Russia warned the US where they could not bomb in Syria, and the US did not bomb in those locations.

Courtesy of Sky News:  

Russia has revealed it warned the US about "red lines" it should not cross before it launched airstrikes on Syria. 

Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov is reported to have said that officials in Washington were contacted before last weekend's strikes by the US, UK and France. 

Mr Lavrov said: "There were military leadership contacts, between generals, between our representatives and the coalition leadership. 

"They were informed about where our red lines are, including red lines on the ground, geographically. And the results show that they did not cross these red lines."

Keep in mind that Trump also warned Russia and Syria a few days before the actual airstrike, so that they could move the chemicals and anything of value out of the targeted areas.
But even with Trump obeying those orders from his Kremlin overlords, Russia still feels that after this strike they are now free to support Syria, and Bashir al-Assad, with impunity:

Mr Lavrov says that, following the airstrikes, it is morally free to deliver S-300 missiles to the Syrian regime. 

He said: "Now, we have no moral obligations. We had the moral obligations, we had promised not to do it some 10 years ago, I think, upon the request of our known partners. 

"We took into consideration their claim that this could destabilise the situation. Even though it's purely defensive. Now we don't have this moral obligation any longer."

So to be clear, the Kremlin told Trump where he could and could not drop his bombs, he did not drop his bombs in the forbidden areas, and yet the Russians still feel empowered by the airstrike to provide Assad with more military weaponry.

Does anybody else feel that America got played here?

    It could not be more obvious if the Russians put a dog collar and leash on Donnie Two Scoops. They own him. And consequently, us.

      Sometimes I wonder if she’s basically a hostage in a gilded cage at this point.

      I'm sure the Obamas were gracious to her - imagine they all were. What a difficult position Mrs. Trump was in....standing in for that horrible husband of hers who didn't have the balls to attend himself!

      Liked the very joyful service though and remembrances of Mrs. Bush! Representatives were also there from the Nixon and Johnson families/friends. The church sat 2000 and it was full! 70+ years of marriage! President Bush is going to have such a void in his life.

      10:59 AM - could be, but give me one good reason that I should feel sorry for her. She sucks as a third lady and she knows it. I'm sure that President Obama and Michelle were more than gracious to her.

      If you're ill at ease being anywhere, sit next to President Obama. He'll make it all right.

      Too bad Joe Lieberman slapped $arah away Alfalfa Club. She just wanted to touch him, so in love.

      I thought it was a particularly awkward moment when the third wife walked alone down the side aisle of the church after the service followed first by President and Mrs. Obama holding hands and then by President and Mrs. Clinton holding hands. The third wife's cowardly, vain, insubstantial creep of a husband should have been there with her.

      Barbara Bush's funeral was a touching, dignified, beautiful church service full of family and love - things that trump is incapable of understanding. He did send out a completely inappropriate tweet about the service, ending it by saying that he would be in the mythical "Southern White House" watching on television.

      Trump sent meanlania alone as a warning to her. She sat alone in front row looking at a casket, President Obama leaned over and ask how is the first year is going. She replied...oh shitski what a shithole. Trump like her had NO business at this funeral.

    Why not just light bottle rockets over Syria? They’re cheaper.

      Because politicians love their war games as do those who enlist. Difference being, “thoughts and prayers” when one is dead or maimed from politicians. Collateral damage, not my kids. Families, a hole in heart that will never be healed.

      They bombed an old and empty hospital. Claiming that the facility was for bomb making.
      The news interviews with a doctor, who confirms it was vacant, and was a medical research facility only. ;)

    Thoughts and 'prayers' from the butthead in the white house? He's no more a Christian than many I know - and, they do not pray!

    None of you appear to be aware of the reporting that found the reason for carrying out this attack on Syria was to back up the tweets on twitter the president made.

  15. America has been played since Trumplethinskin announced he was running. The media was played. The RNC was played. Those that voted for him were played.

      And Russia is about to find what happens when you mess with Americans and their elections. Commonsense is not part of their DNA.
