The source you posted seems to support my point, that America was outmanoeuvred. Even if Trump did greenlight the operation, it seems that he was forced to. Trump saying that he did in fact greenlight it is the easiest way to save face.

He made an agreement on the phone, from all reports, because he was not smart enough to know what he was agreeing to. But it's an executive order none the less and the military has to follow it. All it takes is a phone call to Trump. That's why it's so critical that he is a Russian asset, or did we miss the withdrawal from the Open Skies treaty this week, too?
