It's amazing to see how many Putin supporters or Russian trolls are active on FR.

Like this guy?

Trump doesn't like our involvement in Syria and for good reason, because it looks like one of those open ended committments with no end in sight.

I, on the other hand, think a modicum of involvement to keep the Iranians out and the Russian's bogged down at minimal cost to ourselves is a strategic asset.

And Trump is the one who drew another line at chemical attacks: my guess is that the Syrians and/or Iranians did this on their own without Russian involvement because it's not in Russia's interests to provoke us again. Or, they planned this as a response to our massacre of Russian mercs a few weeks ago, in which case they think they can prevail or at least give us a bloody nose.

Hard to tell.

And “we will shut down the government if we have to but WE WILL BUILD THAT WALL”

I have been a faithful supporter of trump. I like to believe he is a man of his word. I was deeply shaken when he signed the Omnibus spending bill that gutted the wall. But if we attack Russia/Syria with no evidence that this was them,( when it is obviously the jihadis), we are looking at a political suicide and the needless death of thousands of our troops. I will go to the streets.
