How brave of you, Eadora, calling someone a coward from the safety and anonymity of the Internet. Obviously, you need to learn what real courage is and fortunately this traumatized craven coward is here to help: https://www.amazon.com/House-Epic-Memoir-War/dp/1416596607 And once again, I would like to thank you for rushing to the defense of the revanchist warmongers in the Kremlin. The moral and intellectual enormity of this faux-humanitarian spectacle is rivaled only by the courage displayed in your post.
Just more PENTAGON scripted Bloviating, spitting and drooling off at the mouth Well what are those nasty Russki's going to do NEXT ? ------------------------------------------------------------- Well for starters they have placed what Warships they have in Syria, right smack dab between the US Warships heading to Syria and are now conducting live fire exercises. - Promising a full response to any ...................................................................................................

Why thank you AE - & thanks for the blood curdling hand to hand combat recommendation. Scary stuff Eh ! So here's my recommendation to you, a little gift for my very favorite Patriotic adversary . . .
Russia said it will attack the launching pads of the missiles, which are on the ships and subs. The attack though doesn't mean necessarily a physical attack, since that would lead to a world war. More than likely they will do what they did to the SS Donald Cook with their electronic warfare. Russia has proved it is capable of attacking the launchers regardless of the new adjustments to the Aegis system, when they made the American drones go haywire.
Ah yes, their legendary "electronic warfare." It's a good bit of propaganda, since it's a lot harder to prove or disprove the claim. No 'splosions and smoke to worry about, just baseless claims in fake news and social media, which people like you then accept and regurgitate.
If they had the ability to interfere with our drones they should have kept it a secret. We should thank Russia for the tip. Letting potential serious enemies know what you can do is usually the kind of strategic error the US makes.
It's also great for confirmation bias, by the way. If anything goes wrong with a plane or ship during operations, Kremlin trolls can point to it and claim that awesome, high-tech Russian electronic warfare was behind it. Like those stupid incidents involving Naval vessels around Korea earlier - that's exactly what they did then.
It makes you wonder how much the "Russian trolls" really like Russia. They consistently undermine Russia's real interests.
According to the video, the Syrian army has gained control of the area and the UN will be able to inspect the alleged chemical attack - so why is Macron blowing his horn and saying he has proof it was Assad. Oh that's right, they have photo's of the flight route. Probably made by the same Kiev group that made the last one. As for Macron, when he was elected he decided to visit Putin and tell him what he thinks. Vladimir Putin sat there quietly and waited for him to finish, and when Macron finished he said to him: 'If you ever speak to me like that again, I will destroy you and your country.' The reporters who heard him freaked. As for the conflict ending bad for Russia, I wouldn't worry. They will survive, but the European nations that will go against Russia later on won't.
One thing is assuming defensive position and another thing is totally abandoning the base. See the difference?
Anybody who survives the bombs of a full on Nuclear Holocaust ... whether - Foggies, Russki's or Yankee Doodles, Will soon ......come to wish that they hadn't. - They will be the unlucky ones ...........They will die slowly of starvation or disease or live on in ...................................................................protracted Misery When will Humanity have done with being ruled by Psychopaths ? .
Have they removed all their personnel from the base? Ships are just sitting ducks in port. It would make sense to move all of them well into the Med.

Trump tweets and the cockroaches scatter. It makes no difference where those ships are. They are being tracked and can be destroyed at any time.

U.S.-led military strikes in retaliation for the Syrian government’s alleged use of chemical weapons against a Damascus suburb last weekend remained a distinct possibility, but there were indications that efforts to head off a confrontation between global powers were gathering momentum. In Moscow, the Kremlin sought to tamp down fears of a conflict with the United States by signaling for the first time in days that it might not carry out threats to retaliate against a U.S. strike. “We still believe that it is very necessary to avoid any steps which can trigger an escalation in tensions in Syria,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “We believe that this could have a very destructive impact on the entire Syrian settlement.” Analysts in Russia said the focus now is on ways to ensure that any strikes are limited so that they don’t kill Russians, thereby allowing Moscow to refrain from carrying out its threats to retaliate. Thousands of Russian troops and military advisers are stationed at military facilities across Syria, where they have been supporting President Bashar al-Assad’s seven-year-old efforts to crush the rebellion against his rule. “I rule out a scenario in which the United States will intentionally strike a facility in Syria where Russian servicemen are located,” Military Sciences Academy Vice President Sergei Modestov said in Thursday’s edition of the government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta. The Kommersant newspaper quoted anonymous Defense Ministry sources as saying that the general staff of Russia’s military was in touch with the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff and expected to receive coordinates on airstrike targets from the Pentagon to avoid Russian casualties. “Right now, the talk is about the necessity of de-escalation,” said Alexander Golts, an independent military analyst in Moscow. “We’ve practically come to the brink of war.” ...
Sure as hell, looks like putler blinked. We should still bomb chemical weapons storage facilities and factories.
YES ! So we get few limited strikes with plenty of warning - So everybody can save face .............................................................................& Assad will remain in power It does NOT matter who blinked - What matters is, that you will NOT have to spend the next several million years as a Gas Bubble encased in Green Irradiated Glass Lets just hope that some FOOL doesn't slip on a Banana Peel .When will Humanity pull the teeth of these Psychopaths ?
