Attacks in Douma

Skull n Bones

Remember to ask who always benefits from all these wars/interventions in the ME Marv.

There is a distinction there, both morally and legally...I'll leave you to it, to figure it out yourself as it maybe a good learning exercise.

I know - I think I said that Scuds were difficult enough to shoot down, but that cruise missiles were even harder.

Basically, a cruise missle is relatively small so only has a small RADAR cross section.  They fly hugging the earth so are hidden by the curavture of the earth so are hidden until 10 miles or less.  And even then they are flying low and fast amongst loads the ground clutter noise that the RADAR picks up.

Personnel on the ground might see one fly past but won’t have time to react.  Usually the first the target knows about it is when it hits and explodes.

Cheers,

At least have the courage to finish the sentence...

It's inexplicable.

You've quickly changed your Trump cheerleading tone Marv. Has he gone too mainstream for you now and Putin is more your cup of tea?

Skull n Bones

LOL No, please do try to explain as I'd love to hear your side of it for once

Bl4ckGryph0n

LOL I already get the distinction and didn't make the statement/comparison that you did wookee13. Best keep digging your own hole...

Skull n Bones

Seriously,  I'm only asking you to back up your morally and legally distinction...

And yet you do, killing is killing to me, doesn't matter what side you are on or who sold what to whom...

You may want to watch the news dude. What part of the use of chemical weapons don’t you understand? That has been internationally agreed a very long time ago. Nothing new here. Vetoed six times by Russia to intervene. Enough is enough isn’t it? These are war crimes and crimes against humanity. The legal basis is humanitarian intervention on a live scale with an immediate intervention where there is no alternative (see vetos).

There has been plenty of diplomatic effort prior to this event.

And no I don’t. I’ve done my part and stint in the army. Technically I still have three year left in me. Airborne Infantry. What have you done wookee?
