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 ???

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." --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. ...

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. --- GameFlux: Unofficial GameFAQs board browser ... Copied to Clipboard!

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). --- Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! ...

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.
