A week ago 59 Cruise Missiles were used in response to a chemical attack in Syria. That chemical attack is being attributed to Bashar al Assad and the missiles were directed at an airbase controlled by Syria, from which they (everybody except Syria and Russia) say the chemical attack was launched.
There appears to be questions about who actually used the chemical weapons. I sure hope this isn't one of those tactics used to misdirect. A few days seems awfully quick to respond. I would have thought some deeper investigation necessary before launching missiles.
There's obviously a huge difference between bombs and missiles. And since we've never seen a video of the 25,000 bombs dropped by the previous administration and there was an immediate video of the missiles being launched from our ships in the Mediterranean I'd say that's a huge policy shift.
The weapons manufacturers probably like to show their stock holders where their revenue is generated.....and our President, who actually lives in Florida, in case you haven't been paying attention, is a bit of a braggart so basically it's showtime. And it's going to get louder and louder until someone steps in and says.........ENOUGH! I'm pretty sure that someone has to be the American people.
Then two days ago our government dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb ever used on a remote mountainous region in Afghanistan. That bomb is called the MOAB....with the nickname being Mother of all bombs.
The next day there was an actual video showing the MOAB cloud as it detonated.
It appears that we are entering a new phase of live action coverage....which resembles an old phase that I recall from the Vietnam time period. Those nightly video's of the war in South-East Asia were fundamental in helping to establish a vocal opposition to not only that war but war in general.
Perhaps the Nobel Peace prize President from Chicago understood that principle and therefore didn't allow media coverage of all the bombs being dropped on ISIS held territory. You know there are video's of every single one of the 25,000 bombs dropped by the US led coalition....but have you ever seen even one? Ten years from now they will be shown on the History Channel.
Oh and by the way......apparently Russia has the Father of all bombs called The FOAB, which they say is considerably larger that The MOAB.
I'm thinking that there's a good chance we might see a video of that big daddy some time in the very near future.
Tit for tat and so on and so forth.
Our President did say, during the election process, that he would bomb the *%#! out of ISIS and I always thought it was odd to ignore the fact that Obama was already bombing the *%#! out of them. I guess our new leader simply meant that he would be using bigger bombs.
And so I simply ask......what's the next size weapon to be used?
And then we have this other new development......
Press release;
WASHINGTON
— The commander of American forces in the Pacific has ordered an
aircraft carrier and several other warships toward the Korean Peninsula
in a show of force by the Trump administration just days after North Korea tested another intermediate-range missile.
The officer, Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr.,
the head of the military’s Pacific Command, diverted the aircraft
carrier Carl Vinson and its wing of fighter jets from a planned series
of exercises and port calls in Australia, the command said in a
statement. The Vinson and three guided-missile destroyers and cruisers
steamed out of Singapore on Saturday for their new mission in the
Western Pacific.
(April 19th update) Apparently this "armada" wasn't doing what the White House originally reported......and then yesterday the article in LA TIMES said it was moving toward the Sea of Japan so your guess is as good as any. time for personal research. Let's call Bill O'Reilly.....he's got some time on his hands.
The problem with North Korea vs ISIS is that the leader of North Korea actually has an army with uniforms and tanks, a Navy with ships, an Air Force with planes and last by not least.....an undisclosed amount of Nuclear weapons.....oh and did I forget to mention that that leader is bat-s**t crazy. Add that mix to a population of 26 million people that appear to be undernourished and all dress the same and you have a recipe for a major horror story. My guess is that if you live in North Korea and you aren't in the military....you will be soon.
It seems we've relied on China to keep NORTH KOREA in check but from all indications China has no idea how to put limitations on the ETERNAL PRESIDENT, Kim Sung 111, or Jr or whatever he likes to be called. Even a scarier thought is that China doesn't want to limit Jr's behavior. Maybe they like the war machine that North Korea has become....and the reason they like it is because they know whose side they will be on when the ultimate s**t hits the fan.
I'm not predicting that the ultimate s**t will hit the fan but allowing a certain type of personality to be in charge of the most powerful military that the planet has ever known and then letting that person convince the general population that the military needs to be stronger and bigger just doesn't seem like a scenario with a reasonable or peaceful ending.
I think back to those wonderful cold war times when only two countries had Nuclear capabilities.....
Where's Elvis when you need him?
Oh yeah I forgot......he was also a military guy.
Those of us who aren't military minded just seem to be totally outnumbered.
I sure hope those of you are are military minded have a clue on how all this is suppose work out without f**king up the entire planet....or more specifically, the entire human race.
I think it's really important to elect calm, rational and highly intelligent people to positions of power and authority.....but that's just me.
Are you getting nervous yet?
