Paul Scott isn't an idiot. You said Trump "bombed the hell" out of Russia supported Syria. Actually Trump ordered a Tomahawk cruise missile attack on a Syrian air base. The 59 missiles cost about 60 million dollars not counting the cost of the naval action, and did little damage. The Syrian air base was functional in less than 24 hours. That's not "bombing the hell" out of anything, that's a pretend attack and a huge waste of money, that didn't deter Syria for even a single day. Anyone who thinks this was anything more than a waste of money is, as you say, an "idiot".
