Day of the White Glare, 61st of Hagwinter, 525 M.E. (Helios): The Stable Genius, his FIFA faux peace prize securely on his mantle, launched airstrikes against dozens of suspected Islamic State sites in Syria today. Last week, two US Army soldiers and a civilian interpreter were killed in an attack on a U.S. convoy. The attacker was shot dead, but the Stable Genius vowed to retaliate. Today's strikes have been described as a large-scale attack on targets across central Syria.

He can't start a war with military troops stationed in U.S. cites or with a build-up of naval forces in the Caribbean, so the Stable Genius is turning to that old reliable hot-spot, the Middle East, to get his war going. 

Anything to distract us from the release today of the Epstein files.
