Fuhrer Drumpfenfarten has a real problem.\u00a0 His best friend’s ally, Bashar Hafez al-Assad, Fuhrer of Syria, is gassing his own people with chemical weapons again.\u00a0 It is unlikely that he would do so without tacit approval from Vladimir Putin (R-RU), since he depends on Putin to keep him in power.\u00a0 Trump’s problem is that America understands this and is furious.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"0409Syria\"<\/p>\n

During his relatively brief time in politics, Donald Trump has viciously attacked respected politicians on both sides of the aisle, beloved public figures, many key U.S. allies, and most of the institutions of our democracy. In that time, Trump has been consistently afraid to say anything even remotely negative about Russian President Vladimir Putin \u2013 until now. So why is Trump suddenly ranting on Twitter about Putin right now? There explanation is probably pretty straightforward.<\/p>\n

Trump tweeted this about Putin on Saturday: \u201cMany dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price to pay. Open area immediately for medical help and verification. Another humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever. SICK!\u201d It\u2019s a very tame attack on Putin when compared to his usual attacks on other public figures. But he didn\u2019t have much of a choice here, and he knows it.<\/p>\n

The last time Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a chemical attack on his own people, the resulting horrific images prompted a public demand for action across the U.S. political spectrum. Even though Bashar is being propped up by Putin, Trump had to attack Bashar \u2013 or at least create the appearance of it. So Trump lobbed a few missiles at the outer edges of a Syrian air base that had conveniently already been evacuated, doing minimal damage<\/a>, and the air base was back up and running just days later. It was Trump\u2019s way of giving in to the American public\u2019s demand for action, without doing any actual damage to Putin\u2019s Syrian puppet…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Palmer suggests that Putin might have suggested that Trump attack him in a tweet.\u00a0 I think he’s right, but I don’t think America will consider the twit’s tweet as a sufficient response.\u00a0 I think it’s more likely that we will launce another airstrike, of which Putin is warned in advance, so Assad can get his assets clear again.<\/span><\/p>\n

I do, however, worry that Trump will take some action against Iran, who had nothing to do with it.<\/span><\/p>\n
