I meant the opposite. If the US bombs the airbase, and thereby bombs the Russian military, Putin may feel justified on the international stage at massively responding to us. Talk of tactical nukes has been mentioned.
And while I think Obama may be stupid enough to bomb the Russian military at the airbase, I think if Putin were to retaliate with tactical nukes, I think Obama would just surrender (meaning: stop fighting in Syria).
That would have longterm repercussions for how the world sees the US.
Gottya!! totally agree. There are those like McCain , who met with Isis in Syria to plot against the constitutional government there, that would actually want a full blown war over this. I don’t care what happens there. I am more focused in cleaning out the terrorist ,like the bloods and crips, in Chicago.
