Attacks in Douma

nheather

Yes I’m hearing US Tomahawks, B-1 bombers, British Tornadoes and French, probably Rafales.

Three targets reported so far, one in Damascas and two near Homs, all related to chemical weapon research, design, production and storage.

Syrians claiming they have shot down 13 missiles - I call Bertie BS - they are very difficult to shoot down, I doubt the US with all their resources could do that well.

Also read story this morning about an Iranian drone loaded with explosives launched from Syria and shot down in Israel.

Hopefully that's that for now. Russia's bluff called and they can go back into their hole.

What a shambles of a situation.

So it begins.

"
One of the waves, 30 missiles were inbound, 28 destroyed and only 2 reached their intended targets, then the #US secretary of Defense comes and say their attack was a success?!

A complete Anti Access/Areal Denial area was enforced by Syrian Air Defenses and SyAAF, and against who, the United States, UK and France; good luck facing Russia, if we were you we wouldn't threaten the Russians so much.

Just the team member of the page who are in SyAAD cost the US tax payers over 500 million in destroyed Tomahawk missiles; and for that, well, most expensive target practice ever, at least we weren't the ones paying tho.

Hey good move Donald J. Trump, how big are your hands now?! You embarrassed the US Military like no one else.

On a more serious note, a full comprehensive report will be up when possible."

I don't think Enki's post was entirely serious or literal

I’ll be sure to tweet something or pre record a message of empathy.

That is the impression I get too.

There was no reason for the UK to get involved with US military action unless there is some tit-for-tat scenario further down the line.

Bl4ckGryph0n

Exactly. That is the issue
