      1. A few quick thoughts on attack on Syria. The Russians were notified, so we're not going to have WWIII. Get out of the bomb shelter.

      2. As @TonyKaron rightly notes, this is more war theatre than an actual sustained intervention:https://twitter.com/TonyKaron/status/850163346267680769 …

          3. I agree with @RobynUrback on one crucial point: what's worrisome is Trump's capriciousness & unpredictabilityhttps://twitter.com/RobynUrback/status/850163164583010305 …

          Assad's war crimes absolutely merited U.S. action, but Trump's sudden, complete about-face is somewhat unnerving

          4. Not just on foreign policy but in general Trump has very few core convictions & he can be rolled by those who have an agenda.

          "War theatre" still kills people. Why does US military aggression get an automatic pass from the media if it's not an all out invasion?

          After 9-11 you still buy the Bush line on AQ? "I’m not gonna fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt."

          Well I think many people could do without this type of "theater"

          True, but I wouldn't dismiss the deaths caused as "theatre".

          Yes, this will only be as bad as that (which gave 09/11 proximal cause)
