Liberal hot take: Trump attacked Syria so he can pretend he's not a Putin puppet!



Obviously, the left is "bitterly clinging" to their religion of Trump/Russia collusion. Despite the fact that virtually every major media outlet has admitted there is no evidence of coordination, Democrats are certain that Vladimir derailed Hillary Clinton. Trump, is clearly a Ruskie stooge. Putin put him in power, because - unlike tough-as-nails Hillary, he's a pushover and strategic ally.

Circular logic is fun!

Then he bombed one of Bashar al Assad's airbases. That's not enough to make them re-think their crackpot theory. No, if the left is to be believed, last night's attack only proves the point. Trump, you see, lobbed 50 missiles at Assad’s forces precisely because he's a Russian mole. Circular logic is fun! Take a look at the new hot take from The Atlantic Editor in Chief Jeffrey Goldberg and The Atlantic Staff Writer Julia Ioffe. Uh-huh. Surely, they'll say they're half-joking. Maybe they are. But this attitude is all over the left-wing web this morning. Trump is, they claim, still a Russian interloper who denied the coronation of our rightful queen. Only now, he's a Russian interloper who can claim he's bombed a Putin ally. This is exactly the kind of unprovable, self-reinforcing, conspiracy theory you'd expect from Alex Jones or Art Bell. It's also extraordinarily hypocritical, as I pointed out:

Trump is buddy-buddy with the Russians - because he bombed one of their allies

As you'll recall, the Obama administration had a long tradition of making decisions that aided Putin puppet governments and allies. Much like indulging in weed, or "maybe a little blow," you could probably call it a bad habit. They made and abandoned multiple 'red lines' in Syria, flew pallets of untraceable cash to Iran in the dead of night, and placed the Iranian regime on the path to a nuclear weapon. In fact, you can make a strong argument that their entire, disastrous, Middle East policy was built around a trainwreck nuclear "deal" that directly benefitted the Russia-allied Mullahs. So, if you're going to claim that, somehow, Trump is buddy-buddy with the Russians - because he bombed one of their allies - you'd better be willing to admit that Obama's Mid-East policy was almost a complete deference to Putin's wishes
