UN convoy/US bombing fuck up. What im curious about is how long these tensions are gonna stay high or how were gonna try to diffuse them.

Well, this thread is a shit-show of repeated information and unjustified panic.

"A limited military intervention could include actions such as shooting down Syrian planes or striking regime air bases, but the White House has been reluctant to consider such measures, which risk a military confrontation in which Moscow shoots down US planes or draws in Iran to the fight"

That is a quote from the article.. I cant imagine the Russians taking too kindly to that.

The only thing they can do is tell Russia straight up that they need to choose. Do you want Syria or do you want Ukraine? We are not going to let you have both. You don't see us invading our neighbors. If anything, they are invading us, lol. The joke is we didn't hardly have any troops in the Baltics until Putin started going off the deep end. He is like a paranoid relic from the Cold War or worse, a power hungry dictator that's wants "breathing room". Where have we heard that before?

lol please Iran just try it. How quickly they forget what we did next door to them. We eliminated their enemy and what do we get in return, the same crap.
