Let’s hope it was not the US, and let’s also hope it does not kill Russians.

That’s stuff you can’t undo.

“Massive Explosions” Heard Above Syria Amid Reports Of Fighter Jets, Cruise Missiles Aistrikes; Pentagon Denies

Update: confusion, of course. According to Syria’s TV channels, there has been an “aggression on T4 airfield with several strikes, likely to be by the US”. Meanwhile Pentagon officials deny any US involvement. Which suggests that Israel may have taken the initiative to bomb Syria, although it is unclear if with or without Trump’s blessing:

I hope President Trump will not be trapped in a war overseas and lose focus (and funds) on continued great plans for America.

Deep State will try any way possible to stop MAGA.

Right now you’re just a teenager in the basement pretending.
