So the nutball's fired off a few cruise missiles into Syria, and the world applauds...
I mean, it's Syria, stop the murder of Innocent Children, it's fine as long as it's not nerve gas, it's fine as long as your chopping off a hand, it's fine as long as...
Really, really now folks, lets just be real. It's fine to kill children. Everyone does it, the Americans as well (here, and here, and keep looking, you'll find more).
Here's a couple of links to catch you up with how complicated the situation in Syria has grown - arguably "started" by the destabilization of Iraq by the Americans. (Where did ISIS come from? What does it stand for?)

The Americans have never "won" a war in the Middle East - or improved a situation, however slightly. 50 odd - give or take - Tomahawk Cruise Missiles are not going to end or solve the conflict, they aren't going to influence Assad or Putin or anybody. Trump knows this. He's posturing - improving his image - while Barack Obama stood by and did nothing (and Trump tweeted his support for this view) Trump can say he's done his bit. And by "Angering" the Russians/Putin - probably not, they were given advance notice, and, again, that strike was minimal, he's "distancing" himself from the very government and people that helped to put him in power *(and be skeptical, this might well be collusion to throw a lot of late night comedians off the scent). And conveniently he begins to move his warships towards Korea - again, working for "world" stability - and having launched a minimal attack the North Koreans and China can see how erratic and "Just" he is, and perhaps be a little worried...
I used to think Trump was an idiot (Money, despite what every moneyed person will tell you, does not mean your intelligent.). Apparently he's not. But never for a moment think that he's acting in your interests. And maybe start hoarding the dry goods, because things will probably not improve and may well get an awful lot worse.
