      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.

          and the ones that have his ear are interventionist to the core, so I feel justified in taking this as a worst case scenario.

          When he acts capricious and unpredictable, we always discover there was a reason. There was a point I question everything about this story.

          I'm tempted to agree that this is an example of the "Crazy Mother-f*cker Doctrine" ala Kissinger, but nobody around Trump is that smart.

          Why the fuck should the US be bombing Syria? People will indiscriminately be killed as is always the case with war.

          Assad gave him the finger w/chem attack. Given Trump's personality, it was super measured response.
