[RichGin]

The United States,Great Britain and France launched a missile attack on government facilities in Syria early in the morning of April 14, 2018. According to the British Royal Air Forces representative Air Vice Marshal Gavin Parker, the targets were the research center in Damascus, Mezzeh Military Airport of the Syrian Air Force located near Damascus and several warehouses in Homs where the chemical weapons were allegedly located.

Of course, mainstreammedia started talking immediately about panic among the Syrianmilitary and the infrastructure facilities destruction but thesestatements were far from the truth.

103 missiles are reported were launched in Syria and the Syrian air defense systems managed to shoot down 71 missiles. In particular,five missiles were fired at the Mezze airfield and all of them were destroyed in the air. Thus, the Buk air defense systems accomplished their task successfully.

According to the Syrian military airport photographs, the military equipment and the runways have not been destroyed.At the same time, the smoke is a consequence of launched Buk missiles.

Ingeneral, we can say with certainty that the attacks of the UnitedStates and its allies were ineffective, the targets were notaffected, the critical infrastructure facilities were not destroyed.And most importantly, the Syrian air defenses have fulfilled theirmission showing the countries of the West the Syrian land is underreliable protection.

Not many. He gets his opportunity like everyone else. That means he probably has about enough time to come up with something intelligent before Jim, Darin or NT sees his act.

It's disappointing.

Obviously a Russian and obviously a liar trying to spread lies. How is it "Ivan the Poster" has up-to-the-minute failures of US missiles and our ever-predictable, slime on America MSM doesn't? They'd be all over it, calling Trump a failure. the US a failure, hailing Putin, etc. There's some jerkoff out their calling himself a journalist braving missile fire just to gather mud.

If it failed in its objective, we would know. Chris Matthews would get a tingle.

That sums it up quite well, much in line with my instincts.

Missed this! Could it be Hillary dodging sniper fire again?

The fact that Russian trolls target a shithole like DP is pretty amazing and shows just how wide their reach is.

Or how desperate and stupid they are.

"Let's go change Pete's mind!"

"No, he already supports hating the US. Let's get a bunch of vets that would just as soon kill us as look at us to change their minds!"

"THERE'S an idea"

Time will tell, but the Pentagon is saying all of our missiles hit as intended, while a wildly different account is being offered by the Syrians and Russians.

If 100% of our missiles hit, then this is going to be very embarrassing to Putin.

9:30 a.m.

The Pentagon says none of the missiles filed by the U.S. and its allies was deflected by Syrian air defenses, rebutting claims by the Russian and Syrian governments.


Lt. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon, says: "None of our aircraft or missiles involved in this operation were successfully engaged by Syrian air defenses." He says there also is no indication that Russian air defense systems were employed early Saturday in Syria.


The Russian military had previously said Syria's Soviet-made air defense systems downed 71 out of 103 cruise missiles launched by the United States and its allies.


McKenzie says 105 weapons were launched against three targets in Syria.


Characterizing the strike as a success, McKenzie says, "As of right now we're not aware of any civilian casualties."
