59 x $1.4 million a piece = $82,600,000 win for Raytheon. As I assume that the military will replenish those fired missiles. No big deal though, it’s just borrowed money anyways.
I don’t fully understand this strike.
On one hand, it was “red line” action that Obama was too scared to do. The intelligence (honest intelligence) does seem to support that this was Assad using barrel bombs from helicopters. However, the administration gave the Russians advanced warning and they even removed their naval assets according to some reports.
So we can be certain that Russia advised Assad, and he moved all his chemicals and assets out of the buildings that were bombed. Israeli intelligence confirms this.
So, basically we spent $100 million worth of missiles to blow up empty buildings.
Yeah, I understand the message of not crossing the red line, but I think Assad and Putin are having a good laugh that the Americans blew off a bunch of expensive fireworks for not much more than show.
“59 x $1.4 million a piece = $82,600,000 win for Raytheon.”
What waste.
If Prez Trump just gave me ONE of those, I could ebay it, pay off my house, send my kids to college, pay for my mom’s nursing home, then retire early.
