Looks like Trump just tossed a few cruise missiles at his overlord's ally.



Yup.

Russia also had advance notice this was going to happen.
Russia further has the capability to defend against cruise missiles in Syria and decided not to activate the system.

So now Jared Kushner is becoming Trump's most trusted advisor. Therefore it's a given that we find that he's lied about his Russian connections:
================================================
Kushner Omitted Meeting With Russians on Security Clearance Forms

By JO BECKER and MATTHEW ROSENBERG
APRIL 6, 2017

When Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, sought the top-secret security clearance that would give him access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded secrets, he was required to disclose all encounters with foreign government officials over the last seven years.

But Mr. Kushner did not mention dozens of contacts with foreign leaders or officials in recent months. They include a December meeting with the Russian ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak, and one with the head of a Russian state-owned bank, Vnesheconombank, arranged at Mr. Kislyak’s behest.
===================================================

I'm sure he just plain forgot that he met with the Russian ambassador. After all, it's not like Russia has been a problem for the administration.

Well:
"Jared Kushner's family's company to make $400M in new sweetheart deal with Chinese firm"
http://www.vox.com/world/2017/3/15/14921720/kushner-conflict-interest-anbang

That fell apart. Then he met with the Russian bankers to refinance a big existing obligation. Times are tough when you shop the four corners of the globe to roll over problem loans.

But then you can just call "daddy" and wait for the next foreign entourage to visit Mar-a-Lago. Talk $400 million dollar loans before US vital interests are discussed.

Fortunately not all of the Trump family's China business has suffered.

Trump's 'Made in America' label doesn't fit Ivanka's clothing line
John W. Schoen | Anna R. Schecter
Thursday, 6 Apr 2017 | 7:00 AM ET
CNBC.com

Despite President Donald Trump's calls for American companies to manufacture their products in the U.S., shipments of his daughter's branded, Chinese-made dresses have continued to land on U.S. shores since he took office, documents reviewed by NBC News show. . . .

"We can't continue to allow China to rape our country," Trump told his cheering supporters last year on the campaign trail in Indiana. "There are no jobs because China has our jobs."

Some of those jobs are apparently still filled by Chinese workers assembling dresses for a licensee of Ivanka Trump's namesake clothing line.

Since Election Day, the apparel brand run by Trump's daughter has imported 56 shipments of Ivanka Trump products from China and Singapore, part of a total of 215 shipments from Asia since Jan. 1, 2016.

In his inaugural address, Trump promised that "from this moment on, it's going to be America first."

They did not try because their air defense missiles would have fared as well as their tanks did against US hardware.

Their missiles fared pretty well against US hardware on July 17, 2014.



You being a civilian I can understand your confusion but a 777 is not a military aircraft. A 777 is large and flies at a high altitude. A cruise missile is small and flies at a low altitude.

Maybe.

Or they knew the missiles weren't going to do too much damage:

Syrian aircraft just took off from that same airport and did bombing runs.

Since you are not a pilot or an engineer I can understand how you might not know that a Boeing 777 is US hardware. But it is; made right here in Seattle.

"Assembled" in Seattle would be more accurate:

The production process included substantial international content, an unprecedented level of global subcontracting for a Boeing jetliner, later exceeded by the 787. International contributors included Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Kawasaki Heavy Industries (fuselage panels), Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd. (center wing section), Hawker de Havilland (elevators), and Aerospace Technologies of Australia (rudder). An agreement between Boeing and the Japan Aircraft Development Corporation, representing Japanese aerospace contractors, made the latter risk-sharing partners for 20 percent of the entire development program. The initial 777-200 model was launched with propulsion options from three manufacturers, General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce, giving the airlines their choice of engines from competing firms. Each manufacturer agreed to develop an engine in the 77,000 lbf (340 kN) and higher thrust class (a measure of jet engine output) for the world's largest twinjet.

A military SAM system fared well against a civilian airliner? What point are you trying to make here?

That killing civilians in commercial jetliners or on the ground in a hospital, a school ground, nursery,etc. is what Putin knows best?

2014 – Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, a Boeing 777, crashes near the border of Ukraine and Russia after being shot down. All 298 people on board are killed.
