Usual American shitshow, of course. We’ve seen it several times before. Let’s keep up here.

Not everyone seems to think it was a shitshow, I do find what appears to be an attempted media cover up disturbing though.

I do not have ducks. I do not have a row. I have squirrels and they are all at a rave.

Well, let’s see how successful this new “regime change” adventure is.

You can't win a war with air power only. At some point you need "feet on the ground" That ain't gonna happen.

It's very rare that regime change is effected through airborne action alone, you generally have to put boots on the ground.

BUT it's very rare that boots put on the ground leave when originally planned

AND boots on the ground for extended periods often lead to the locals detesting them especially when you start with (rightly or wrongly) a substantial % of the locals actually wanting the old regime. 

So yes every chance this will be a shitshow.  Should have used serious sanctions first.  Should have considered 'what's the chances we might end up massacring a primary school for girls?'

Well, whatever, nevermind
