KW: Decent commentary about the current situation that is getting out of hand and leading to nuclear war. Lets hope Putin is still sensible. In a sharp reversal, Donald Trump has decided to attack Syria. It would seem fighting Islamic State is not his top priority now. The consequences of this decision could be dire. If Trumps actions lead to a black flag flying over Damascas because Trump defeats the Syrian Army it is a desperately bad situation for the whole world as Islamist extremists will become more powerful all over the world not just in Syria.
