No casualties. Whatever we were targeting got hit, and Russia gets to play their condemnation act.
Can we call it good and step back?
Perfectly executed and Mission Accomplished.
This is a really nice way of disposing of older Cruise Missiles that should be used anyway.
Lobbing Cruise missiles into yet another Arab dictatorial regime accomplishes absolutely nothing.
When you inform your enemies (Russia) that you intend to bomb empty buildings sometime this week, you give the bast**ds time to shuffle things around and ensure that the damage from them will be minimal.
That is not how Arab or Russian regimes function.
Yet, we are proud of our Western tradition and reducing collateral damage.
Rogue regimes and Evil one like Putin’s laugh it off and always have.
It’s like the line in “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” where Eli Walach says: “If you’re going to shoot, shoot, don’t talk”.
In Russian and Arab terms this means only one thing - if you’re going to drop bombs kill anything and everything within the impact envelope. THAT works and that is what they have been doing for years. Actually, the Russians did this very effectively in WWII. The US did too but that was before...Vietnam.
So, Russia, Iran, Hizbollah and Assad’s troops brush this one off saying, “those silly Americans, don’t they know how to kill”?.
These dangerous regimes will continue along their merry way and eventually will dominate the region.
The only country that does effective damage to them is Israel and she is way to small to handle these dark forces alone.
Some say, it’s not our fight, get out, ignore it.
For those who wish to ignore Russia and Iran, it is just a matter of time before America’s VITAL interests are jeopardized...
I have to say the Russkies really lost the plot claiming Featherweight Theresa May had launched a false flag chemical warfare attack in Syria. I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous in my life.
