The strike has ~0 military impact. Russians were informed & Syrians could clear area.

Apparently they spared the runway (2 fighter jets took off today).
"Drole de guerre" (phony war).
Ronaldo playing MSM & libs like a violin.

Edit: One of the images from the south front article clearly shows an unexploded tomahawk warhead, one missile that is, that never reached its target.

that USA cruise missile explosives package that did not work is exactly the reason I developed the story & post of ISIS supporter Syrian Army dudes doing the covert chemical attack...
I reason that Syrian Army Jihad-Friendly troops conducted the attack that had all the hallmarks of Assad ---or else ---
it was a covert CIA operation after all... for some reason it just does not logically fit that Assad &/or Russian support did the chemical attack....
the only reasonable perps were the CIA black-ops or the Jihadists doing their misdeeds which framed the Syrian government
It's not uncommon that cruise missiles have problems , when i was in the navy we went to the US coast to shoot the yearly harpoon , at the end the target was still afloat and the Harpoon was on the bottom of the sea with it's booster still attached to it (painful moment for the crew of the dutch frigates and a testimony on the reliability of the Made in US )
If it is true that only 23 of the Cruise missiles reached their target , then the counter measures of the Russians in the form of electronic jamming or / and S400 has been successful !
I guess 59 cruise missiles at once can be called a saturation attack , and with less than 40 % reaching their target we can say it's more or less a draw ( both sides have to consider some fine-tuning )
But still Russia has now acquired some life fire experience which is invaluable for the jamming and missile crews!
Now the next question why is the US so eager to crash the Syrian regime , by seeking the confrontation with Russia !?
I guess that plan B is not working according to plan , Russia and China are dumping the petrodollar as they need less and less oil and gas from the middle east !
Russia is holding most of the cards in this bluff poker game
Cant count that out, in fact may be the most important fact to the whole thing.

I hope the OP is right, I'm worried you might be right instead. Guess the response over the next few weeks will help weight the scales in favor of one or the other
Right... if so then expect some CIA whistleblower to come into the open.....cause we all know they covered for Obama but not for Trump

When did Putin, Assad and Trump formulate this plan without anyone else knowing?
