Ok, so, each country shows its big dick missiles.
Let's recap:
- Trump lops 70 odd cruise missiles into Syria .... Lot's of damage, but eh ... hardly casualties. But, ff to today: AL Assad is gone.
- MOAB on 3 Iranian locations => lot's of damage but empty.
- Iran: shoots on a basis in Qatar: but empty.
I'm not saying this is not serious, but would it be ok to pose the question: what is being signaled here?
While harsh WORDS are being exchanged, what is really being done? Meanwhile, everybody goes out of their way to keep the balance. We learn about exchanging messages and warnings, emptying out certain locations.
It seems quite scripted.
Yeah, a live-fire shooting match, And each party shows off their goodies, to save face. But is someone expending ammo that is hard to come by? How do you disarm without telling them to disarm? Let them shoot their irreplaceable?
If expended, can it be used of more ...eh ... nefarious objectives?
Just some thoughts .... missed by a lot of people depending on the MSN and the vogue of the day.
No, I am saying, the goodies are gone. SO, what exactly are they firing on.
This process was first seen in Syria. Hence, my mentioning it. Not that is has no significance, or that such a feat is not historical, or daring, like the B2 incursion into Iranian airspace.
What I am pointing to is the limitation.
Also, Qatar has a certain role in the whole scheme of things. Besides, we are talking guided systems. This is not just lopping a grenade over the wall hoping to destroy something, anything.
Some matter is destroyed. The question is: what is really being destroyed? What effect does it have when goodies are expended when that kind of ammo is hard to replace. It seems to me some sort of attrition by other means.
I see what you saying. Very interesting. Thanks for the clarification.
