Putin the breaks on new sanctions

Ambassador Nikki Haley announces new sanctions against Russia due to Putin's support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons against his own people.

Russia denounces the move as "economic raiding."

And Trump backs down. Or does he? Maybe he's just confused. Supposedly he is unhappy with the fact that the announcement was made because he isn't "comfortable" with it yet.

Missiles, he's comfortable with. Economic sanctions, no. And if members of his administration- apparently including our very fine ambassador to the U.N.- announce a policy before he's committed to it, it seems hard to escape the point that he apparently isn't running his administration very well.

So what's doing on? Have the grown-ups in the administration gotten out of hand? One can only hope.
