Why isn't more being made out of...?

OK, so the media wants to praise tRUMP for these airstrikes, but why isn't more being made out of why they were even needed in the first place??! If tRUMP and his administration hadn't said that the Syrian people need to take care of themselves now without our interference, then maybe Syria wouldn't have chemically assaulted its citizens! So, tRUMP now can draw out great praise from the media on the airstrikes, but receives no criticism for starting what resulted in the airstrikes in the first place??! After 2013, no more chemical gas in Syria under Obama, but less than 3 months into tRUMP's administration, he does something to trigger Syria to gas his people, and no criticism for that??! Unbelieveable!!

It's obvious. There is evidence emerging that supports Russia was 'helpful' in the gassing.

We have the whole Trump team marching lock step that Syria wasn't something he was gonna take action on, Putin calls, says "I need for you to bomb air strip."

The Russians are tough talking in the bombing aftermath, it looks to me like they're behaving the way you would expect them to behave, but it all seems a bit too tidy.

They're doing what Putin wants, it's the only thing that makes sense.
