Syria's As A Heart Attack
First up, Trump's base.
Now, they have a big, manly win to be proud of, and anyone left who is somehow surprised that "Never Trump" pundits and commentators will suddenly come around to embrace Trump, the guy who would fire missiles into Syria when wimpy, wussy Muslim Obama wouldn't, needs to get a lot of other things checked too. This was always going to happen, it just happened far more quickly than even I anticipated. If the "Never Trump" movement wasn't dead before, its death by self-flagellation using the huge war boner from this missile strike will come by the weekend. The stories on MikeFlynn go away, the hagiography of Mad Dog Mattis and H.R. McMaster being firmly in charge now are the story of the day. Can I get a Hoorah and a Semper Fi from the congregation?
And that brings us to number two on the list: the Village.
America's worthless media pundits do so love a good Tomahawk-ing of sandy countries full of swarthy men with funny clothing. They're falling all over themselves congratulating Trump this morning. FOX News has been running missile porn for hours and will for days. Serious-minded thinkers on the left and the right will tell us that Trump made the right choice, and that more importantly since we learned precisely nothing over the last 16 years, we'll be told once again that challenging this action is no longer allowed and that it's time to support "our president".

Number three of course is Putin and Assad.
The Russians want out of Syria and with both Assad and Trump working for Vlad, it's easy to game the system. This is the next phase of Moscow's plan, and it's working wonderfully so far. I know, you're saying "But if Putin wants out of Syria, why have Assad do something guaranteed to make Trump step in?" Well, what better way to disarm Russian critics in the US than to be the shadowy bad guy behind baby-gassing Assad, right? Russia can't possibly be working with Trump if we're at loggerheads in Damascus, you see, And Putin gets his cover, after all he wants this Russia investigation to go away too.
Besides, it's not like Putin and Trump are mortal enemies now. Both need each other. A chemical weapon attack followed by a bunch of cruise missiles that just happen to all get through Russian SAM defenses that are protecting Syrian air bases is a scheme that stinks so hard it's visible from space. Trump let Vlad know (and Vlad let Trump think it was his idea), Vlad let Bashar know, and anything important was not at that airbase that got blown up last night. A win for everyone involved, right?

This is a really good read, much more at the link. A slightly different theory.
