Video shows little which is expected since it’s a Russian video.
59 missiles blew that airbase up big time.
This video is propadanda.
You people!
This was a signal. Plain and simple. The next time you won’t be so lucky so think twice.
This move - target, timing, Etc was the advice and counsel of the best military minds in the world. I trust them. This WAS a setback and more that more than that, this was a very strong message. On behalf of the ppl who died and still suffer...Humble thanks to our President and Commander-in-Chief.
God Bless America.
It is a hard call.
This was nothing more than Trump showing he is not “cozy” with Putin as the Dems claim. My concern is more with Raytheon and the lack of damage from the Tomahawk barriage at $1 million per.
Apparently nearly the exact same plan was presented by the military to Obama, but he refused to sign off on it. And thus we got years of penalty-free usage of chemical weapons.
If you refuse to send a message, you’re sending just the opposite message.
Obama said Assad didn’t have chemicals. Could it be that he took the chemicals we gave to the rebels?
There is a lot of FOD laying around. Those fighter although not destroyed probably received damage from the FOD.
The hardened hangers are impressive. As is the strength of the runways and aprons.
Russia MoD has confirmed six MiG-23s destroyed, as well as a number of base facilities (other sources are saying 9 aircraft total). Not cheap. Many sources saying 6 dead, but Assad is saying 9 dead now.
“The armchair generals here don’t have all the facts.”
This disinformationists, spin doctors, fake news creators and outright liars of the MSM are typically all the facts the armchair generals and anti-Trumpers need to stir anti-Trump sentiment.
So yes, they do have the facts. /s/
I’ve gotten used to wading through opinion posts based on fake news or pure Trump hatred. As with you, I think Trump had good info to base actions on.
Tomahawk warhead is only 1000 pounds.
More pictures here, Funny how the UK Daily News always has more News and Pictures. Maybe they should publish and have a subscription office in the United States.

On NPR this morning they kept calling it an "alleged chemical attack" and said that "we still don't know if it was chemical weapons, although the symptoms seem to match."
Leaving the impression to their snowflake listeners that Trump acted before all the evidence was in. It's just laughable they consider this journalism.
Are the hardened hangers where the wmd are stored? They avoided their storage area
Check out and see who reported that Syria had removed all WMD. None other than Susan Rice. That’s four!
I hope we did more damage than the tomahawks cost.
Spoken like the true Putinista that you are. Loyalty to the KGB thug above all else.
I would have expected more damage from 60 missles in a relatively confined space. Maybe half the warheads were disarmed?
ROTFL...I hope so too.
You’re on the side of Salafist rebels making little Christian girls sex slaves rather than Assad and his secular government fighting against them?? Monster.
