This whole Syrian situation makes no sense to me. Why would Assad use gas now, especially after we JUST said we would withdraw from Syria??? Who else benefits from keeping us in the region? I would think the Russians wouldn't, though with their recent track record of using toxic weapons who knows. The Israelis? The UK?
It seems to me history is repeating itself and we're on the verge of another proxy war between the US and Russia similar to Afghanistan.
What are the chances this explodes into a global conflict and possibly nuclear exchanges? Lots of military on here...interested in your perspectives. Please try and keep it civil.
