Just a quick reality-check.

Trump tweeted this two hours ago:
The reason you don’t generally hit runways is that they are easy and inexpensive to quickly fix (fill in and top)!

Odd thing for Trump to tweet, although it’s mostly true. Thursday’s missile attack probably caused some damage, but Syria reportedly could fly a jet out of Al Shayrat airfield by the next day. It’ll cost us around $60M to replace the 60 missiles, an amount I’m guessing is significantly more than Syria will spend filling the potholes.
A lot of cash for a distraction, but I guess it’s not like it’s his money.
