Is this a good or a bad thing? Going by his Yemen raid, I would assume it'll be another fuck up? Though, I never see much news about Syria in the first place.

Let's just say we got ourselves into a war, which is why Obama pulled out and left Syria alone so we don't go to war again. It's more bad than good in my opinion. Now Russia will probably have a response because they want to have control over Syria and we just bombed the shit out of them lol

What makes the Yemen raid a failure?

We lost a SEAL, killed dozens of citizens, a very expensive aircraft, and attained information that was already publicly for over a decade, all while the opposition was supposedly tipped off. Even Obama was wary of going through with the raid, and adding to that, Trump couldn't bother to be in the situation room during the whole disaster.

What might that response be? We're allies with Russia, so how would this strike fare in terms of politics? I know Trump urged Obama to not attack Syria back in the day, so it's ironic that he'd go through with it instead.

Finally did something right. A well coordinated attack by Mattis who kept civilians safe and hit the target. Well done

In case you didn't hear, recently Russia had a spy ship in US waters off the east coast, and tested missiles in the Black Sea if I'm not mistaken, which broke a treaty we had with them back when we had the arms race in the Cold War. The Cold War is still going on

I did hear about that. It was by Florida, if I remember correctly, though I didn't hear anything more about it afterwards.
