Sr. US military official told @NBCNews that high-level talks with Moscow have been underway to prevent an escalation. The official stressed a military strike in Syria would not be a "coordinated action," that Russia is "not happy about it," but that deconfliction lines open.

Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all! In any event, the United States, under my Administration, has done a great job of ridding the region of ISIS. Where is our “Thank you America?”

A 6 hour tornado mission costs roughly £210k. Loaded with 4 paveway bombs at £22k each and 2 brimstone missiles at £105k each for a total of £298k. That's £508k per mission. Or: 20 paramedics, 20 police officers, 20 teachers, 19 nurses, 18 firefighters or 18 junior doctors.

Every Javelin missile costs £60,000. It is fired by a soldier who earns less than that in a year. It is often fired at people who earn less than that in a lifetime.#Syria #DontBombSyria pic.twitter.com/jOkmjWfP2o
