for those that are confused… we hit 3 chemical weapons sites that the rebels utilized. the very rebels, that are supported by various deep state actors in the US (think mccain) and abroad. trump and putin are playacting… and we are helping him cleanup russia. russia has a lot of very powerful and very rich oligarchs. putin does what he can to deal with them, but he is already branded as a dictator… so it is much easier for the US to just levy a bunch of sanctions on russia. those sanctions only end up helping putin and russia overall by helping to drain their swamp. similar operations are happening in coordination with xi in china as well.
OR
you can believe that trump, who has made a point to repeatedly state since he was campaigning… that we will not telegraph our military plans…. suddenly decides to ditch that policy and announce our intention to withdraw from syria. THEN after the chemical weapons attack he makes a bunch of statements about our intentions to retaliate. AND he just happens to pardon scooter libby on the day that the syria strikes happen.
a link to familiarize yourself with the fraudulent special council investigation of scooter libby and why his pardoning today is meant to send a message about syria.

excerpt:
Of course, the conviction had a devastating effect on Libby’s career, but it also subtracted a wise and seasoned voice from the government. The counter-insurgency strategy that won the war in Iraq in 2007-2008 might have occurred years earlier had Libby’s voice not been prematurely muted.
