U.S. attacks Syria

Post Reply New Topic

That is a very thoughtfull comment.

Predator drones are for shooting individual humans (they supplement human snipers,and human special ops like Chris Kyle, or Navy Seals).Not for destroying "things" (big buildings, factories, or ships, or airbases). So using a drone would be taking a knife to an artillery dual.

Smart bombs (like old fashioned dumb bombs) have to be dropped from manned airplanes. Cruise missles are essentially robot kamikazee planes (both the bomber and the bomb) that can be launched from a distance (a destroyer can become, in effect an aircraft carrier, by launching cruise missiles out at sea).

So in my humble opinion if you wanna take out buildings, and not assassinate individual people, and dont want to risk the lives of human pilots cruise missles are what to use.

Dones can carry hellfire missles and smart bombs can be dropped far away or high altitude.

Assad is winning
He didnt do it
Rebels did it

Im sorry, but your post doesnt seem to make any sense.

I think what the're saying is that it doesn't make any sense for Assad to do this. What purpose would there be in ordering the use of chemical weapons?

Russia and others have argued that there were chemical weapons kept by the rebels in the factory the Syrian Air Force bombed, which Assad did not know about. If that's the case, then Assad and the Syrian government are not the ones responsible.

These missiles struck the airbase that supposedly these chemicals were flown out of; they bombed the runways, planes, hangars, whatever infrastructure but they warned the Russians ahead of time(who would of warned the Sryians) so the casualties are minuscule if any. At this point I don't know what comes next, it was a punitive strike and meant to send a message. Is it the start of something bigger or was it just a flexing of muscle? Nixon's 'madman theory' seems to be in full effect with Trump, it would be a real reversal to suddenly start supporting the neocon position on Syria.

Trump and Putin need to meet ASAP, we need peace with Russia to have peace in the middle east

And then people wonder why ISIS hates America ...

The media expects us to believe that in 2013, UN inspectors went into Syria to inspect a chemical weapons attack that was thought to be carried out by the 'rebels', and on that day, Assad thought it'd be a good idea to bomb his own people with chemical weapons after Obama had said that they were the red line. Then this week. Trump had reversed Obama's policy of supporting terrorists to fight Assad and this week had said that Assad could stay if the Syrian people wish for it and there was a peace conference going on, Assad was winning the war and it was expected to be won by October, so the media expects us to believe that this week he chose to bomb children with chemical weapons.

This is Israel's war and they have bombed Syria on numerous occasions, flying right over ISIS and Al Nusra to bomb the Syrian army. The base that the US bombed was the main base used to fight ISIS, and now ISIS have launched an offensive thanks to the US.

So much for all the garbage about Trump being a Russian puppet, he's a war machine puppet and they finally got him to do what they wanted. If the US really cares about children, they must have amnesia given that they had sanctions put on Iraq that killed 500,000 children and only last week they bombed Iraq again, killing 200 civilians, including women and children. Where was your beloved media then? The fake outrage by these war mongers and shills is sickening!

If you're thinking this is just because of Trump, then think again if you're capable of doing so. Because Clinton would have done the same, just probably sooner in the year and Obama has bombed Syria, though claiming it to be an accident. The war machine rules, not shape shifting Russians, the NWO or illuminati or whatever the hell. The BBC, CNN, FOX. All of them are mouthpieces of the war industry and it's time people saw that. Only the people can stop these wars. Please call your local politicians and pester them not to get involved in Syria, cause this could go to another vote.

A completely disingenuous article from a shill for the war machine, making it look like she is only "reluctantly" wanting to go to war:

This is where she gets disingenuous.



This completely misrepresents the situation, making it seem like like questioning the official narrative is lunatic. In reality, there is a serious question over whether this was the Syrian government's job, or if there is another explanation, like there being chemical weapons stored at the rebel-controlled factory that was bombed.

Total shill.

Why use bombs from airplanes - airplanes are a hundred year old technology.
What counts as slow? And how difficult is it to intercept a 500mph, 800kph, cruise missile flying at treetop height on its final approach to target?

Oh, and these are Not your grandfather's cruise missiles ...

Decided to play in Google looking for another reference on TERCOM, found this;

Where I live we sometimes have AFRES A-10 following the Missouri River to apparently make practice runs on the highway and railroad bridges. They typically come in at and often below treetop height and riverside building height.

I have yet to successfully get a photo of one because they are here and gone before my camera can start.
Now, imagine something less than half the size of an A-10 doing similar at twice NASCAR speeds - there's almost nothing you can do about it.
That's why ya use cruise missiles.

it is.
if the growth of undesirable weeds is left unchecked, then one is soon festooned with choking vines.

the cruise missiles are quite a targeted utility.

their blast radius is quite limited, as most of the energy is projected forward in order to penetrate defensive materials covering important strategic targets.

if trump just signed out and said "that's it world....you can do what you like without fear of the USA", then such mayhem would result that it would provide fertile fields from within a much more powerful opposing force can be grown.

a strategic move may be to state that the USA has relinquished interest in the rest of the worlds affairs, in order to encourage the worms to come out of the woodwork as it were.

then strike their holes.

i still have some faith in trump although he has transcended what i would dare to do.

to act on his own and order that retaliation without the backing of congress (which is a bag of pillows designed to break ones fall) is an act of either insanity or genius.

even the most delusional psychotics would likely, in their sliver of reference to reality, realize that a nuclear strike is the same as suicide, so i very much believe that only a person who is totally divorced from reality would make a decision such as that. and i believe, that like king "whoever it was" that went insane for a while (was it henry the 1st?)
, he would be removed from a decision making capacity post haste.

trump used the emotional trigger of seeing innocent children ....blah blah ...blah....(it's always innocent children isn't it ?) to justify his targeting of the syrian strong points.


and the reports that putin is not happy would probably be crafted to deflect the notions that there is an american-russian conspiracy. putin denounced the gassing as barbarous. but to look like they are in almost collusion with the USA would cause so much political strife.

quietly i think putin is approving and want's to wash his hands of the drain in that area.

i mean what's in it for russia but a border strategy to be so interested in supporting it?

syria is lust a lame millstone.

i think both putin and trump quietly realize that.

Hmm ...

well that sets the record straight.
