For myself, I think that Trump has conceded Syria to Putin. The missiles were meant to convey the message that Assad has to stay within the confines of chemical weapons conventions, but not much more.

As usual, the Kurds are going to be the victim here. Everyone around them treats them appallingly. They need America to support them. Bigly. But Trump won't dare. Meanwhile, NATO member Turkey is gradually moving in Putin's direction, which is a massive shift in the regional balance of power.

The US now only has Israel and Saudi Arabia as significant regional allies. Worrying times. Putin clearly wants to control the world's energy supplies.

Trump actually sounded measured as he read from the prompter last night. Of course he made it sound like he was going to bomb for an extended time.

'Mad dog' Mattis knocked that down, this was a one-off.
Apparently he & Bolton disagree (no surprise) I expect this will come down to a showdown at some point.

and Trump got to change the topic! also a one-off, today is another day.

A one-night operation, the strikes in Syria targeted a research facility, a command post and what was believed to be a stockpile of sarin gas

Residents of Damascus, the capital, woke to the sounds of multiple explosions shaking the city before the dawn call to prayer. The city and the hills are surrounded by military facilities, and it appeared that these were among the first targets.
