I flipped out when I first heard, but the more quantity I read has me thinking we should trust Trump at this point.
Little things like Russia’s official statements sounding a bit phoned in.
And of course Israel saying they were given the heads up, and that they know it was Syria gassing their own.
I am willing to wait and see.
“Little things like Russia’s official statements sounding a bit phoned in.”
Their UN “warning” to us was certainly pro forma. Kabuki theater as was Nikki Haley walking out on them. Putin had already been notified so that we wouldn’t be killing his people. Or apparently any Syrians.
The Tomahawks blew up planes and the airbase in general. It was a serious warning to quit the gassing, more than Clinton vs the fabled aspirin factory. And I suspect that it focused some minds in Tehran and Pyongyang. Bathhouse Barry Obama is gone and there’s a new sheriff in charge.
It’s something I was unhappy to see at first. I have warmed up to it, but the next few days may not be as rosy as we want. We’ll have to see what the fall-out is.
I’m willing to wait too. There’s plenty of time to go negative if that turns out to be the right thing to do.
These first few hours are interesting to watch, the reactions here.
