Syria may be about to pop

[Captain O]

Never believe any thing comming from a Non Offical U.S. source when it comes to military operations, and even then, only what they want to share! Fact, the U.S. military has been actively engaged in electronic "Disruptions" sence the early 60s, and they have also developed the tools and techiques to enter and defete the best air defences of any nation on the planet! This raid was fully covered electronically to block any interference from the target areas! So, there will be very little if any chance to defeat any American hardware from launch to target! Remember, the United States developed Wild Weasel and the navy deveoped Iron hand to allow U.S. and allied assets full coverage defensive suppression and at the same time, offensive suppression of any enemies ability to track and target any hardware employed! Basically, they didn't shoot down ch!t, and are spreadding propaganda, wanting to convince their own people that they at least got some payback, when the truth is they didn't do squat but hunker down and die where they cowered!

The Navy has some of the best Electronic Countermeasures on earth. I worked behind them 40+ years ago and ought to know. I'd be willing to bet my life that there aren't any flies on today's countermeasures.

It took some stones to dive straight at a SAM site.
Those guys did a helluva job.

This action was about much more than hitting Syria for their use of chemical weapons. It was to call Russia's bluff that they would shoot down any strike at Syria and show them as well as Iran and North Korea that there is a new Sheriff in town in the US that is not afraid of a fight and willing to kick A$$ when needed. Russia, Iran, North Korea and others ran amok under the previous administration and got away with it. Times are a changin.

Refreshing, isn't it?!

You have that straight. There's a new sheriff in town, and the bad guys don't like it. (I'll punch their little "T.S." card).

You old Navy men know what that is.

The other wake up call was directed directly at Vlad, eff with the bull, expect to horns! Putin has serious intentions for a strategic move on Mid East oil, and he needs a ally to allow him access to, and constructin of a pipeline! It't why he is so hell bent for leather to take the Ukraine, he needs the resources of the Ukraine and the oil terminals and processing in Odessa and Sebastopol, plus the massve shipyards, and that oil pipeline will run due north out of Azerbaijan and right into the heart of the uppity Ukrainians! Stratically, Vlad is stuck between a rock and a hard place, and he just got a slap across the face, his military is no where near strong enough to put up much of a fight, and now he has the proof dripping off his bloody nose! Sorry Vlad, not today, and here are some more sanctions! Make NO MISTAKE, Russia has serious designs on the Oil, and they need to secure it before China can take out India and Pakistan to get at it! If he isn't careful, I'm betting Thrumps next move is to put a stop to all the Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish icebreaker construction, currently being funded by the promise of strategic materials and oil from Russian exploration of the Artic territories and the Siberian districts around Lake Baikal, which has also got China on the books for a share!

This seems to be a very inciteful assessment!
I don't know enough about it to agree or disagree, but on face-value, your points seem incredibly valid.
I enjoyed reading it, as I enjoy the concept that "there is a new sheriff in town".

We can raise "a velvet glove with an iron fist". We've done it before and we can do it again. President Trump isn't playing games and there may hell to pay... and rather soon.

 

[Ura-Ki]

Trump dosnt play political games, Vlad just learned this! Trump is a business man, and he understands the Russian motivations better then most politicals ever could or would. To Trump, the situation is plainly evident, and that seems to be a good thing! As long as we don't underestimate Russian Parinoia and turn their it to an advantage with out pushing to far, Vlad will have to skulk away with his tail firmly set between his legs!

Conflagration...

At this point, Vlad may not know whether to "s#it or wind his wristwatch". I have a word of advice for the old Slav. "Watch your six, @$$#ole".

Indeed. I think some are confusing meeting 71 virgins in the afterlife with "71 missiles shot down".
but that's just me

Easiely confused in that part of the whirld, what with missiles being launched all over the place every other week!
I wonder if those missils were properly bacon treated before launch?

The majority of missiles targeting Syrian civil and military facilities were also intercepted. According to the Russian General Staff, Syrian air defenses managed to knock out 71 out of the 103 projectiles.

Yet, none of the missiles fired by the US, UK, and France reached the areas of responsibility of the Russian missile defense systems deployed to Syria, Moscow said. The Pentagon later confirmed that it has no information on any launches by the Russian side.

Was Baghdad Bob the one who was reporting this? That guy is not known for being a reliable source for info.
