Over the weekend the US, UK, and France launched a missile attack on Syria, after alleged use by the Syrians of chemical weapons.

It's no coincidence that the perpetrators--Trump, May, Macron--are facing growing internal opposition to their policies. So launching such a microwar could serve as a distraction.
