^^ Ask thugs like Assad, Putin and Rouhani to cooperate on a matter and they'll very likely laugh you off. In fact that happened continually during the Obama administration, though none so blatant as when Putin invaded Ukraine and seized the Crimean Peninsula. And given that fact, they've all been allowed to run over everybody from their neighbors to the UN Security Council for the past 8 years, all while the Obama Administration basically through naiveté or stupidity bragged them up about it on national TV. That is when Obama did not feel compelled to appear in the well of the UN himself to set everybody straight, as he did to explain about the video that caused the attack on our embassy compound in Benghazi.

So when Trump stepped to the plate he asked... then he demonstrated through the first attack on Syria that he was not like his predecessor, did not sip hot cocoa and wear mom jeans, nor ascribe to the foregoing administration's idea of "21st Century thinking."

But I digress. This last attack caught them all off guard IMO, because Putin et-al, gambled that the pressure being put on this administration by the rabid chipmunks still lurking about from the Obama administration and the loyal left wing media, would be enough to cause Trump to blink. Wrong. And BTW, this attack was quite a bit bigger. And did anybody other than me notice the media's dogged attempts to say that we had to ask permission from Russia to launch this attack in the first place? I guess in their minds, Russia heads up the 'Global Community' they all long to see come to fruition.

At any rate, first we asked. Then we shoved. Now we've punched Assad in the mouth. Point made. And we'll see now if America has the gumption to retain hold on her own sovereignty.
