If Russia has no control, then Russia needs to get her ass out of Syria.

The situation in Syria is stable. The Tomahawks were just a message from Trump communicating that they need to get their act together. First he Tweets then he Tomahawks.

There is no change in policy. The US is not going to invade Syria.

AH, Ya, and they will give up their only naval Base outside of the old Soviet Union.

Aint gonna happen. BTW, Jan of this year they got an agreement from Syria to expand that small base.

That might be why Russia is in Syria?

For what gain would Assad be behind the civilian gassing? I might believe it if he hit the entire town like Hafaz Assad did in Hama. This small attack did absolutely nothing to further Assads position. Instead it imperils his regime. Who would be behind that if that was the goal? Didn't something similar happen in the last gas attack in 2013? I thought it was found that shell couldn't have been fired from known government positions because it didn't have the range?

Not sure but I don't trust the story. Looks more like a black flag event from the little I know.
