I still feel that any retaliation will come through Iran.

I'm just going off of putin.

He's not backed down or lost a international endeavor for quite some time. He's made his brand as international tough guy, bringing prestige and glory back to Russia.

Even when turkey shot down a Russian jet, he just doubled down, flew fighter escorts and dared them to try that again. To date, Turkey hasn't.

So I don't think he's going to take trump giving him a bloody nose without trying to show he's still top dog in syria.

This doesn't exclude the possibility that Iran does something, but I'm looking at putin. How he responds to this is going to be interesting.

This is a warning and an example to all. The Donald wasn't kidding about re-asserting US military power and leadership against bad bad people. What's left now, is to see how this all shakes out.

so much for all his defenders on US networks saying he really doesn't mean the shit he says...
 
Forget McMaster, according to Eric trump it was ivanka who convinced Donald to bomb Assad.

Guess she's the hawk.

Trump's lackey just said this http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/sean-spicer-hitler-didn-chemical-weapons-article-1.3043835

I wonder what Trump's jewish son in law and daughter think of that comment. Technically Trump's lackey and vicariously Trump, is correct, but most won't agree and will think of Zyklon B, or Carbon Monoxide etc

Hitler and the German army didn't resort to using chemical weapons on the battlefield would probably have been the best way to say that.
 
Moving on to North Korea,

China turns back all North Korean coal, fair enough.

Interesting was this little tidbit
To make up for the shortfall from North Korea, China has ramped up imports from the United States in an unexpected boon for U.S. President Donald Trump, who has declared he wants to revive his country's struggling coal sector.

Eikon data shows no U.S. coking coal was exported to China between late 2014 and 2016, but shipments soared to over 400,000 tonnes by late February.

Well played?
 
US seriously sending the world a message. Dropped the massive ordinance MOAB today in Afghanistan. 21000 pound bomb. They've never used the bomb before in combat. Largest non-nuke ordinance in the world.

Pay attention North Korea.

then the US will whine when someone kills a couple of their citizens with a pipe bomb
 
I also love how bleeding hearts think it will create more terrorists, like indoctrination isn't already doing that.
 
New report, 94 dead isil members from the massive ordnance air blast bomb,MOAB, zero civilians reported killed.

Who is opposed to this again?
 
But it will create moar terrorists. MOAR!

Need to hug it out with them.

Yes, any military action=bad to many people.

Doesn't matter if you wipe nearly a hundred scum of the earth out, the fact that a bomb was used =more terrorists and bad.
