105 cruise missiles is hardly a major event
My Fetid Mind | April 14th, 2018 | Mariner

For all those who are steamed up over the strike in Syria, just remember HHS loses that much money in accounting errors every month.

$100 million for 105 cruise missiles.

As for their actual impact, 105 cruise missiles are no more a deterrent for Assad, nor provocation for Russia, than the 59 cruise missiles last year.

It's apparent Russia turned off their S400 systems and let the US have a fireworks display.

Nobody believes it changes anything in Syria. Or the calculus employed in Iran or Norklandia.

LOL! Russian trolls are so smart.

Great AA systems, BTW. It was fun. Seeya.

Russia states they did not fire any weapons.

The Pentagon states Russia did not fire any weapons.

What else is left?...smartass.

We know Britain had non-stealth aircraft in range of the S400.

Oh, the older Syrian systems did fire, after the barrage was over and didn’t hit anything.

I’m always intrigued by Kabuki theatre.

Perhaps it is time to start making them. Ready to start a new company?

“Approximately 105,000 lbs net explosive weight....that is not just a pin prick. Several thousand lbs of explosive used at each of only 3 targets is no small thing.”........

No question about the amount and what it COULD DO. Did it really happen as stated is the question. No matter what happened, it was a good show of force and what further atrocities might bring down on those who cause such disasters.

“Russian blinked and pulled their military out of the way, Iran was mute.”............

So odumbo is still calling ahead and advising that “the U.S. is coming to bomb you so get out of the area”? I thought that creep was no longer in charge. If not, then WHO CALLED AHEAD? “Keep you friends close and your enemies closer!”

Obviously not. Everything the government says is a lie.
