if you believe that Trump was elected with Russia intervention and buy into the theory that Trump is now controlled by Putin then how does Syria conflict play into this theory?

Russia condemns U.S. missile strike on Syria, suspends key air agreement
But is this just an initial move in a game of chess that will further make the Putin - Trump connection more obvious?

I think that Russia condemning US  Syria attacks and Trump administration makes the conspiracy theory lots less plausible - sorry conspiracy theorists

WhyTrump

It is realistic to believe that Trump/Putin specifically are trying to show public they are not colluding by staging this confrontation and condemnation comments

The Syria conflict maybe more than just staging for Trump and Putin to distance themselves. That maybe an effort to support Trump's justification for increased military spend and a deliberate attempt to create a regional conflict that drags in multiple countries into a war. I am still unclear how all of that benefits Putin, but we shouldn't rule that out.

There is something going on there, the questions is what.

There is no conspiracy.  Trump is doing the right thing by attacking Syria. He has no obligations to Putin.

It's not a movie - there is no consipracy theory.
