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?
This is NOT a proxy war.
This is NATO forces in direct conflict with Russian forces.
Your argument about chemical weapons is starkly reminiscient of arguments about gun control. It’s beyond belief that you take seriously the idea that Islamic jihadis will adhere to any convention about chemical weapons or any other weapons.
