Seems to me that after all the rhetoric over the past 48 hours, there are two possible outcomes:

If we don’t start shooting (so to speak) soon, we will look like a paper tiger.

If we do start shooting, we risk it getting out of control and WWIII commences.

Considering the Russians can't even force a decision in Ukraine where they have a land border, Russia is no longer capable of WWIII.

It's not 1977 anymore.

The Russians ain’t going to respond militarily. Does anyone remember the Cuban Missile Crisis?

[Navy Patriot]

Pretty concise.

WW-III began with Operation Masterdom
in Vietnam
on September 13, 1945

[Alberta's Child]

The third possible outcome is the most likely: The U.S. and Russia stage a phony missile strike that accomplishes nothing important but does satisfy a bunch of gullible, slack-jawed TV viewers.

[Sam Gamgee]

Yep, this is what the Deep State brought us to. Trump maybe needs to confer with Putin behind the scenes that this will be a single missile launch to save face.

If we do start shooting, we risk it getting out of control and WWIII commences.

Or Russia's ambassador is full of crap and we call his bluff........Which I suspect will be the case.

Russia has neither the money, the resources or an end game to get involved with the U.S., especially over a stinky country like Syria............Relax Paulie
