In reply to the discussion: The Alt-Right is very unhappy with their messiah tonight. [View all]WePurrsevere
(24,259 posts)28. Thank you for this. And I'm sure Putin told Assad so Syria was ready...

Oh and Putin's 'supposedly' upset with Trump for the attack on the ONE base that Putin KNEW was coming and apparently warned Assad was coming.

Some are saying Trump bombing Syria was a PR stunt. That would make sense but considering everything else I'm thinking it's more of a distraction from the Trump Russia investigation.
Attacking Syria, especially w/o Congressional approval, goes against what Trump has pushed HARD previously so he's either very desperate to change the topic/increase 'ratings' or totally lost his marbles and given in to fascists like Bannon.
