the ramifications, implications, repercussions, reaffirmations on promises... That is really the only thing worth discussing here...
Okay, well Russia is sending more money to Syria. Ramping up Syria's anti-air defenses. Increasing its own naval presence.
For instance how is this going to impact Xi's perception on promises Trump made on N Korea.... Iran on Israel etc.
It wont. Attacking North Korea would cause millions of civilians to die. The pentagon would never consider it, and the Chinese know it.
Iran probably wont change much. They might increase their long range naval patrols and UAV surveillance to provide security in case of a cruise missile strike like this happening on themselves. This might be used by their defense ministry as justification to increase production of their long range anti-ship missiles.
