You certainly are obsessed with homosexuality.
It's okay to be curious, but obsession just isn't healthy.

not considered a "war" but pretty significant during your boy Obama's term

The jihadis were able to obtain much of this arsenal as a result of former President Barack Obama's support for rebels in Syria, U.K.-based Conflict Armament Research reported after analyzing 40,000 items recovered by its investigators along ISIS front lines between July 2014 and November 2017. By purchasing "large numbers" of European arms and ammunition and then diverting them to nonstate actors in Syria without notifying the sellers, the U.S. reportedly "violated the terms of sale and export agreed between weapon exporters...and recipients."

I am, in response to:

Do try to keep up, curious boy.
By the way, HW Bush did start a war. Do you remember what he called it? "Just 'cause".

keep trying to divert so to save face for your heroes gay boy
I know the virus has clouded your thinking but our discussion began with Trump & your heroes Obama & Biden. Get your rest since you'll be on this board many more nights defending the f-ups your current hero in office will be creating down the road

Haven’t we been doing that off and on for the better part of a decade?

WTF are you even talking about? I'm not defending anyone, I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy.
Perhaps you're just getting defensive.

Per X (aka twitter), warehouses in eastern Syria suspected of storing weapons for Iranian backed militias. F16s carried out the attacks. I highly doubt that we would knowingly send in 4th generation aircraft into an area protected by S400s when we have 5th generation aircraft in the area. Of course, we may have intel saying that the Syrians and/or Russians aren't going to waste their expensive S400s protecting Iranian militia warehouses.

they're not the same things though.
you don't see the difference between proactive, decisiveness and half assed, lazy "retaliations" with no goal?

I am somewhat meeting you in the middle on this, as it, as our esteemed former President likes to say, depends on what the definition of "is" is.
"Start" is different than "escalate" or "exacerbate". Orange Man Cultist verbiage aside. No one except W in Iraq and, I guess, HW in Panama actually started their wars over the last 80 years.
But a few of them have made things dramatically worse and / or escalated combat and strategic attention far beyond what they had previously been. Obama in Libya is example A of that. Clinton in the Balkans. Reagan in Nicaragua and Grenada. Obviously Vietnam starting with Kennedy and progressing through LBJ and Nixon. Etc., etc.

Yes, I see the difference. You think your man is always justified, and the other man never is. It's very common.

Wait, what? Clinton didn't make it worse there, he finally brought the hammer down on the Serbs after the Srebrenica massacre, and got them to the table, ending the war that basically started with the breakup of Yugoslavia.
Somalia, OTOH...

Any word on the location, type of aircraft being used? Was this in an area covered by things like the S400?
The Russians have fire control over the Syrian S300 system. They’ve only permitted the Syrians to fire it once, and as a warning shot to the Israelis.
If we get in a scenario where the Russians fire at one of our aircraft, then god help us all.
I expect the Russians will be acutely aware of how dangerous this is, American air strikes, and they will do their best to avoid escalation. But this could quickly get out of anyone’s control. And Washington is behaving dangerously as it is.
