“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.
Yeah, I hate who all is on board (pelosi, brits, McCain) but this seems to be the correct response from the new Sheriff if Assad did gas his own people.
