who wants to bet Russia and N. Korea will join forces and end us? personally don't give a shit i was probably die of a heart attack in a year anyways
North Korea only continues to exist because of China. NK is just a front - I would worry more about the Chinese.

It's unlikely Russia will respond with war. They have their own financial problems to deal with, notably the sanction that a large amount of the world is imposing upon them.

Don't forget, Turkey shot down one of their planes. Nothing happened. Unless they decide they want the world to burn, especially themselves, they will not do anything this time either.

Backing off is in their best interest. The sanctions are hurting them quite a bit as far as their economic health goes, and they need to prioritize getting rid of that, or lessening it at least.

Maybe Syria shouldn't have been fucking stupid and used Sarin against it's citizens, you know, considering that chemical warfare has been banned, but what do they care? Now Russia is getting butthurt? That would make them an accomplice or supporter of said chemical warfare. Sorry, but I have no sympathy towards the Syrian government; yes, I have 100% sympathy to the citizens who have to suffer, but not to the idiots in charge.

Have any facts that indicate it was the Syrian Government? Aware that the rebels have infact used chemical attacks on the population before?

Agreed. Its funny to see people knocking Trump for this. I'm not a Trump supporter, but this would have happened no matter who the president was. It was set in stone when Obama agreed not to use force a few years ago, under the condition that chemical weapons will no longer be used. We bombed an air base, didn't even take the flight strip out of commission, was a warning shot more than anything.
