Well, unfortunately we will probably find out in a short time. Trump's strike didn't appear to alter anything on the ground and now there is an open invitation for another false flag type attack. I expect we will see one.Depends on the circumstances I would think. If he has to defend Russians I think he would.I guess it depends on your idea of what constitutes retaliation. I think the Russians aren't interested in escalating tensions.He is not going to retaliate against the US.
He is bolstering Syrian defenses.
You sure about no retaliation? And, as far as bolstering Syria's air defenses, you do know that he's bolstering them against the possibility of another joint strike by US/French/English forces? He's giving them a better surface to air system to shoot down any missiles that may be shot into Syria. And, because Putin is close friends with Assad, you can bet it's not to defend Syria from Russian forces.
Russia warns of 'consequences' for US-led strike on Syria as Putin blasts 'act of aggression'
Russia warns of 'consequences' for US-led strike on Syria
- Russia's ambassador to the U.S. warned there would be "consequences" for the strike on Syria, and that a "pre-designed scenario" was underway.
- In ordering strikes on Syria, President Donald Trump called out both Iran and Russia for their support of Bashar Assad's government.
I thought it was clear who Syria needs to defend itself from. Clearly the US is the aggressor.
If Trump lobs any more missiles into Syria, I'll bet you dollars to stale donuts that Putin is gonna do something militarily to the US.
If he has to defend Assad the chances go up.
If another pr stunt like the last effort, probably not.
I think if either Syrians OR Russians were attacked Putin would respond with military force. Why? Because Putin isn't the kind of person to make an empty threat, and his representatives have already said that if we attacked again, it would be met with force.
Trump is the one that makes empty threats. Remember the 3 carrier armada that was supposed to be off the coast of N. Korea?
