Reports are that we just launched approx 60 cruise missiles from two ships in the Mediterranean. The targets were two Syrian airbases.

Just saw this as well... My phone started beeping from all the news alerts

Glad we chose a worthwhile battle. Ok sarcasm off. Crap

 

[mrhutch]

I wonder how long until Russia hits American targets, or we cause an issue by accidentally hitting Russian assets in the area.

Unfortunately, Trump is about to go big in Syria. He and Mattis are planning it right now.

Tonight's 59 launched missiles cost taxpayers $93,810,000 or $1,580,000 per missile.

When turd-world dictators actually USE nukes, chemical, or biological weapons, and IF it's not 100% obviously righteous and necessary that they did that,

the USA and the rest of the world should pound them.
I'm glad Trump did this.


Remember, Obama and Clinton ordered missile strikes, too.
Even "doves" know that some provocations call for a hawkish response.

Trump!

He has selected the right people to take this on. They are not sitting around a camp fire singing.

 

[Rugerer]

I am totally confused. I thought the proper international response was a #stopthegassing hashtag campaign.

That was Obama's response. Trump prefers #buhbye.

Russia Today reports that

"The strike on the Shayrat airfield in Syria's Homs Province destroyed a material storage depot, a training facility, a canteen, six MiG-23 aircraft in repair hangars and a radar station.

The runway, taxiways and the Syrian aircraft on the parking apron remained undamaged, Russia's Defense Ministry spokesman said in a statement."

MIG-23's sell for approx. $5 mil USD

"On April 7, 2017, between 3:42am and 3:56am Moscow time, two US Navy destroyers (USS Porter and USS Ross) fired 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Shayrat airfield in Homs Province, Syria, from an area near the Island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea.

"According to our sources, only 23 of them reached the Syrian airbase," Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov said, adding that the points of impact of the other 36 cruise missiles remain unknown.

Wait... so my freedom is in Syria now?

I need to keep a closer watch on it. It keeps running away to places that either have oil we can steal or brown people who dare to pray to a different invisible friend than the rest of us!

Have you written your senator about your support for a massive military action on the African continent?

America is a sovereign nation. So is every other country. Not our circus, not our monkeys.

The middle East will always be violent, there will always be atrocities, there will always be Muslim theocracy that takes over, and the majority of the people will always prefer it that way. Leave them to their own choices and stop wasting American lives and resources accomplishing nothing.
