Let's see if his next move is more effective than launching a bunch of half million dollar missiles in order to put an airfield out of commission for a day. I didn't much care for the pictures of intact fighter jets sitting in hardened shelters that took some damage but did their jobs.
If you think back to the supposed chemical attack by Assad in 2013 and the call to invade Syria at the time then this current attack looks much like that earlier one. There are two problems with the conclusion that Assad carried out this latest attack. First, is that Syria gave up its stockpile of chemical weapons. Second, with the help of Russia he was winning and no doubt remembers what the pretext for last attempt at regime change was.
Given how long the deep state has wanted Assad out of the way and now that Trump appears to be setting the stage for another call for regime change I can only conclude that he has made his deal with them. It looks like the neocons get their war despite Hillary's loss.
