and it was true when he was criticizing Obama-who pawned it off to Putin in any case.
What if??? Syria uses chemical weapons in the next days, months, years? The Pentagon has already said they did NOT target the stockpiles. They notified Russia through diplomatic channels well before the attack, which means Syria knew it was coming. Assad will be standing tomorrow, perhaps even appearing and showing he is still there.
As I said, I'm not saying that US shouldn't have acted, but while not announcing it to the press, they certainly did allow the major players to know in advance.

There almost always is. Correct me if I'm wrong but the miltary has a duty to reject an order if the president doesn't seem rational. For example if Trump saw those photos, looked angry and then ordered missles to be fired. I mean the generals and security officials aren't robots.
Russian military troops DID NOT conduct and ARE NOT conducting military actions against Ukraine.
If you think I am wrong please do enumerate the numbers of Russian and Ukrainian units (brigades, regiments, companies, platoons) from both sides engaged, or stop talking your propaganda shit.
To compare, in 2008 the 58th Army acted to stop Georgian aggression against South Osetya and сontingent of international peacekeepers.

You stop your bullshit propaganda. We all know that Russia has used troops, guns, political upheaval, assassinated political leaders in the Ukraine, recently assassinated a Russian dissident in the Ukraine. They did the same in Crimea.
Regardless of your enjoyment of poetry, you have not fooled anyone with your propaganda for Russian and your anti-American bias.
