Time to buckle up and hang on? Sounds like it from what Adam Kinzinger said on Morning Joe.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger said President Trump should approve airstrikes against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government and create a no-fly zone over the war-torn nation to provide cover for ground troops from Middle Eastern countries.

I heard him say to expect cruise missile strikes targeting Syrian runways, their anti-aircraft weapons and control facilities within the next 10 days or less.

When he was asked if our missiles were to kill Russian troops, wouldn't that escalate to a war with Russia?
Kinzinger said let the word get out that this is coming and that personnel (Russian or otherwise) should vacate the areas that will be targeted.

Putin likes Assad and Dolt45 likes Putin so I doubt anything more than window dressing occurs.

as for the no-fly, will we shoot down Russias fighters and bombers operating over Syria?

Have we any congressional authority to involve even the 500 to 1000 or more troops that we have recently engaged in Syria?

And having met him, i know i feel safer now that he is NOT in the military. (BTW: When campaigning around here, he pushed his combat record, and it turns out he was never within 300 miles of a hot zone.)

He's an idiot and a liar.
