THE DARK SIDE OF SCIENCE BREEDS A WEAPON OF WAR

Buglord
President Trump is busy explaining the intricacies of the Mar-a-Lago buffet's all-you-can eat crab legs to China's President Xi Jinping when an aide leans across a chafing dish to whisper in Trump's ear.

"President Xi is my honored guest and it would be rude to speak this way in front of him," Trump says.

The aide makes as if to move towards the taco station for some privacy, but when Trump fails to follow his cue, he understands that the President means that President Xi is to be included in the Syrian security briefing.

President Trump appears to be only half-listening to the military options being explained as he heaps crab legs upon the Chinese President's plate and his own.

"Uh, yeah, that sounds great. Whatever. Let's do that," Trump says abruptly, dismissing the nervous aide with his hand as he leans over towards his guest, conspiratorially. "Bing, bing, bong! See how easy this is, Xi?

It may be Trump's bad breath, his crass comment, or both, but Xi can only offer a pained grimace in response.

Later that evening, after the soft serve ice cream plates are cleared, Trump stands to offer the traditional toast offered to visiting heads of state.

Trump raises his can of soda, "Ladies and Gentlemen...honored guests...the missiles are flying!"

Xi, from the opposite side of the table, can once again offer only a pained grimace. This time Trump's breath cannot be blamed.

But seriously though is it that

A) cruise missiles are way weaker than I think
B) the air base is like a giant city
C) they blew the entire base into dirt and then blew up the dirt a few times over?
They make 30 foot circumference holes really well but that's just not a lot of surface area compared to a multiple square mile base

It's a combination of A) and B). Cruise missiles have relatively small warheads as a consequence of having to be light enough and have enough fuel to fly 100s of kms to their target. And airbases are spread out over a large area to be resistant to bombing.

If there is one thing I have faith in this administration about, it's that mcmaster has a big whiteboard with POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF STRIKE PLAN along the top and lots of numbers and little worrying doodles

he keeps trying to get trump to look at it but he's too busy laughing at kushner's sweet hand puppets

McMasters is desperately trying to construct a puppet show that illustrates the dangers of sudden strikes against a major puppet of a world power, meanwhile Mattis and some other fucktards are telling him Xi totally thinks his pecker is big now

Looks like the target was to put holes in the runway to prevent planes from taking off until the runway is repaired.

also disabling an airfield takes a lot of work. you cant just put a couple holes in it, you really have to make a mess

why the hell would you need fifty-nine tomahawks to take out one airfield? They blow up a ton of poo poo, that seems like a waste of money.



why didn't they target the hangars the planes that launched the chemtacks from? putin probably thinks 'no, more expensive to replace the planes, hit the airfield instead, concrete is cheap,' trump happily complies
