No one is mentioning what the Iranian or Russian reaction could be.
Based on what happened last week, with Putin standing up to Obama, and Iran’s threats to honor the Treaty with Syria, and all of this “Limited Action!” talk being repeated over and over again, you just got to know that Putin and his advisors see this as a chance to stand up against the Weak US President Obama.
We are scared to death of a wider war, and the Russians know that. Kerry is repeatedly trying to play down the chance of a wider war.
If Putin orders his forces to defend Syria during a US attack, the political gain could far outweigh the risks, especially with China backing his position.
FINALLY, someone has the balls to ask the question! I’m surprised to see it’s Shaheen, though. I expected Rubio to address this.
