But... The thing is, there was NO CHEMICAL WEAPONS. That is a lie. Same lie they spun about Saddam Hussein and non-existent WMDs in Iraq. It's just another reason to bomb another Middle Eastern country.
Trouble is, this time, it's not going to work. This time, the warplanes will be shot down by Russian AA. We need to vote these insane politicians out of office before they kill us all, and the whole world as well.
Bullshit. There absolutely is chemical weapons. Seriously, WTF, did you forget about the deal made to let a 3rd party destroy a shit ton of them that Syria had stockpiled to prevent UN/NATO action?
Saddam absolutely had chemical weapons (and used them, on the Kurds in the 80s, oh and he lobbed some at Iran during that time as well; think he used some later on too). Now, he didn't have any nuclear weapons, which was strongly hinted at as being the main reason, and he had even destroyed much of his chemical stockpiles (but there was still some of the stuff in place so he could produce more).
You give Russia way too much credit. We'd handily be able to take out Russia's military in Syria and we'd kick the everloving shit out of their air force if they tried to send more. Oh please, we're not going to go into WW3 over Syria. Putin has no vested interest in being killed in nuclear hellfire. He has vested interest in gaining more power and strengthening Russia. That doesn't happen if he tries for nuclear apocalypse or even nuclear stalemate now.
Doesn’t Syria have a super fancy Russian air defense system now? I doubt we’re going to bomb anything major that’s well protected if that’s the case.
If by super fancy you mean not exactly cutting edge. You people do realize that countries like Iraq were using "super fancy Russian air defense" when we slapped the shit out of them, right? Russia has improved, but they're completely outclassed by our military. F-22s would mop the floor with anything in the Middle East right now, and we have lots of other means of attacking air defenses (cruise missiles, which we used to devastate a Russian built air base in Syria last year, remember?).
That's not to say we are invulnerable (after all we lost an F-117 during the Somalian conflict), but I don't think people understand the disparity in military power. Russian troops are not going to present an ongoing insurgent issue like we struggled with in Iraq and Afghanistan (oh, by the way, I hope you people know that Russia started arming some of those insurgents to help against us in Afghanistan, trying to do to us what we did to them in the 80s).
Keep playing with the tar baby fucktards. Just keep playing with it. This is insanity. Americans are screaming for conflict with Russia. The media has been pimping it for several years now. Trump seems ever so happy to give it to them. We have moved into civilization threat territory. Absolute utter insanity.
GTFO of Syria NOW!

Wow, you are complete chicken shit.
You really think Russia presents an actual problem for us? Our military (that is already there, let alone the forces we could have there in the span of a week; we already have F-22s stationed in the Middle East, they along with our other air craft could make Syria a no-fly zone, which immediately makes Russian and Syrian military sitting ducks for bombing campaign) could easily kick the shit out of Russia's forces in Syria. Russia knows that. Russia's military has been stymied by Georgia and then fucking Ukraine for fuck's sake. They don't even have the level of military capability they have in Ukraine in Syria either. You really think that they could do a fucking thing about us wiping them and the Syrian military out if we wanted to? Russia is not going to threaten nuclear war over that shit either. The more Russia tries to openly threaten the worse it will be for them. We'll strangle them economically (even China won't stand in the way if Russia starts upping their threats to nukes), and we have the military might that we would beat the shit out of Russia in any conflict basically anywhere that Russia could wage it (Syria, Eastern Europe). Russia only loses by actually pushing things to real conflict. They win by talking tough and poking the bear but not actually getting the bear to do anything.
You really need to stop buying into Russian propaganda about their military might. Russia isn't going to use nukes and that's the only real threat they have to our military. Russia is a threat in that they're actively trying to sabotage our country, but they are not a direct military threat. We should be working to prevent them from becoming one again too as they've shown very problematic behavior just in the amount they currently wield.
What you're missing is that America doesn't want conflict with Russia or really in general (for the most part, there are of course right wing psychopaths that would love for us to roll into Iran, and probably some that would like us to nuke North Korea). That's why we didn't steamroll them out of Syria and wipe Assad's forces out. We don't want to be involved, contrary to what you seem to believe. We are involved because of the problems coming from that conflict (ISIS, genocide).
GTFO of here with that horseshit "the media is pushing for conflict with Russia" bullshit. They're reporting on what Russia has been doing. If you think we shouldn't have a problem with that then...wow.
Putin may or may not want direct conflict. I don't think he does because I don't think he wants people to see how badly his military would get its ass kicked, which it would. I do think he would like something to happen so he can spin it as America attacking Russian military (so he'd love for us to shoot down a Russian jet or something small but would trigger a big fervor). Mostly he wants the Russian people to ok pushing for more and more military development. But they're kinda stuck, as sanctions are hindering their economy. Why do you think they were trying to help Turmp in exchange for lessening the sanctions.
What's even more stupid is that you think us standing down is going to prevent Russia from stepping up the shit they're pulling. It won't. That's why we need to make sure they understand we won't just sit by while they perpetrate genocide and actively undermine our country.
I've posted this before. No, I'm not calling for us to go rolling into Syria like we did Iraq. But we damn sure need to not sit by while stuff like this goes on, or else you might as well just surrender to Russia now to stave off WW3 if you're going to be that much of a coward about it.
