Good point about Syria being informed. Implies any gear/people there were of no/low value to them and left as a sacrifice. Give it a week and we'll find out the 3/9/16 planes weren't even operational.

All reports I can find say just that: they were being repaired.

Junkenstein

Oh wow. So 60 missiles to scuff up a runway and damage some non working assets.

This does sound quite like the administration we know and loathe: incompetent and inept.

Book formally open for the date troops get sent in. Half an empty ashtray on June.

So I tried a silly thing and looked at the daily heil for pro-war porn.

To save you bothering with the worthless heap of toss:

QuoteObservers said al-Sharyat Air Base was 'almost completely destroyed' by the 1,000lb warheads in a 30-minute barrage of destruction that is said to have destroyed 20 planes, a dozen aircraft hangars and a fuel depot, as well as ripped up runways.







This is not "Total destruction" by any measure. There's a few more pictures and a bit of film and it does look like the place is still largely intact and easily able to resume operations within a week or so if anyone was inclined to make that happen. What does seem to have happened is a decent size fire. The damage you can see looks a lot more like someone's had a good burn up or fire has been able to spread a reasonable distance. The planes shown under the bunkers, note bunkers still intact, look more like a good arson job than a missile strike. And 5 planes just sitting in the open are totally untouched. Which is odd again, because, you know, sitting duck, easy target, no bunker, no missile damage apparently anywhere near. Some of the bunkers are apparently "partially or fully collapsed", yet there doesn't seem to be a single picture of this. There's a video clip showing one with a hole in the roof but it's far from destroyed. 





It's starting to feel like an insurance job, it's certaintly got a few parallels to one at least. Because I'd bet money I don't have that anything that got burnt up wasn't working anyway and those sat out in the open probably flew the fuck away earlier. If the deaths/injuries are limited to techs and support staff with no pilots or such, it starts looking very suspicious indeed.


You can now thank me for suffering the gibbering rantings of the mail so YOU don't have to.

It occurs to me that this attack is conveniently timed, just as the investigation into Trump's connections with Putin is gathering steam.

Assad (presumably) makes a senseless chemical attack on a no-name town miles from the fighting, and we spank Assad, thus proving that Putin and Trump are not sweethearts.

Oh FFS.

See this is what happens when the news revolves around one particular cretin. It reminds me of the Diana fallout in the UK to a degree. The attention is driven almost exclusively to one event/person that the government is able to push any agenda it pleases without scrutiny. I can remember precisely no other news around that period but I know there will have been all sorts of shit pulled if I bother to look. It's literally easier than its ever been to find out too.

Which leads to the larger problems of recognizing and trying to stop silly shit now while remembering all the stupid decisions that will need to be unpicked 30+ years from now, if there is even political will/ability to do that then. Name a police/military force that has radically scaled back tactics and toys in the last 50 years. An omnipresent possibility of a terror attack now being less likely is a story you're just not reading in your lifetime. Even if that is the case.

Putin is now claiming he has intelligence that the US intends to fake chemical weapons attacks in Syria to allow them to intervene

It seems that Trump, Putin, Assad, and half of the Republicans are bent on starting WW3. The only thing that keeps them from doing it is that they can't agree on how to go about it.

So he's been reading Zerohedge? :lulz:

Funny story, the guy who runs Zerohedge?  His dad was a diplomat and journalist for the People's Republic of Bulgaria.  He wrote for the Communist Party's own propaganda outlet...as a roving international commentator covering political and military conflicts.
