We're not quite here yet, but I expect we see one of these eventually regarding Assad.
"The first assaults on Baghdad begin shortly following the 01:00 UTC expiry of the United States' 48-hour deadline for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his sons to leave Iraq."

Russia the winner here--get to sell syria some destroyed jets/equipment while getting to point at US being the bad guys and didn't get anyone on their end (syria lost a handful) I believe killed.
I don't think Russia wins when we make an offensive attack on land that belongs to one of their allies in the Middle East.
No one in the Western world is going to think the USA is the bad guy here, dude. Russia is the bad guy for supporting Assad.

McMaster noted it doesn't stop syria from doing it more; hopefully it's just more or less a message.
This means there will be more assaults.

Still, if the pentagon is behind this they'll get trump to do whatever they want since in like 24 hours the president of the united states literally flipped a 180 on a world position and blasted stuff.
If the latter sentence isn't scary as hell to you, I don't know what to say.
To me, it is less scary than Trump being truly in charge himself. Also Trumps knows how much **** they have on him - he is going to do whatever our military and intelligence tell him.
