Syria launches fresh airstrikes from the base USA bombed

Russians said only 29 missiles reach target and most missed the airfield.

US said all missiles hit target and caused a lot of damage.

Syria uses said airfield right after missile strike.

Who's right...
 
"Everyone knows you cant fight on an empty stomach," replied the President, reached for comment while dining at a local McDonald's restaurant
 
Bombing an empty airfield and then bragging about it as planes launched from that airfield continue to bomb people sounds like something North Korea would do
if they had the ability to actually hit anything with their missiles

Well I guess Assad learned that we don't want him to use chemical weapons. Because he had no clue we'd care before! But now he knows, for the first time ever. Trump, the great educator.

What a precision strike...50+ missiles...most of them missing target...nice job...oh and thanks for letting them know that US will be sending missiles beforehand, so they could take all measures to avoid strikes

If US really wanted to take down the base, I am sure they could have done it 100%

It makes you wonder if it wasn't in fact Russia who orchestrated it all and authorized puppet orange turd to call for the airstrikes that did nothing.

All the sarcasm aside, if chemical weapons don't get used again... ?

Might be a good chance he'll do it again, but that's what this message was about, not demobilising the whole country and preventing Syria ever flying/bombing ever again.

A $94 million message that us tax payers have to pay for. I would have rather they actually, you know, hit some stuff to prevent him from carrying out any strikes from that base.

Otherwise, one missile into a blank area in the desert could have sufficed, and saved us a lot more money.
 
Seems a clearer messages is needed. How do you fuck up so badly that you basically may as well have done nothing at all? I was okay with this yesterday when I thought it did something but it seems as if it was a waste of money.

maybe this is a stupid question, but if the idea was to prevent them from carrying out airstrikes, why not target the runway as well?

Tomahawk's can't damage a runway effectively. Need to drop larger bombs from an aircraft in order to damage runways.
 
He became "President" when he launched those missiles. He'll guarantee a second term when he launches the next volley of missiles.
/s
 
That figures. Syria is like a crack house. It's foolish at this point to think we can go in there and wreck the place.

Well if your main concern is not enough damage done

Mr Trump's National Security Adviser, H R McMaster, said measures had also been put in place to avoid hitting what were believed to be stores of Sarin at Shayrat, so that it "would not be ignited and cause a hazard to civilians or anyone else".

Again it's not about outright stopping any airstrikes again, not at this stage, it's about never seeing Assad use chemical weapons again. Or at least that's what the threat is an attempt towards.

I don't get this argument ... 'well at least the babies and kids are not getting killed by chemical weapons...but with less horrible weapons...that's a clear WIN!!!!'
Yes I understand using chemical weapons is worse and horrible but Assad's atrocities and murdering rampage has been going on for so long, 1000s of innocent kids/women/men have died before this chemical attack...less horribly but still, those people are dead, murdered. In my mind a murder of an innocent is a murder, and US as it pretends to be the world's police force, should have taken measures against this a-hole long time back and crippled his army. We bombed the shit out of Iraq for no good reason, at least here there was a good reason to do so.

Has there been reports of the damage done yet from the 59 TLAM strikes at this base? If not and this place is still functioning, that makes us look bad lol.

It's dumbfounding the fact that each missile used in the strike costs around 1 million a piece, that equates to 59 million dollars tax payers are going to cover to replace the stock, fucking insanity, for a strike that accomplished as much as Trump has in his 2 months in office.
 
The intention of this is becoming more clear.

Trump just used this opportunity to flex.

The media were gushing about him all day. Media is beating the war drum. They LOVE wartime Presidents because it means ratings for them.
 
So was this deliberate or is the Us military really not as competent as they seem. Of you are trying to hit an airbase and expend that fire power to do it and this is the result then I don't know what to say. Must be deliberate.
