> Do you know what the stakes are for turning a blind eye to employment of internationally banned WMD’s?
Immensely less than that of global thermonuclear war.
How messed up do your priorities have to be to not see that?
Are you that ready to see this world destroyed?
Do you think the Russians, with all the nukes they have had for the last 60 years, and all the proxy wars fought in the cold war, are more suicidal today than then?
Don’t be a drama queen.
Turd worlder islamic jihadis will know that they can obtain and use WMDs with no repercussions if this is not responded to in force. In addition, while we have US forces in the region helping the Kurds or others that are fighting ISIS, Assads weapons are a direct threat to them. I care about our guys doing their jobs and coming home. How messed up are your priorities?
The only problem is a miscalculation by Putin if he tries to respond elsewhere, for example, with an attack on the Baltics.
He may go after another chunk of Ukraine, but even I don't think he's nuts enough to start a war with NATO.
It’s 4 am or so and people in Damascus teporting cell phone messages telling them to take cover.
