Syria in 2017 (January-April)

[OUTLAW 09]

Not exactly sure just what/who a single 11 ton bomb is suppose to impress.....

From 2003, worth noting MOAB has been seen as a PSYOPS tool.

Twitter needs to Stop being weird about the 11-ton MOAB. For some perspective, here is a B-52 starting to drop 81 1,000 pound bombs.

Now a three B52 flight "arch light strike" gets everyone's attention.......and that for miles.......even the North Vietnamese Army had a high respect of an "arch light strike".....as did the Iraqi Army in Kuwait....

Was caught once inside the danger close range of an arch light drop and the ground had three foot high waves rippling for minutes much like a major earthquake...now that get's your attention....

WOW...a whole 36 killed.....and that works out to be exactly 611.11 pounds of explosive per killed IS fighter.....NOW if we look at the cost factor THEN Trump used roughly 104M USDs per killed IS fighter....

Sounds like a great "win" for Trump's show.....

I am counting 36 as the report says AT least...well it could have been far fewer actually....

US military's largest non-nuclear bomb killed at least 36 militants of the Islamic State group, Afghan officials say

Not so sure that figure is even correct unless one did immediate BDA on the ground afterwards.....

US President Donald Trump had earlier called the mission "very, very successful."

AFG Sources "We don't know anything about the casualties so far, but since it is a Daesh (IS) stronghold we think a lot of Daesh fighters may have been killed."

Syrian social media comment....

Can't disable a runway, but can blow up a mountain.

BUT WAIT...comment from the amazing leader......

The reason you don't generally hit runways is that they are easy and inexpensive to quickly fix (fill in and top)!

Leave it up to the Brits to sum up US FP...

Headline of the Day: "#Trump's foreign policy: On a whim and a prayer", in @TheEconomist

Where these people all there again when he dropped MOAB???

Syria strike that killed 18 US-allied Arab fighters was third US-led airstrike in a month that may have killed civilians or allies.

AND surprise surprise CENTCOM publicly stated they would investigate all of them...but not a single solitary attempt to do so...

There is a growing sense that the US led air strikes have actually killed far more Syrian civilians and friendly troops than all of the Russian/Assad air strikes during the same period....in the last three months.....
