Well, it came at a risk, it came at a gamble, but finally, the Russian Conspiracy Theory, that has been rammed down the throats of everyone around the globe since Donald Trump was elected as the 45th President of the United States has finally been laid to rest.
With a resounding boom as the missiles landed in Syria, the hopes and dreams of the MSM proving that President Trump is simply a Russian puppet were shattered in one swift tactical strike. These strikes came at a great risk, as they hit key Syrian assets, assets that President Putin and his Russian forces vowed to protect.
Acting together with its joint allies, Britain and France, the United States struck out against Syria for what the Western Intelligence community claims were biological attacks against the Syrian civilian population, orchestrated by its own government.
Whether or not these claims are true, is highly debated and highly suspect, but regardless of the truth, the chips have fallen and we are now in this precarious position, as the West once again plunges itself ham fisted back into the cold war era.
Russian leaders have vowed that they will take action and vowed that their will be consequences for these acts against an ally they have sworn to protect, yet to this date, nothing has appeared to of occurred.
Russia may or may not act, but it is rather unlikely at least in the short term, as the full combined might of the West is still a force that no one nation can contend with, as it is utterly overwhelming. Russia knows this and they are not stupid, but this is not to say that things cannot, nor will not change in the future.
Still, this has come at a cost, as Russia has once again been forced into further isolation, as its Western peers condemn their actions and threaten them with even more trade sanctions. Pushed to the point of desperation, who knows what actions they will take in the coming years.
Meanwhile, the chatter of Russian collusion, via the corrupt and dying MSM has virtually died, as even those suffering from an extreme case of brainwashing are finding it hard to comprehend how a puppet can so easily slap its master across the face and get away with it, without consequences.
If President Trump was truly a puppet of Vladimir Putin, or at least once was, then the evidence of this would have been promptly released by parties in the know, destroying Trump in the process. The reason why it hasn't, is simply because it doesn't exist.
Hilariously, it is the MSM who cry out about fake news and conspiracy theories aplenty. While at the same time, they are the main pushers of half truths, fake news and their own concocted conspiracy theories.
It is sad to see how far the "guardians of the truth" have fallen and how decadent the MSM has become. They are so greedy and corrupt, that they have pushed us towards this path, a path that places the West on the precipice of war with a global, nuclear power.
The final nail in the Russian collusion coffin has been put in place, but at what cost and at what price? Only time will tell.
