It will not. You have to understand that in case of the nuclear war everyone is on the losing end but politicians love to rule. No one will use nukes over Syria. Putin knows that O is weak and he does this for political advantage. Currently I’m watching O’s press conference on Fox and he is embarrassment to our country. He is weak and his tone of voice is indication of fear.

Please strip all bias out of your soul -- I have it too, btw -- and observe his tone and demeanor with great objectivity, so that I can truly ascertain his attitude.

I don't think it's a matter of weakness. Syria is a traditional Soviet client state. Russia has been backing up for over 25 years since the end of the Warsaw Pact. Over Syria, they may have decided that this is as far as they care to retreat, and they'll back up no further. We've not bombed North Korea, and NK has a negligible ability to lob nukes at us. Russia has 10K nukes. Any president should be very careful about baiting the bear, after all the Russian humiliations of the past several decades. It would be insane to start a nuclear confrontation when our ideological differences are mostly gone, and Russia is no longer fomenting violent revolution throughout the world by funding, training and equipping communist movements. We did not intervene in Rwanda, where a million people were hacked to pieces in a one-sided massacre and the offending party had no allies capable of lobbing nukes at us. Why would we intervene in Syria, where a civil war is raging and the carnage is mainly the result of two parties waging war, when the regime's major ally, Russia, has 10K nukes?
