this gas attack makes no sense . It was a small attack , but it killed kids which makes it extra horrible .
What does Assad gain? He's wining the war, trump wants nothing to do with him. Why do this and bring thee world fury down on you?
Now who benefits ?
Putin! He has an election coming up . What better way to get the country behind him than standing up to USA aggression and Mid East terrorists ( who supposedly attacked the metro). False flags everywhere.
Rebels + Isis: They want Assad out . Isis wants western involvement as propaganda.
Trump. Looks like the tough guy, distracts away from all the investigations .
And why does Trump not question if it was Assad? He wants all kinds of proof from our intelligence community on everything ! But he's sure Assad did this?!
The target : an air base , supposedly no one is killed ?
The fix is on!
There were a couple of people dead supposedly.
But I'm failing to see why Putin cares that much about Syria in general. Sure, a base outside the former Soviet Union is nice for Russia, however, the war is not very popular in Russia and can backfire more than anything.
And he doesn't really need votes, the results are decided beforehand.
And it's not even like they can claim "international Socialist brotherhood" or whatever like they did when Russia was really communist and Assad Sr. was leader.
On the other hand, Trump would like the sabre rattling in order to divert attention from the Congressional investigations.
