ABC.AU still gets it at least.

The sidebar to this article: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-04-07/us-launches-cruise-missile-strike-on-syria/8425132

Key points:

About 60 US Tomahawk missiles targeted Syrian airbase near Homs
Donald Trump said missile attack in the nation's "vital national security interest"
Syria's ally Russia was given advance warning

I don't think the world is climbing onboard with US cable news this time at least. Trump will no doubt get a surge in the US, we're stupid and easily distracted, but it remains to be seen if it resonates globally.
