Russia announced the deployment of the S-330 VM, an advanced anti-aircraft missile that can also intercept cruise missiles . . .

hmmm, interesting stuff.

This is a 6 month old link, and they were warned of the strike ahead of time. They don't care about Syria as much as they pretend to, and it would probably look good for their relationship with Trump to let this one slide.

That's the point, they've supposedly had the defenses ready for a long time and they're choosing not to block the U.S.

Aren't all the Trumpanezes saying that this is proof that there wasn't collusion? Again, that's my point. Russia WANTED us to hit Syria.

Yeah, that's a good possibility imo. That narrative is quickly being jumped on.

Tomahawk missiles are hard to detect and shoot down. Russia may have failed to shoot them down if they tried and it would be seen as an aggressive act .

It's speculation but the reality seems to be that it would be a poor political move to attempt to shoot down US Missiles

^ Hey now that's completely unfair.

I'm not a military expert, so I really have no idea. Is it even possible to shoot down tomahawk missiles? This is kind of above my knowledge.

I suppose, yeah, one theory is that Russia wanted us to do this.

But...

I don't know. To me, the fact that Russia has come out and stated they will arm Syria more and have spoken against the attack... makes me think no.
