I’ll start this out relatively empty but update it quickly. Trump has approved strikes on Syria. White House briefing starts in one minute. 21:02 EST: He’s already ordered the launch. Combined operation with France and UK. Attack underway. 21:03 EST: Sounds of explosions in Damascus. Reminder: Just half an hour...
