Will Trump bomb Assad?

How can he do that, without Russian permission (as when Israel bombs Hezbollah commanders in Syria)?

We dont need Russian permission.

There are russian anti-air systems, as you know. So Trump can
a) start the WW3
b) bomb some Assad objects with Russian permission, as Israel
c) bomb Deir-ez-Zor and help ISIS to seize the city

We dont need Russian permission.

Do you want a nuclear confrontation?

No but we're not a Russian vassal state either.

Just a simple question, did Syrian government allow US troops and airforces come to Syrian soil?

Assad has no legitimacy as the Syrian government. The world has a responsibility to stop the murder of innocent civilians. I don't think ground troops should be sent to Syria, but I think a Libya-style intervention would be in order. At the very least, safe zones and a no-fly zone should be formed to protect civilians from Assad's brutality.

So you learn nothing from Iraq and Lybia interventions.

how crazy do some of you think putin is, that he would NUKE the free world to defend iran's playground?

If US planes start attacks on Assad positions, Russian systems will easily shoot down some of them. And what next? Massive strike on the whole Russian contingent in Syria? Sounds awful.


By the way, i think Trump wouldn't do anything serious.

possible, but that is part of every operation.

i guess all of us are on the same line, if the US really wanted to conquer Syria, it easily could. Would be harder if Russia REALLY pushed back but that is highly unlikely, imho.

and the russia contingent in syria has decreased a LOT since the last year....now the operation is mostly run by iranians.

There are still about 30 Russian war-planes, Russian modern anti-air missiles (i'm not sure that USAF can overcome it without huge losses) and 2000+ soldiers.
