Some perspective...

If we wanted to bomb Aleppo back to the stone age after the civil war it would set them back only about a week.

Depends on your perspective regards Turkey.
Mine is that the whole country could be flushed since the current radical Muz regime took over.
With “Allies” like that we need no other enemies.

Rode out the 6.9 that hit Seattle several years ago. We were on the 34th floor of our 36-floor building. Rocking and rolling around. I was under my cubbie table, holding my right hand up and keeping my computer from hitting the floor.

This was a bad one. It’s now showing as a 7.8 and the destruction seems to be widespread and devastating.
