So did Trump notify the Russians about the strikes?

I'm sure Russia didn't tell the Syrians!

Is it true that the targets were already evacuated?

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!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!

Normally the warning is done behind the scenes in a professional manner as to avoid any misunderstandings etc...but this FUCKING MORON gizzes all over twitter.

Russia probably cleared the operation after moving Russian and Syrian assets off the target.

Please, Mr Trump, feel free to send missiles, break some rocks.
