Remember the good old days when the MOAB was enough

[ProudLib72]

to impress upon us the ponderous bulk of the prezidential war phallus? Who did we drop that on again? I had to look it up because I wasn't sure if it was Afghanistan or Syria. Remember the good old days of bombing airstrips in Syria? We really showed Assad who is boss, didn't we? Why, he couldn't fly airplanes out of that strip for at least a couple hours. Wasn't there some operation in Yemen as well? Oh yeah, there were two of those. Two scoops of Yemen, folks. Good times indeed. Next up, North Korea looks to be lots of fun if you're a warmongering idiot.

If the last 200 days were a film, it would be panned...hard. There is no plot. There is no character motivation. The action is just a montage of blowing stuff up and tweeting nonsense about it afterward. There is no context. Are we supposed to ask "Why?" Evidently not. But if we do ask, the answer has to be something like, "'Cause, bad people...over there...BOOM!". Just grunt your approval and enjoy the CGI effects. That's what the trumpsters are doing. That's what the GOP is doing.

This right here is who we are supposed to be, patriotic spectators to the greatest fireworks show mankind will ever witness

1. Excellent post. I'd forgotten about the MOAB - yeah that fixed everything huh?

They called Syria first too.

3. You forgot, too?

MOAB was Afghanistan. I thought they called Russia about bombing Syria. The details don't matter, though, as long as there is a lot of exploding.

4. I meant AND they called before bombing Syria

We'll sort of bombing Syria.

2. That was in a remote area, surrounded by hills...

consider what that bomb would do to a major metropolitan area, like say, Pyongyang.

We wouldn't need to go nuke to take down most of NK in a couple of weeks. Problem is, we couldn't take out all of his conventional forces before they did a ton of damage to Seoul and killed a lot of friendlies.

5. The only collateral damage tRump is concerned with

is pissing off Putin. Hence the phone call before the Syria strike. I'm willing to bet that no one in SK or Japan would get advance notice of intent to bomb NK because it might give away the plan if there were mass evacuations. That's how psychotic I believe tRump to be.
