and predictable. They did as much damage to the Syrian airforce as a practice attack on the Nevada desert.

Everyone from the Russians to the press core to my pet schnauzer knew it was coming.

Now the "investigation" is off the front page for a few days, Putin and the orange maniac can pretend to disagree about something, and the US can act tough to get the Archie Bunkers excited again.

No one in Trumpland cares about Syrians (unless they can be used for cheap labor or cannon fodder).
