iran and not syria s greatest ally, russia. vladimir putin called the military action illegal and a blow to u.s.-russian relations. he has deployed one of his warships to the eastern mediterranean toward our navy distress that launch the air strike last night. secretary of state rex tillerson goes to russia next week. will he be able to get to the to rethink its support for bashar al-assad? international filaments overnight with a very bold, decisive move but president trump and when some critics are saying is not in accord with his prior statements that he has made. which i think is fine. it is a little bit jarring for people who might have been supportive of such action when president obama faced the same decision and didn t do it. i feel like what president trump did last night was put america back on the geopolitical map.
