Quote:The U.S. military launched fresh air strikes against pro-Assad forces in Syria, officials told Fox News Thursday.

The American strikes were the first against Assad positions since the Pentagon rained 57 Tomahawk missiles on the Shayrat air base near Homs. But the strikes confirmed Thursday were believed to be the first targeting Syrian personnel. According to the defense official, the coalition strikes targeted pro regime units operating in the vicinity of At-Tnaf. After a show of force to try to stop the pro regime forces was ignored, the strikes were mounted.

LOL. Time for a new diversion.

Step one.. Ask Putin for permission.
Step two. If Putin says 'go ahead' tell him where the attack is
Step three. Attack some empty fields
Step four. Claim that you attacked Assad.

We just lobbed some missiles at an empty hillside, most likely. If they were real people attacked there, I'll bet they weren't really Assad's forces.

Why not just lob some missiles at Assad's HQ in Damascus?

step five. step away from the keyboard and seek psychological help

If, in fact, the US is doing this, they should go all in after Hezbollah, and sign write "1st batallion 8th marines" and "khobar towers" on every single bomb that's dropped. It wouldn't hurt for Trump to make mention of Reagan's peacekeeping mission.

Putin won't authorize that raid. Hezbollah and Assad are aligned. My guess is that there was some internal beef between Assad and one tiny group of loosly affiliated militia members. He then got Putin to get Trump to do his purging for him.
