Just as the cruise missile attack on Syria was timed for his meeting with Xi before in keeping with his mafioso tactics.

Don't wait till he starts another multi trillion dollar war on a flimsy excuse.

One drone = 1 million dollars?

Not a dollar amount worthy of a war

But not unlikely to cause a "proportional" response. My guess would be taking out a couple dozen SAM sites in the region.

It's a damn drone, not like anybody died. I get that it was an expensive drone, but a $150M drone still isn't worth getting in a war which would cost trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives.

From this illegitimate president and the Kgbgop. Their chances will be destroyed when he does this. His lying about it will be even more damaging for them.

If the stories about Cyber Command and the NSA are true, he could activate cyber warfare (Nitro Zeus) that would target critical infrastructure. The death toll would be horrible.
