A $50 million fireworks display?

A $50 million fireworks display?
From the VoteMaster:


Quote:Meanwhile, it's unclear that this weekend's attack actually accomplished much of anything. 100 missiles were fired, and while the U.S., Britain, and France claim they all reached their targets, the Syrians say they managed to down 71 of them. Whatever the truth may be, there is general agreement that no major military installations were hit. So, the attack appears to have been little more than an expensive fireworks show ($50 million in ordnance was used). And now, the ball is back in Assad's court. (Z)

Syria: The Aftermath

Question is, "Did Friday night's attack harm the Syrian military?"

Both sides are populated by inveterate liars.  You can't believe much of what Assad says and you can't believe anything that the WLB says.

Simple answer "no". Complex answer "no, and it didn't help Cadet Bonespurs' poll numbers neither".

I read that a number of his "America First" followers were pissed-off; probably did not help that an American boxer who wore an "America First" pair of shorts was pummeled by a Mexican:

Are we at war with Syria now? If they fired 50 missles at us, what would we do?

Russia fired not a shot, lost no equipment and no personnel. Assad's regime was not threatened in the least and there is no evidence (so far) that any actual chlorine or sarin munitions were destroyed.

Trump and Putin agreed to the terms and conditions before the attack (that's why it took so long to launch it) and it was carried out with both of their sign offs.


And there's your proof of collusion.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Remember when Trump was urging Obama to fix US first and let other countries take care of Syria?

I think the correct math is $150 million, so:

Trump launched 110 tomahawk missiles at Syria.

Each costs $1.40M to make. That's $154M total.

Estimated cost to replace Flint's water pipes? $55M.

But this missile attack was all so that Trump feels like his dick is big and that Christians get illusion how their god is the greatest of all gods.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

What do you think Macron's motivations were?  Same as Trumps?  Same with Trudeau supporting strikes?

Do you view the rest of the world leaders as being Trump's lap dogs in regards to this strike?

Maybe they just let Trump do his thing thinking it may look like they tried something.

And what do you think Trump's motive is for not fixing the pipes? Not enough fireworks?
