How soon will the US retaliate?

Well Barry let it slide for what 7 years... I don't think President Trump will tolerate these acts for that long. Maybe put some pressure on Vlad to reign in his dog.

Whatever it is will be 180 from Barry's tact.... and the snowflakes will melt regardless of his actions.

He won't.

[JustRalph]

He shouldn't. The time to act passed years ago. I don't mind if he sends Air Forces only. Our Air Force could shut them down pretty easy. But he should try to rope Putin into looking like a good guy and joining the effort. But Putin probably won't backtrack

I'd rather we leave the Middle East entirely. It will always be a mess.

Like I said Vlad's the lad to go to...

But with all the Anti Russian shit slinging from the Demo's makes that harder to offer a carrot.

The whole sandpit Barry left is littered with piles of poo with his failed grand regime change plan.

we need to stay the hell out of there. let those people kill off as many of each other as they can. every jihadist, potential jihadist and supporter of jihad needs to go.

If it were only that simple.

The correct answer here is to step in and smack some heads.

Remove high value air defense systems and institute a No-Fly Zone. The Russian's if they want to play along (they won't) can but we do it unilaterally or through NATO otherwise.

Deferring to a Soviet and allowing his Proxy to gas civilians isn't American Foreign Policy.

Like Obama, however, he won't do much... the justifications will just be different.

[chadk66]

If it was entirely up to me I'd turn the whole area to glass. It would end a pile of BS we are having to deal with.

Yes...yes. The older we get, the more war-like we become...because the fighting is done by the young.

a lot of this stuff (syrian crisis , ukraine crisis) seems to be about the Sevastopol/Tartus 'pipeline'

You'd never know it from the Main Stream Media reports but there is some suspicion that this was a FALSE FLAG attack set off by the rebels.
Whatever Trump does he'd better be 100% certain of who engineered this horrific attack.

That is the Russian line at the UN to avoid Syrian sanctions. It's a repeat of the one they used in 2013 the last time the Syrian government gassed civilians.

I know folks like you love using terms like "false flag" to show you've got killer "reading utter nonsense on the internet" skillz and an uber cool detachment to actual facts or thoughtful analysis.

And dripping the "MSM ain't covering it" bullshit might make you the coolest kid on the block in your head except for the fact that EVERY major news outlet has mentioned the Russian propaganda line.

You probably didn't know that since you have better sources but it's still true.

Nice job being a useful tool.

maybe Trump should act and draw a red line in the sand, and if they cross it he will be disappointed and as worthless as the previous POTUS
