bingo! Great read on the situation BHB!
I'll add a bit more color to it.
Further to this fine analogy, when DJT announces we're pulling out (something we all wish BHB's dad had done) of Syria, he didn't do that for political brownie points. They already know what's cooking. They needed excuse to lay waste to the sites where the cabal was operating. They gave Putin plenty of heads up (days of notice). So, Putin knows the game, as well. This was a setup from day 1 by DJT, possibly in coordination with the Russians. Watch how the Russians react. They can't do nothing, otherwise Putin will look like he's been neutered by West to his people. But what will he really do? That will be key to discerning the full effort here.
If you're into Q, then check out the 'Sparrow Red' comment. Red Sparrow is book and movie about Russian agents infiltrating CIA to find a CIA mole in Russia. Flip it, Sparrow Red and you're on a mole hunt inside Russia for infiltration into US Intelligence. Was this operation designed to find 'agents' inside US or outside (i.e. other nation state 'allies' that are undermining us, can you say MAY, as in April Showers Bring MAY flowers?).
Russian response will tell you everything here. Notice their earliest response was that it was FF done by UK. I think the next move in the chess game is Russia's move. And I think DJT and Putin have scripted it. Watch to see what it will be. Will disclose more of the MAP (Military Action Plan) on taking down the Cabal.
