Donald Trump has told us he likes to be unpredictable. This art of the deal was on full display Thursday evening in Syria.
I have been writing for some time now about how Trump out thinks and out plans his rivals. He is a master chess player on the geopolitical stage, rivaling, or surpassing, the KGB spymaster, Putin. He prepares the battlefield before fighting. By the time he gets to the negotiation table, the deal is already done.
Vladimir Putin has needed an enemy to focus his people’s ire, to take their minds off their economic problems. This enemy, for the last decade, has been the United States. Enter Donald Trump, stage right.
Trump has been talking about working with Russia for two years. He has been offering an olive branch, saying “nice things” about Putin, to the derision of the Left and the Obama media. He has taken the arrows, and kept pressing, not reversing his course of wanting to have better relations with Russia, in spite of Chris Wallace and others making fun of him on their Sunday morning shows.
Now we know why.
..
In one brilliant stroke, Trump put Assad on notice, called out Russia’s support of this barbarism in a very public way, and frightened Iran, North Korea and China at the same time. Trump also drove a stake in the heart of the “Trump’s a Putin puppet” narrative.

Remains to be seen...
Any action that knocks the islams and the left is good.
Be prepared for the never trump trolls to spam your thread. Good article though.
I call those never trumper trolls in FR by their earned title: pussies.
Just an FYI for all, Jim Hoft, yeah, is reporting a Cernovich tweet that McMaster is working the Intel with the aid of Petraeus to convince Pres. Trump to send large ground forces to Syria. Now I think this report is evidence that Cernovich’s Rice story is proof that like stopped military clocks, Cernovich is right once a day. What say FR?
“never trump trolls”
Oh I don’t know.
They may not be never trump trolls.
I am of the mind on this specific topic that I tend to agree with Rand Paul on this issue - that this attack on Syria is not necessarily in the national interest. Having said that, I agree with this article. This does not make me a never trump troll.
#MAGA
But many Freepers have told me since Thursday that Trump betrayed us, he broke his promise, he’s been compromised by the Deep State and the NeoCons, that he’s a puppet of Jared and Ivanka. /s.
Be prepared for the #NeverTrumpers to come out in force. But they’re easy to spot and very transparent.
Guido .... you’re so butch!
This article reads like something written for one of the Kims: “As Dear Leader passed, the very birds sang his praises in human voices.”
Give us a break from this cult like adoration.
I googled ‘guido’: You are aptly named goombah.
In One Brilliant Stroke,
I agree..
The Trump Train is on Trake,
On Schedule and under Budget!
Trump has a high caliber cabinet, he is reported to be a good listener. It’s difficult to believe he fell for a cheap ploy and simply responded with a knee jerk reaction.
One nice side affect is how he pulled the rug out from under the “Trump is a Russian puppet” people. Well, except for the ones who think Russia arranged the whole gassing and then told Trump to send in the Tomahawks as a way to help Trump. Some people are truly bonkers.
This is what I hope is happening!
This is what I hope is happening!
You will all notice how much the Russians are howling about this.
I would guess they were in it up to their eyes. They made a big mistake in underestimating this new administration.
I am of the mind on this specific topic that I tend to agree with Rand Paul on this issue - that this attack on Syria is not necessarily in the national interestToo bad some people don't understand how one thing affects another...Ignorance is bliss
So are you implying this article is not accurate and not based in truth?
“Too bad some people don’t understand how one thing affects another...Ignorance is bliss”
And yet, I agree with this article.
