To sum up how it looks like for me, with the caveat that none of us has nearly the full info. Just hunches.

Trump’s action was, on balance, a good thing. Because:

- He was pro-Assad, now not only he turns anti-Assad, but the bombing cements this for the future.

- He got problems with Putin’s Russia now, where the honeymoon was already over, but now it’s over over. In just two months. Maybe he will be less likely to cave to Putin now on other things. (And I think this also decides the “pee pee tape”/”puppet” issue. There was a natural symbiosis for a while, but it’s unlikely Putin has anything on Trump.)

- He basically failed in his attack too, and there’s some good in that.

- He pissed off his hardcore bigot base and went against his election isolationist promise.

(And yes, everything is subject to change, but that’s how things stand now.)
