What a load.
First Obama is weak, then, "The argument against such an escalation is that it may benefit the Islamic State and al-Qaida. This was the case U.S. military leaders made to Obama back in 2013 when he punted his red line promise to Congress. But back then the U.S. was not engaged in a war against jihadis in Iraq and Syria." Aside from being contradictory, let's  not forget that it was the Republicans in Congress refused Obama's request to authorize a strike. 

Then there's the whole Trump sending a message about Russia. No.  Until Trump actually does something substantial directly to Russia -  like unambiguously condemning him for directly contributing to the loss of Syrian lives - and imposing serious sanctions for it, any such message is a total fail.  What happened could even be seen as collusion between Trump and Putin to pretend there's a breach.  It's just not enough.
