Russia and Iran warn US they will 'respond with force' if red lines crossed in Syria again

Since when did we become the world police? There are many countries and many dictators and terrible leaders, that do terrible things to their citizens. Are we going to respond to all the same way? Why this response for 70 killed in an attack? Why -now-.. when when nearly 20 times as many were killed during a chemical attack while Obama was in office? Trump was not ok with it then.. but now it is different how? Because he saw some pictures? I hope that isn't how he is making critical decisions about U.S. involvement in foreign wars and politics.

He promised to have a master plan for defeating ISIS in 30 days. Where is it? I don't think attacking the country that actually is a buffer against ISIS is a secret part of that plan. And while dozens die in church blasts over the weekend that ISIS takes credit for, Trump doesn't seem closer to fulfilling that campaign promise. How about he focus on the mess that was created by removing the buffer that was Libya, before opening another in what is Syria?

The whole policy is, regime change in Syria . Mabey they are killing two birds with one stone as Iran has supplied men and arms to help Assad. But now the plan is looking wonky, as Marie Le Penn and other Nato allies want stronger security ties with Russia. Germany has set up factories in Russia to bypass the sanctions. Which might mean America while its having a nervous breakdown, might get put in solitary until it gets better.

The most 'force' Syria and Russia can muster, combined, is insignificant next to the US. And, anything stupid one or both might do, would provoke a significant response from the US. So, rave on....

I think we've been the world's police since around 1945, (maybe even 1918).

Of course they'll be crossed

this is just standard sectarian violence amongst muslim countries
and the west just want to stir the pot a little to destablise the surrounding regions which border with Iran

all proxy war and all bull#
and anyone who agrees with bombing people / civilians doesnt deserve to call themselves human


all the rest of the stories is all just bull , to gain public favour for war


"they used chemical weapons, they used weapons which contravene the geneva convetion"

OK so if the world is so pissed at assad for using chemcial weapons on his people with sketchy details and not alot of evidence

then where is the international outcry from the West when Israel used white phosphorous over civilian populations , where is the outcry at the blatant and systematic genocide of the peoples of the muslim communities

i know the people of earth spoke out

but where was the UN intervention there , where was the western coalition going in to take out the "dictators" killing innocents in israel

its all #in bull#
and if you buy into , then you are just as bad as those who start these proxy wars, trump , et al

the point is not another Saddam's Iraq that USA will ultimately withdraw after decade. The point is Russia is in Syria invited by the government, in the country with the only Russian naval base so far. Imagine the vice versus scenario.

I'm starting to see a lot of red lines in Syria. And everyone is walking over them.

The greatest hypocritical stance of America is their fake concern for the Syrian people.

Here they help create and maintain ISIS to destroy Syria. Do you realize they wanted ISIS to take over Syria and commit a genocide on those Shia Muslims so the world would them DEMAND the powerful US go in and save the day.

Imagine that folks, that the degree of evil in the US sinister plan for Syria.

Trump is now their prisoner. IF he doesn't go all out they will get rid of him
