"On Sunday, Trump responded to the use by the Syrian regime of a chlorine-filled barrel bomb in the rebel enclave of Douma, a district of East Ghouta.

Since Trump had launched 59 Tomahawk missiles on the Shuayrat Air Base last year this time after regime use of poison gas at Khan Sheykhoun, it is not surprising that Trump is threatening Syria with paying a “big price” for the use of gas.

It is a little surprising that for the first time, Trump was openly critical of Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling him and Iran “responsible” for supporting “Animal Assad.”

Trump has in the past suggested that Syria needed a strongman like Assad, and recently announced that he would pull US troops out of Syria (press reports say he told insiders that the US would be out by October).

It appears that the Israeli air force took advantage of the Douma crisis to bomb a Syrian base between Homs and Palmyra. Typically such Israeli strikes seek to take out arsenals intended for transport to southern Lebanon for Hizbullah.

Trump also lambasted former President Barack Obama for declining, in 2013, to follow through on bombing Syria after having drawn a red line in a speech against use of chemical weapons."
