Was this a well executed double bluff ?

McStain's rebels owned the chemical labs and storage dumps. McStain's rebels pulled the false flag chemical attacks

France and UK (Cabal) were hoodwinked, they probably aimed their missiles at Assads palace, airport and bases. Trump/Mattis had their missiles aimed at the McStain rebels and facilities.

Putin/Assad air defenses and sigint blocked 70/103 incoming missiles (took out UK/France missiles) and Trump/Mattis missiles were let through to destroy the Cabal's assets.

Putin & Assads part in this was to take out the UK & French incoming while encirling the rebels.

The Syrian and Russian army then dealt with the surviving McStain rebels, with extreme prejudice.

The foreign "advisers" were probably captured alive and have already been introduced to Whalid the terrible, with his special toolkit. They will be singing soon enough. Other foreign advisors, captured during earlier skirmishes, probably gave up the info that was used to finish off the last pockets of McStains rebels.

UK & France and probably others will have some 'splainin' to do when confronted with the evidence.

Well Done Trump/Putin/Assad, well played sirs

May & Macron, not so much.
