You would risk war with Russia over an issue that the average American is less passionate about than the new Halloween Whopper at Burger King?

Who is going to fight that war, You? American’s for the most part have ZERO interest in Syria or who rules it.

If Assad wins (i.e. regains control of Syria) the following will happen:

1. You’ve given a bully (Putin, AKA the Mussolini of the new millennium) a victory. He won’t stop here. He’ll move on the Baltic States (NATO members) or Israel next. That’ll mean war for sure. Only superior force stops a bully. Russia is not the mighty USSR. It’s a faint shadow of that, with a pretense of greatness.
2. You’ve given Iran a wholly undeserved victory, and a launch point against Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States. If you think the Mullahs are a PITA now you ain’t seen nothing yet. And besides, Iran has yet to have received a comeuppance for the Hostage Crisis. Karma can’t wait forever.
