This is just bat shit crazy.
Last week the Trump administration said "We will have to live with Assad". Now we demanding his removal and bombing his country.
We've bombed Syria, told Assad "not to do this again", Trump is demanding his removal, but also saying "We will not get involved in the civil war". Meanwhile, Russia is saying "You had better not bomb Syrian forces again".
I've been saying this all along - This is very complicated. There are Syrian forces, Russian forces, ISIS, and a dozen other "rebel" groups some of which are terrorists. Russia has been propping up Syria for decades, and they are not about to change their stance.
