Is Trump escalating tensions in Syria to distract from problems at home?

The two main stories in US politics ATM seem to be Mueller and foreign policy aggression. A cynical reading of this would suggest that the tail is wagging the dog. This could have worrying consequences.

No. It's a legit foreign policy concern.

Worrying consequences? Yes.

Wagging the dog? No.

@beckyromero Its a legitimate concern about the humanitarian crisis but a bad move for the wrong reasons. Every intervention promises a solution but it just gets worse. This is about the power play between Moscow and Washington. The cost is Syrian life.

@beckyromero It looks first of all for me as if the USA wants to do their "job" as a world police - like years ago in Iraq. 😒
