I have a feeling any amphib type ship in the Med or by the Suez Canal in The Indian Ocean is on the way.

Trump said it was a terrorist attack.

And Trump has 17 intelligence agencies he could ask. Instead he went with his "gut" and said it was an attack.

That was the clearest example of a blast wave detonation I have ever seen recorded on media.

By the time the ships get there, it will be weeks. If Trump wants to send help, we have the full MAC airlift to bring assistance in and evacuate victims out within 24 hours.

I realize this is a foreign country, but shouldn't SOMEBODY have moved that shit out? It had been just sitting there for YEARS!

 

[Mindful]

Well, would you believe it.

They can’t blame Israel. Or Trump.

Oh; the wailings, and gnashings of teeth.

The 2,700 tons of fertilizer believed to have caused the explosion that devastated Beirut had been confiscated from a Russian businessman — who “abandoned” his cargo ship after an unscheduled stop, according to reports.

Officials revealed Tuesday that the blast that killed at least 100 — and left up to 300,000 homeless — appeared to have been sparked by ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse since it was confiscated in 2014.

Perhaps it is time for Beirut, Lebanon to be rebuilt.

Generals are no different from posters here in their haste to speculate on what could have caused that explosion

Of course they are different. And no, they did not tell trump it was probably an attack.
