Publicity stunt? That's CUTE. Mattis: Syria strikes destroyed 20% of operational Syrian aircraft

Ahem.

Anyone who’s accused Trump of a ‘publicity stunt’ with the strikes in Syria can sit down and shut up now, thanks.

Looking at you, Paul Krugman.

UPDATE: U.S. cruise missile strike in Syria destroyed 20 percent of operational Syrian aircraft – Defense Secretary Mattis

Whether you’re a Trump supporter or not, the piece of his admin people keep leaving out is Defense Secretary ‘MAD DOG’ Mattis. If you think he gives one single damn about publicity you don’t know the general very well.

His statement:

Mattis says the U.S. strike on al-Shayrat took out a fifth of #Assad's "operational aircraft".

In one night indeed. One in every five aircraft is toast.

But go ahead, keep underestimating this mean ol’ dog:
