Are any of you paying attention to what is going on in Syria.

The west and WHO are saying that Assad used chemical weapons on Syrians and killed about 50 people.

Who says 500 patients show signs of toxic weapon exposure.

Israel already struck Syria in response. Russia and Iran blamed them openly and Iran is now vowing retaliation.

Russia vetoed a US resolution in the Security council condemning Syria. T hen they warned that any American missiles and the sources they are shot from will be shot down.

Trump tweeted basically here they come so get ready and don't try and shoot them down or their will be consequences.

Also France and Britain are on board with joining a response.

Furthermore Russia is actively jamming American drones in Syria.

So now we have Russia, Iran and Syria v America, Israel, France and Britain in open hostilities and on the verge of open warfare. Hopefully cooler heads prevail. But you already have all nations listed vowing further attacks over what has already happened and further responses if the other side responds.
 
A bunch of d**** measuring d****. What could possibly go wrong?

Some leaders like Macron in France have backed themselves into a corner where they either act to save face and further escalate a possible war or get humiliated politically. Then you have wildcards like Trump or religious fanatics like Iran.

Hang on, this one could get ugly and fast.
