A regime that uses chemical weapons is hostis humani generis. You don't need a declaration of war to go after them any more than you do to go after pirates.
It was Putin's stupidity to tie Russia's reputation to the Assad regime: if he had the Assads gassed and replaced with a more responsible brute, the US wouldn't care. So my guess is he doesn't have the power to do so, and I infer from that that his position in Syria is far weaker than it seems.
Like this guy?
And, therefore, Iran’s much stronger.
I don’t think Russia would mind an attack on Iranian assets at all.
It’s amazing to see how many Putin supporters or Russian trolls are active on FR.
Yes, it is. They parrot the Kremlin talking points for the day with no shame. When their lies are proven they never apologize for spreading their manure on a conservative website. They just move on to the next lie.

I used to have graphics software that would localize a user with pings and show the location on a world map.
We have 3 loser types involved here:
1. Conspiracy false flag nuts, mostly Ron Paul liberaltarian dead-enders
2. Useless Idiots who are too weak-minded to fend off Russian propaganda. They gently sell their American souls for Russian B.S.
3. Paid Russian cyberwarriors.
It wouldn’t be so difficult to seek who is what.
