Yup. No troops needed. Just two or three DLG's 600 miles off the coast
and a dozen or so Tomahawks.



To what end? If Assad wants to drop chem/bio agents on civilians,
helicopters, artillery or just throwing it out of the bed of a truck
wearing the proper PPE, works.
OTOH if we killed a couple of Russian maintenance techs, all hell
might break loose.



I underestimated. Looks like 60 Tomahawks from two DLG's were fired.

Yeah they are only a megabuck a pop, why cheap out?
I wonder what they hit.
