If the Rooskies don’t want Asshat taken down then they
shouldn’t let him put us in a situation where we are
forced to react. The same can be said about the NORKS,
vis a vis the ChiComs.

No, not sarcasm, President Trump is a lot smarter than what people are saying.

AEGIS ships are designed to tackle such threats. One frigate launching, well, I cant say there is zero percent chance a missile gets through and sinks our ship but it's certainly no slam dunk. And if you launch on us it's world war III so I doubt the Russians want to start WWIII by having one of their frigates sunk after making some futile gesture.

In my opinion they sent ONE ship so it's not perceived as a real threat but sends a message that Syria is under Russian protection and next time it could get ugly.

Let’s tell the riskiest that no matter what they keep their port, like we keep Gitmo.

The Bosporus Strait runs through downtown Istanbul. Plenty of viewing opportunity.

And you don’t launch missiles against a sovereign nation that you are not prepared to go to war with.

Horse feathers. Reagan shut Qaddafi up for roughly 30 years with a simple airstrike that sent a clear message. Trump is a Reagan student.

I certainly hope and pray Trump is taking the Reagan approach to Libya instead of the Hillary approach. We shall see.

Not this time. I can see the point in earlier posts that he might have been making a point to China last night but.....

This has a 1,000 different ways to go bad, especially with the intelligence war going on in Washington. You do not shoot missiles at a country unless you are ready to go to all out war and that means going to war with Russia who is there and protecting Assad.

What happens in Trump's smarter than everyone else's world when China and Russia hook up to take out the bully???? This is not going anywhere good fast especially with 2 warships staring each other down and not being able to trust our own deep state and intelligence.

Set off what?

Russia is checked. They already used their old cold war era ships to try to prop up Assad and now they're docked undergoing maintenance except for a frigate.

It also ends this crazy story that somehow Trump and Putin are allied.

Oh, you must think thermonuclear war. Except Putin and his plutocrat cronies can't sail around in their megayachts with supermodels in an apocalypse.
