Trump informed Russia before he informed America or Congress of strikes

[Johnny2X2X]

That's the story here. Trump called his bosses in Russia before calling Congress or his bosses in America. Pathetic.

1. You are exactly right.

I'm listening to npr "on point", they are covering a lot of trump collusion & misadventures, not just Syria. I am impressed, all other msm seems to have conveniently forgotten trump russia mess. Thank You for post.

and that despite so many missiles, only fuel areas got bombed, plus NO Russian anti-missiles were fired.

2. That is part of an agreement that's been in place for years.

Because the U.S. and Russia are in the same air space (for different purposes), we've agreed to notify each other when something's coming through to avoid collisions or other unintended mishaps.

Now Russia is saying they might back out of the agreement, but whatever.

3. This is standard operating procedure

Take anything Russia says in the aftermath of the strike as for public consumption only.

4. Apparently Fox isn't telling that story because I heard several Republicans

saying Trump didn't do like Obama and tell them he was going to attack.

6. How is this not treason?

7. Because it's the same standard Obama used

As noted up thread, there is a process in place, that has been there for a long time, of mutual notification.
