In a high-risk move that has shocked many and worried many more, President Trump ordered the launching of cruise missiles on a Syrian airbase in response the use of chemical weapons, allegedly by Syria, on a city killing at lest 70 people including 20 children. Now Russia, as Syria’s ally, denounced the attack, verbally attacked President Trump, and declared that Russia and the US are “one step from war.”
It’s a surprise move for many reasons, not the least of which when seen in the light of President Trump’s repeated promotion of a more of a non-interventionist policy during his presidential campaign as well as his remarks seeking closer relations with Russia. With Russia and the US at odds of the this attack, not only have tensions risen, but that policy has been called into question.

not really… Russia needs us..
F**e
Oh, wow, so scared.
Putin, should worry, does it show that he knew about the Chemicals? probably,he should be denouncing Syria, not the USA.
Putin is a blowhard.
Really? Because you demand the right to gas little children?
Teddy said the Russians lied – we knew they lied- they knew they lied- they knew we knew they lied- and they lied anyway- this is why Nixon and Kissinger said you don’t deal with them on our terms because morality is not their base of authority- democrats can’t get that through their heads-
Nelu Cretu – If you’re talking about President Trump, then no he didn’t bomb Syrian Christians, he bombed the airfield, not civilians.
First of all, the warship was already on its way BEFORE the strike. Secondly, the Russians were warned BEFORE the strike took place. Thirdly, this was a warning that targeting civilians with chemical genocide would not be tolerated. And Fourth, I have seen other reports on this story, all favorable globally on this. So, which of the news stories is true? Remains to be seen.
Not impressed
