In fact the soldier said it about Fox News making stuff up. But with Trump and Fox News you never know who started and who is following ;)
The news: German newspaper Welt am Sonntag has a chat protocol from two US soldiers watching the alleged Sarin-retaliation strike on a Syrian airbase in April.
In the protocol you can feel how panicky the soldiers are about the - in their eyes - stupidity of the air strike.
None of this makes any sense. We KNOW that there was no chemical attack. The Syrians struck a weapons cache (a legitimate military target) and there was collateral damage. That's it. They did not conduct any sort of a chemical attack.
The same soldier also thinks:
There has been a hidden agenda all along. This is about trying to ultimately go after Iran. What the people around Trump do not understand is that the Russians are not a paper tiger and that they have more robust military capability than we do.
Talking about the Russians they were furious (no surprise here) and
Russians are being extremely reasonable. Despite what the news is reporting they are still trying to deconflict and coordinate the air campaign.
They're showing amazing restraint and been unbelievably calm. They seem mostly interested in de-escalating everything. They don't want to lose our support in the help with destroying Isis.

Not that is makes a difference. It was an act of war by the US against Syria, even if they would have used Sarin gas (which it was very likely not). But who polices the "police of the world"?
