The Soviet era air defense systems didn't knock our cruise missiles down in desert storm, nor any other time we bombed Iraq. Nor now. Same defense systems are what protect north Korea.
This was a test.
COINCIDENCE north Korea's homeboy was with Trump when this went down?
I'd say if it were simply to destroy the puppet tinfoil hat conspiracy, Putin wouldn't be raging right now... He'd probably want talks on this, and make a back room deal. Not war mongering...
Me. If I were Trump, I'd kill 4 birds with one stone.
1. Cut a deal with Putin protecting his vested interests in Syria
2. Exchange Putin's second rate military to aid the hunting and killing of ISIS and other radicals.
3. Seal team six Assad.
4. Leave Russia to babysit Syria
^When you put the cheat code in for winning^
Aside from not being able to trust Russia to 'babysit' any country rather than invade and control it, "Leave Russia to babysit Syria," sounds way too much like Rumsfeld's "this will be a cakewalk" and "Mission Accomplished".
More likely it would be Colin Powell's "you break it--you own it."
I don't think it was Putin's idea but I do believe that Trump asked Putin's permission first and he told Trump where to bomb.
That's just as stupid. He gave them 1 hour, enough time for them to clear out.. or would you rather he killed Russians. Even left loon O’Donnell’s conceded that it did make sense to notify Russia in advance of the strike to avoid further escalation.
lolol.. I knew the left was so crazy they would think this.. lolol...Putin's idea.. lololol
They know all they have to do is plant the seed. The irrational soldiers on the ground will do the rest. They've been doing this for along time. Hitler called these types useful idiots.

And you do realize that by notifying Russia, he also notified Syria?
This is an entirely plausible theory. Putin sees that the heat is on his handpicked choice for President and he wants to come to his rescue. By using easily accessible back channels (ringing up Tillerson, for example) he tells Trump to bomb Syria and that he will make sure he has his people out of the way. He might even have given him the coordinates on where he should send the missiles.
And so far it has worked. It has taken the heat off of him for the time being and refocused peoples attention away from his own administration working with Russian trolls to tilt the election in his favor.
Clinton bombed Iraq at the height of his Lewinsky "scandal" and Republicans accused it of being a diversion, which it likely was. Same with the airfield bombing.

What I believe is you need a vacation from this liberal insanity.
