Yeah, be afraid.

That's what you're told to do.

That's the 'party line' for the papers...but what do we know for sure -- we are puppets to Putin these days.

It could be interpreted that way-- good point.

He wasn't about to bomb the U.S. Congress.

He was about to bomb a military base used by the Russians.

I guess you don't see the difference, though.
