His intent was not to kill people.

His intent was to send a message that the US is prepared to strike those who do stupid things.

He was not trying to start a war. He was trying to set a clear message.

I heard it was only Rusia, which logically says that Syria was warned too, since Russia and Syria are joined at the hip.

No shite. I know this. The point is that's not what he has been saying for the past 5-6 years when he was bitching about obama. I'm pointing out that once he was in office he flipped and did exactly what he was bitching about before taking office.

He didn't know what in the hell he was talking about before

And Russia suspended this right after the tomahawk attack. Good try

The difference between stating you are moving 200 SF troops into a specific area in Iraq in the next few weeks to perform a specific task isn't in the same neighborhood as warning off the Russians to get there Ivan's off an airfield.

But I guess you have a gotcha moment.

First, 59 tomahawks is hardly an attack. More like a "hey, piss off"

Second, he's not trying to start a war. You don't just bomb a country with Russian forces in it without warning them, unless you're trying to kick off WW3.

So, you're saying he's just playing games with our military.

Well, that's all we need.

I think he warned Russia. When they started pulling shite off the base, I would imagine the Syrians noticed.

You arguably have to warn Russia (I think we probably could have gotten away with a few deaths without any real reprecussions, see Turkey).


Campaign Trump was someone who lacked any real grounding in objective reality, when you're President reality has a way of imposing itself.

Because killing Russians means automatic escalation by Moscow. Just like if Russia killed Americans.

From what I've read he warned the Russians who in turn told the Syrians who evacuated most of their personnel and moved a lot of equipment. This , of course, resulted in a much less successful raid.
