Harry J. Kazianis, FOX News: Trump orders Syria strikes: Will attacks lead to US war with Russia?
After President Trump’s Friday night announcement that U.S., French and British military forces have launched missile strikes against Syria’s chemical weapons capabilities in response to that nation’s recent deadly attack on its own citizens with poison gas, the world wonders: Will the American action spark a war between the U.S. and Russia?
CIA Director Mike Pompeo pointed out Thursday that the U.S. has already killed a large number of Russians in Syria. “A handful of weeks ago, the Russians met their match,” Pompeo said at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on his nomination to become secretary of state. “A couple hundred Russians were killed.”

WNU Editor: This was a very limited strike .... and according to General Dunford .... carefully chosen to avoid Russian casualties. But Russia is going to retaliate, and I predict that they will do so in the future by targeting U.S. forces in eastern Syria via through their proxies. But .... if there are a number of Russian military casualties from tonight's attack.... this ex-Russian General is correct .... 'If Russian blood is shed, then Russia will retaliate': Ex-General warns the Kremlin could bomb Cyprus and repeats threats to US ships (Daily Mail). Failure to do so would undermine Russian President Putin's credibility with his allies and with public opinion in Russia .... but for all intents and purposes we will then be at a state of war (or very near it).

Fusion,
These will not be mercenaries who will be involved.
This will be Russian special forces as "green men", Syrian/Iranian/Hezbollah/etc. fighters, and they will be having the means to protect themselves from U.S. aircraft.
Be cool: "The means to protect themselves"?
How exactly? Move s400 ststems east to the river? Only way to protect your armys advance is by controlling the skys. An air battle would need to ensue and the advantage would clearly be in the US favor...
The US has draw a line in the sand at the river...
WNU and NATO green men will be there too. Their army is no better than their mercenaries.
At the moment, there is only 1 S-400 system at Khmeymin, but Russia has the ability to deploy many more close/medium/long range SAMs to Syria, along with ECM systems, which would create a real deterrent to US air incursions, then US forces in eastern Syria would be vulnerable, especially if Russia were to deploy artillery systems and tactical ballistic missiles.
Sure, you can say the US can handle that, but only with the deployment of carriers groups and a massive deployment of men and materiel to the region, which isn't present at the moment and would take weeks/months to prepare.
Yeah, that is it, western military members are the equivalent of mercenaries.
You can believe that and believe John FORBES Kerry about their job prospects and reasons for joining the military.
Or we can use facts.

You are bright enough to learn simple code
Tip. Too difficult to turn your stuff into readable link and so some of us miss what might be useful
Fred,
I deleted the HTTP pr HTTPS. Copy and paster the link into the URL book and it works or the link works without copying and pasting from an email.
It does have the www prefix after all.
I also gave the 'full tile' of the HuffPo story. It should be findable.
Fred,
I will give your advice consideration. I dislike clutter so I truncated the url, which still be usable.
However, communication is a 50-50 street, so maybe I will not truncate them in the future. At least High school speech class wasn't a waste unlike last year of High school English. The latter course was a pump and dump course ran at full speed, because "We don;t have time. It would have been better tot take our proper time with English and spent two years instead of a crammed accelerated 'College Prep English. English should be work, but it should be fun also. Alas the last year of high school and Freshman year the curriculum makers mangled all love of English.
