"Very embarrassing for Russia whose anti-missile Growler system failed to intercept any of the US Tomahawks even although they had prior warning and knew what their target was."

Given the fact Trump's team and the Russians talk and have done for some time it must be possible the Growlers were turned off; Russian bluster since the attack has a hollow ring to it, they just need to be seen to be making some noise.

It would be funny that Boris cancelled his trip to Moscow and then failed to convince the G7 to do anything about Russia if it didn't mean we had such a prat as Foreign Secretary and the Brexiteers had rendered us irrelevant internationally with their nationalistic ranting for the last couple of years. So much for taking back control: when Tillerson whistled, BoJo came running and did his bidding like a good little servant. Well done Brexitwats!
