Call me CT if you will, but I think this whole thing was stage managed and previously agreed upon by RF and USA to silence the critics of Trump in the US and put an end to the Russia collusion theory.
Possible. However, this is a loss of face for Russia in a way.
IMHO the Russians can accept many things, but not a loss of face. They'd rather risk lives of 300 children (rightfully so) when terrorists take 1000 of them hostage, than rather lose face.

consequences of striking the US Navy, using cruise missiles "Tomahawk" on the air base "Shayrat" in the province of Homs

message arrives, that after the return of aircraft videoconferencing RF and SAR Air Force Air Base "Shayrat" in Homs province - since it re-launched combat sorties and fighter-bombers of ATS Air Force.

Recall that last night the US Navy struck the given object, using 59 cruise missiles "Tomahawk", 23 of which have reached the goal, the rest according to some "fell."

Very disappointed by the Indian reaction or rather, the lack of it.
We should station a few assets near Syria to help out our friends Iran and Russia who will obviously become involved once this conflict widens.

It is kinda weird that only less than 50% of the tomahawks hit.
And in the above pics the runways seem pretty much intact.

:hmm:
the Su-22M have started operations on that runways too......

When did Iran become our friend.
During the India Pakistan war, Iran sided with Pakistan. Providing them free oil and unlimited amts of hard cash.

Whenever there is war between Muslim country and infidels, all the muzzies unite. Eg Indonesia supporting Pakistan and sending ships to capture Andaman and Nicobar islands.

So best is to stay out of it and watch the Muslim world burn with some popcorn.

Region primed for war now as Russians report their assets being destroyed in the air strikes.

One more evolving theory is that this has been done to push up the prices of petroleum as they have been suffering a low for some time now.

The two faced American Imperialism is revealed... facilitating the same Islamists they declared the so called War on Terror on..
The gains made against ISIS by Syrian Loyalists and Russians were suddenly reversed following the strikes.

Iran is India's friend,
3 main India-Iran deals which exists for even today...
1. Chabbar port, main route to India-Iran-Afghan export import route,
2.India-Iran-Russia export route...

If it was only about Muzzies and Non-muzzies, I'd say the same. But am afraid it is hardly that simple anymore. This is a resumption of the Euarsian disruption project started by neo-cons/Zionists using ISIS and other forms of Izzlamic terrorism. This threatens to reach our shores in a few years. So it is better to not be complacent.

Right on. One wonders though, are Tomahawks so inaccurate? I do think that Syrian AD shot down some Tomahawks. They do have S-300s.

Haha, those Bhakts come and go by thousands, and NaMo bhakts are useless for the nation in general. Better to be a deshbhakt, hindutvabadi and sanghi than a NaMo bhakt.

This looks like a Mil-28N to me.

Yes. In the satellite images, we can only see around 24 on target hits, while the Kalibr missiles were far more accurate. Not sure what's going on. On the other hand, the US ships will have to replenish their missile supplies. That's a lot of money to the defense contractors.

Or, this is a ploy to convince the Trump opponents in the US that he is no Russian puppet.

When Iraq war started, Vajpayee was the PM. I remember BJP took out protest march against US invasion. This time, it is all muted. I would expect some appreciation of Assad's fight against ISIS and other jihadi groups considering BJP's IT cell is busy spreading news (some of them fake, like that video taken from Mexico and blamed on Kerala Muslims) to rile people up in the country. On the other hand, I don't think it is wise of India to get involved. PRC is in a position to support Russia, so Russia is more likely to rely on PRC while India provides little diplomatic value to Russia.

Wipe this Shia Genocider Asad once and for all before he got angry and start barrel bombing his own people. Although he has much better option now - Chemical weapons.

And whatever happen to the Pantsir S1 and S 300 ?

Trump wants to get rid of the blame that Russia helped them to win elections. The accusation of him being close to Russia was prevailing in the United States. There were intelligence reports in the media that , indeed Russia was involved.

So most probably, there is a probability that Trump did that to get rid of unrest in US. It was on rise. Too much Republican Vs Democrats and many other protests happened.

So ultimately, Russians are aware that the Trump regime did it intentionally. And only after few days it will deescalate. Russians will just observe the actions and will now on just take preventive measures as SOP.

23 out of 59 is 39% success rate.

Is it true or just propaganda?

Also, is it possible the Russians used their S-300 or S-400 to intercept a few, or is it that the US knew about the deficiencies of the Tomahawk and therefore fired a massive number?

You know it boss .

US Navy says 58 hits target, and one malfunctioned

Russia says 23 only hits the targets ...

beleive whatever you want

Ok, why not look at the satellite pictures? They have been posted in this thread before your post.
