Originally posted by myboynoah View PostI'm going to assume the Russians told them. But we only gave the Russians one hour notice.
The Russians also claim that only about half of the cruise missiles launched actually impacted the base. If true, that's a very high failure rate. Does that mean we used old tech or is there some other prosaic explanation?PLesa excuse the tpyos.

Originally posted by creekster View PostIf the Russians left the base all of a sudden, and if they told the Syrians, who would then have time to leave the base as well, then the attack becomes much more symbolic and less meaningful. If 9 SYrian planes were destroyed, as reported, they must have been the dregs of the SYrian air force.

Originally posted by creekster View PostMoreover, the attack itself was carefully measured to respond in kind and measure to the chemical attack. Despite some of the more heated rhetoric, this attack was not about regime change or nation building, nor does it constitute a major escalation of our involvement in Syria nor does it constitute us policing the world.

The problem is, after a few days reports will trickle in that the strike appears to be less and less effective than thought and President Trump will be forced to make a decision - wholly driven by domestic political perception - escalate or face the perception of failure.
We have opened a box here, and we will be unable to shut it. Trump should have consulted the 2013 version of himself and left Syria alone.You're actually pretty funny when you aren't being a complete a-hole....so basically like 5% of the time. --Art Vandelay

Someone just sent me this via PM. Not sure how they got it, but it looks legit - not that it hasn't been updated in a few years.
