Do you know what will happen after they strike?

I don't.

And EVERYTHING feeds the MIC.

Do you know what it costs to shoot one of those missiles? Believe me--someone made big money.

Whatever the geopolitical ambitions may be---guys get rich in war. It's good for business. A so-called "limited strike" is just part of the larger picture.
