So...well be bombing another empty airbase again?

Yawn.

This seems like deja vu.

We send signals to Assad that he’s off the hook, he immediately gasses his own people, Trump pretends to be outraged/blames Obama in a kabuki theater attempt of feigning disapproval at Master Putin, and then we’ll bomb an empty airbase after notifying the Russians in advance.

Same old song playing out again. Come back next spring and it will happen again.

That's some catch that Catch-22.
