When we say asset it’s because we don’t know exactly what it was, could have been (probably) missile, maybe aircraft, probably not ground launcher, I don’t think you would use the word splash for that. They used to or still use it as a signal for example when a pilot has shot down a plane, e.g., splash two MiGs. So you could apply it to a missile too. It also pertains to action over water, obviously, it wouldn’t make sense over land.
Thanks! That begs the question- who would order this? Does Derp have military assets? Or terrorist assets (more likely, I would think.) (these probably seem like air head questions - just getting over a virus so I’m fuzzy headed)
If Q “has it all”, then they know that the hit was ordered and they know who ordered it. Can you imagine them getting the news that the hit didn’t work? Talk about paranoia ...
