Could be the start of something new, but what?

The USA entered WWI 100 years ago today. April 6 1917.

There were also Russian at the base who were at the base who were given advanced warning to vacate.
So, there were Russians at a base that has a chemical weapons depot, and the Russians were supposedly in charge of removing and policing Syria's chemical weapons stockpiles.
We have a problem.

You have to presume that this is all known to the National Security people, no?

We spend $95 million blowing up a deserted airfield, and Putin gets to act all peeved.
Don't you just love kabuki theater?

This was a violation of international law, and like the invasion of Iraq the justification may not even be accurate. I worry about this approach in North Korea. MIC gets its way no matter what. Militarization and destroying the nation state which threatened Israel seems to be our path. However, North Korea is a real threat to America, and if this method is used it will be hundreds of thousands of deaths which will most certainly happen. If this was an indirect message to North Korea, and American intelligence gave the Presidency certainty of where this chemical attack originated, perhaps this was the only decision which made sense.
I am not saying this was the right decision. I am not even saying it was the wrong decision. I am not saying that a President should be handcuffed and only act with Congress. I am simply saying without more information, I am uncertain what the upside of this action was, and what future concerns I have in another context.

You sure use a lot of words to not say anything.
