Not all that heavy considering the number of missiles fired at it.Putin is letting his attack doggo do some borking, which is expected of Russia but given what they've said it's nothing along the lines of 'Death to the Imperialist pigs', just posturing.Assad, even if he were to declare war on the USA is in no position to do so when he already has his hands full dealing with billions of moderates. And given the measures taken to reduce loss of life, he doesn't seem all that platinum mad given that his country just got a freedom suppository.Whether or not the chemical weapons were dropped by the planes from that base seems to be beside the point unfortunately, and this might make it harder for OPCW to actually investigate it but who knows.What it has done is show [Chyna] that TEAM AMERICA is not going to be trifled with, especially over WMDs *cough* north korea *cough*I still think the CW attack is horseshit, and that it was more likely the rebels than Assad but it seems that it's a rather moot point given the grand scale of things. No Russians died, the world got a show of force and hopefully little kim is thinking twice about being a stupid cunt in the far east. Habbedings are postponed until another day.What happens in a sovereign country is only the business of that country unless it starts affecting countries outside.If you are the world police, then please don't overlook the Duerte's drug war, please deal with Yemen shit, please deal with African warlords, etc etcAs soon as you get involved like this, you are a part of the conflict now. Unless you think US can be this arbiter and flash a red card (fire missiles) when someone doesn't follow the rules.I completely agree, the yanks had no right to do what they just did. Sadly it doesn't change Team America's stance on shoving it's where it doesn't belong.The only saving grace of it all is that they weren't completely pants on head about it, thus avoiding pissing in putin's cornflakes.

How is there still not a war?You can't just launch rockets at a sovereign country as a slap on the wrist.
Putin isn't fighting on Netanyahu's behalf. Only Israel benefits from a destabilized Middle East.
Also, Alex Jones? Really?

Quote from: Mr. Psychologist on April 06, 2017, 12:55:09 PM-snip-You bring up some good points, but I jump to Assad not because the news said so, but because he's done it in the past.If you can show me examples of the things you've just claimed, I'd be more inclined to believe you. And no, that's not me saying you're wrong, but your post now has me curious and open to your claims.(I deleted my old reply because I thought I replied to you, but I suppose I didn't, so sorry for the late response)
