    Our Naval and air power would crush Russian forces.

    The Russians are so far behind us in missile tech, it's laughable.

    In short, WE HIT WHAT WE INTEND TO; they RARELY, if EVER, manage that, especially with the kind of range we just demonstrated in Syria.

    Putin knows it, just like the leaders of the former USSR knew that SDI ( ridiculed by asinine democrats, claiming satellite guidance of weapons, was impossible...like "Star Wars". We now do just that, worldwide. Idiots.) was the end of them.

    Russia won't do squat. Obama is GONE, and believe you me, they know it, BIGTIME.

    For every lie told by the Russian government, there will be one told by the US government to match them. A reasonable person would be skeptical of both governments and use their own judgment.

    As it stands, I've seen no proof in support of either claim. All I know is that this attack will be like the last attack: Empty symbolism meant to give Trump the appearance of toughness. But it won't work. The Trump-haters in both parties will not stop trying to destroy him no matter how many times he weakly attempts to placate them. And they will settle for nothing less than "regime change" in Syria and total conflict with Russia. If Trump does not give it to them, then they will just get their Al Qaeda proxies in Syria to stage another chemical incident and blame it on Assad. They've already proven how easy it is to fool people with this gimmick, so they will just keep doing it until it stops working. And Trump will either have to give them what they want or be a man and finally challenge this transparent bullshit.
    Silly. They lie about military matters, especially outrages like the gas attack, always. They have lied in every weapons limitation treaty they ever signed.

    Saying that they "colluded" with Trump would not serve their purposes,would it?

    You're grasping at straws, now. WHY?

    Are you upset that our military has just proven its lethal efficiency?

    WHY?
