Vox: “President Donald Trump just tweeted a warning that an attack on Syria is imminent — breaking his own policy of not signaling upcoming military moves.”
Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!

“Let’s step back for one moment and realize the gravity of what happened.

It’s unsettling that Trump made this kind of statement at all — and it’s even more jarring that he tweeted it.”
