Or we will fire low yield warheads that could maybe destroy a cement truck in your general direction. Like 60 of them and then call it a day.

Number updated to 60 and they flew low over Russian radar and antiaircraft sites. So they were seen and reported instantly obviously. There's this... 50 cruise missiles targeting air bases won't permenently knock them offline but they are going to suffer significant damage unless they all got jammed and missed completely/were duds. | ||

I'm kind of high right now after a hard day so I'm dumb. Is the Russian airbase in the link the same one we hit? Or am I misunderstanding? | ||

I doubt Trump made a deal with Putin. The Russians must be pissed. So was Trump really suddenly swayed by pictures of dead children? There is this concept that Trump's opinion is the opinion of the last person he talked to. This seems likely in this case. I buy that reasoning a lot more than Trump being worried he is made to look like an actual Siberian Candidate, and needs to give a counter-example. This sudden move and unpredictability is sure to have shaken up and scared some national leaders. The US superpower war machine being controlled by an unpredictable person is not a nice thing when you are a country that may one day find itself in the crosshair. | ||
