That’s a weird place to shoot missiles at. Doesn’t seem like it would hurt or help much.
au contraire.
resident Huggies was having a touch of constipation, and this primed the pump nicely.
Doc Jill is saddened.
Yes and no. And the "no" may be intentional.
It *might* just be a case of where they had the missiles concealed, their ranges, and ability (or inability) to transport them within range of a more significant target. Kind of a "Dang, we may lose these, let's shoot them, what can we hit?" Type thing.
Or, the far more cynical viewpoint, might be that these were intentionally fired at a US installation. We know slo-joe is moving ahead with bending over for Iran just like his backside-buddy bammy did. So this may be intended to give some cover for that move. "With this new accord we will stop attacks such as..." blah blah blah.
If the intent to to be provocative….they succeeded.
Think the Quds force is pissed about the breakdown in the nuke talks?
