he has been telling. the other breaking news, dateline calm and calculated, where the president of the united states just announced a missile strike and he did it on twitter. this is the breaking news and official statement from president trump. russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at syria. get ready, russia, because they will be coming. nice and new and smart. pay attention to those words. they're important. you shouldn't be partners with a gas killing animal who kills his people and enjoys it. leave aside for the moment that this seems to break the president's long-standing claim that he would never telegraph military action, the president also noted that the u.s. relationship with russia is worse than it has ever been and he did that all within a few minutes of bragging about stability within the white house. this is a major escalation and rhetoric with international security consequences. abbey at the white house.
