Will today's strike in Syria change the way NK/China thinks or acts in their respective AOs?

Good question, now that the "easy" parts's out of the way. What we and others do next will go a long way towards answering it.
Russia has pulled out of the Syrian air deconfliction agreement and called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. I've got no idea what the US next steps are.

That just means they get no advance warning to move their guys before the next attack.
Foolish.
Foolish.

The North Korean dough boy is so insulated from reality and is so surrounded with yes men that he has no clue as to reality. He lives in pure luxury with the national treasury as his bank account, the finest of everything. Meanwhile his countrymen starve. He probably is immune from common sense and from recognizing the warning signs all around him.

KIM Fattie the 3rd Will be hiding in his Fuhrerbunker for the foreseeable future so we won't be able to track his diabetic condition and the Syrian strike make him stress out more leading fattie to have more health issues.

What NK, China and a lot of other countries are likely looking at is how a single event can quickly cause the POTUS to abandon previous statements and act differently. Some may say that he acted decisively but another way to look at it is he acted emotionally, brashly and in a reactionary manner. If I were a foreign power I'd be calculating how easy it would be to goad him into one action or another, particularly players like China.

Why don't you give this President a chance. Many of you continue to crucify him, and wow, he has only been in office, less than 100 days. Have you always felt this way about our Presidents, or just this one? Just asking.

SPC Johnny Velazquez, PhD - To be fair, this time around I was pretty unhappy with both choices on the menu to POTUS.

That's what we need to do is install leaders in these countries that will rule with an iron fist like before. When we had Saddam Hussein, the Shah of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini, and Assad these men were ruthless but they stayed in line and the US could count on then to keep their countries in check. We lavished them with money and other trade allowances. When however they decided they didn't need to listen to any dictates from the US government and go rogue is when the trouble started in the Middle East. This is 100% redneck foreign diplomacy but it fits. We couldn't necessarily call them our allies but they stayed out of smaller clashes with the US and their neighbors to continue enjoying the opulence we supplied them with. Right or wrong it kept the middle east quiet for a time.

I don't know. That guy is pretty loony. But China may start putting pressure on him now.
