CBT Time posted:Great news for the pro-chemical weapon crowd: Anti bombing Syria protests this weekend featuring none other than Ricky Spencer! Have a great time with insane conspiracy theorists and white supremacists convinced this is all the work of our Jewish puppet masters! Is this how anti-war folks are going to smeared from now on? We're pro-chemical weapon now? You can't associate us with Trump anymore so you have to find a new label. We've gotten pretty used to being called conspiracy theorists. Being called a white supremacist is still pretty funny especially for us non-whites.

I think it's in bad taste that they kept using the word "nuclear option" when they were talking about the Supreme Court Justice.

I'm not a big fan of the US being the world police, but I'm also not a fan of chemical weapons, fake silicon asses and tits, or reality TV. But at the same time Obomba did tell him back in 2013-14 to get rid of his chemical weapons and there would be repercussions if he didn't.

Wait, do liberals actually think bombing an airstrip is meant to deny its use for perpetuity or something? A one-off strike is about sending a message slightly more forceful than a diplomatic cable.

Nut to Butt posted:Wait, do liberals actually think bombing an airstrip is meant to deny its use for perpetuity or something? I think it's supposed to hit the runway. Maybe make it unusable for a few minutes at least? Look it's stupid to harp on them not hitting anyhow because the military doing their jobs is not the political issue at hand. It's bad enough they routinely get brought into something political while they try to do their, albeit loving grim, jobs.

It is in the vital security interest of the United States to moderately impair this runway, as a response to the use of chemical weapons.

Poetic Justice posted:Those are the wrong type of missiles to bomb runways though, which is weird. It's not all that weird that we didn't use a nuclear warhead, which is what you need to put a runway out of action good and proper. Runways are notoriously hard to appreciably damage, and actually pretty easy to repair. If you want to attack an airfield without nuking it, the runway should be at the bottom end of your target list. The Brits had to design a big, cumbersome specialized munition called JP233 to deal with runways and it only worked with the Tornado. Durandal is about all there is in the way of dedicated runway-attack munitions any more. You can use JDAMs, but really even Syrians can fill in holes in concrete well enough for fighters to take off within a few hours.

Saddam was still able to fly aircraft out to Iran well into the air portion of the war in 1991, despite a massive coalition air force trying to shut down his military airfields. Basically, people have no business even talking about the actual effectiveness of the attack itself. What common sense tells you about this topic is basically completely wrong.

Because no one would ever think to try to knock out some of the few dozen actual aircraft Assad has remaining or anything.

It looks like we're trying a "have your cake and eat it too" military strategy. Spend lots of money on missiles that don't kill anyone or escalate any conflicts. We could just keep doing this forever! Geo politics meta game has been solved.
