Logistically I still don't understand how an airfield remains usable right after taking 59 missiles

Do our missiles just suck?


maybe this is why we need to increase the defense budget!

You do not need to move a hangar or electrical grid to launch a plane.

Because repairing an airplane tarmac is about as easily repaired as repairing a road. Just...pave it over and go. If they really wanted to make the place unusable there are missiles specifically designed to crater the underlying structure that actually holds the weight of the planes, and *then* you aren't fixing shit. We did not use those because ???

Except you know the structural damage shown with destroyed facilities. Just because they were warned and moved their planes out does not mean anything. If they had not warned them, you would have had a lot more casualties.

Cernovich actually doubling down on condemning the strike, still vehemently believes the chemical weapons story was false

well i'm glad you're peering into the rabbit hole regularly too now, jakyl.
and the reports right now from the US strike me as propaganda-tier stuff. the initial reports of damages is stated as impressive but... well, airfield is already back and running technically. probably the only damage there are the six jets, radar, storage depot, etc - assuming they're destroyed. the stuff that sounds great until you realize 59 missiles were used. which ties back to the idea that a lot of this is for show or a warning.


probably the biggest upside to this is the approval had internationally. i think this is the first anything trump's done that has Europe, Australia, Japan, Canada in full support. and it's freaky that Saudi Arabia and Turkey also agree. Israel is no surprise, they've already openly said ISIS > Assad just last month. this is probably the first time any of those countries thought "huh, Trump did a good job."

Regarding the warning to Syria: I guess I thought that was standard procedure, besides Donald maybe not giving ENOUGH time for a warning. My point of reference from memory is when Dubya first attacked Afghanistan; I thought he went on television like a day before the first attack and warned people to leave right away.

Am I wrong? I'm sure the context is all different too, just trying to make sense of this aspect.

What's your opinion on the legitimacy of the chemical weapons story. I'm spending so much time on alt-right Twitter that I'm actually starting to have doubts...

If he was attacking a civilian target I believe warnings would be standard; I don't think that would be true for military targets, but I'm not sure.

Of course, the complication here is that killing Russians would be very bad because of the escalation that would cause (but at the same time, warning Putin basically implies warning Assad).

I like to imagine all the Russians packing up and leaving without warning and the Syrian troops going "Huh. That's weird..."

haven't looked that into it really. it's a very optimal time to have that sort of thing happen, which is why i think conspiracy theorists latched onto it hard. thing is, the end point of this conspiracy would logically say that trump-russia is a real thing and many of its backers would deny that claim. i think the current story Assad is going with is that this was from one of the rebels, that he didn't have chemical weapons but they did? if so the conspiracy would say that it was planted. alternatively it'd say that this wasn't actually sarin gas.

...but the next chemical attack (there will be one, Assad's gonna bite back) will help clarify it all.

Honestly forget all the other news today - I want everything to think about how much money was cut from extremely beneficial social programs and compare it to the 75 million dollars pissed away today

I'm pretty sure those completely ineffectual missiles would have paid for most of those budget cuts combined

It's incredibly awful and the more I think about it the worse it gets

Probably NOT from the cuts, actually. Defense already had a budget, and they probably accounted for actually using weapons in that budget. The increased budget is to make MORE new stuff, I think.
