The Syrians had foreknowledge of the attack and removed all their equipment and personnel from the base before the attack.

LOL we just blew $90 million dollars to crater an abandoned base.

I wonder if Trump will flip out about the white house leaks again.

I'm still pretty torn on this, Assad is a monster who shouldn't be alive, or have any power, but last time something like this happened, poo poo only got worse. Plus there's a loving orange retard in charge of it this time. I hope Canada stays the gently caress away, not going to Iraq was a Good Thing, but we already have JTF2 and advisers in Syria I think so who knows

After listening to the Arms Control Wonk ...The episode about possible DPRK warplans was pretty terrifying in terms of how KJU appears to have learned from Saddam and Ghaddafi's fate and has no compunctions with taking as much of East Asia with him when he goes.

Do you know the title or date of the episode? The descriptions on the podcast site aren't helping- quite a few NK shows.

Cheeto Benito just tasted military action and now I'm afraid he'll get addicted to it.

It's one thing to lob a few cruise missiles at some poo poo hole nation's Mig 21 airfield, C&C facility, or weapons depot. We used to do this every 6 months or so in the 90s it felt like.

The difference is I have no confidence that Trump is a rational actor (he isn't lol) and he'll soon start swarming Syrian air space with fighter jets. I don't think the Russians are going to engage us in any air-to-air combat, but I would not be surprised at all if this gave them a wonderful opportunity to test out some more fancy toys, like the SA 300/400 AA series. I mean it's been what, 20+ years since we last bombed a country that had an AA defense network worth a drat? I think we're in for a shock if Cheeto escalates this.

The blank stares I get from people who start talking about Syria when I tell them that the US has had SF dudes either inside Syria or advising rebel forces for at least a decade are amazing.

We've been unofficially opposed to the Syrian government for a long time, if it weren't for that one Russian naval base this while thing would have been taken care of years ago.

North Korean Missile Operations on Mar 15 has a bunch of good discussion. Most of the recent podcasts on DPRK pull the same thread of 'it's not insane if the US really *is* out to get you'.

The podcast on BMD 101 is also good on how our missile shields still aren't all that hot if KJU is throwing canned sunshine at you.
