US considering 8 possible targets in Syria – President Trump says decision coming 'fairly soon'

[F-22Raptor]

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he would meet with Defense Secretary James Mattis and Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – and that a decision on whether the U.S. military will respond to alleged Syrian chemical attacks will be made "fairly soon."

A source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told CNBC the U.S. was considering striking eight potential targets. Those targets include two Syrian airfields, a research center and a chemical weapons facility.

The source also noted that Syria's military has repositioned a significant amount of air assets to Russian-controlled airfields in hopes that Washington would be reluctant to strike there.

This is like saying:
Hey buddy, I am going to hit you on the nose and another seven parts of you body.. you know they are not vital points.. It won't hurt much, so just wait for a second, don't move.. I am coming back..

Fucking hypocrites.

America should do more against terrorism.

 

[Trango Towers]

America has once again blinked.
Russian defence minister has said they will not only shoot down the missiles and aircraft but also the source.
putin today told Russians to stock up on supplies
trump has changed his tune from aggression to passive.
Russian troops are embedded with the Syrians this will be very hard and if Russians start to die then the americans and british etc will pay

Losing the opportunity of shock and awe, incompetence or deliberate ?

I believe this posturing is only for Russia to keep its eyes away while Israel will strike the targets inside Syria where no one is expecting it.

Both America and Israel can hit Syria whenever they want and no one can do anything.

I don't think its walk in park for US and Israel. Russia and Iran have their interests there, resistance will come in one way or the other.

Russia cannot lose its credibility built over two years, losing Syria means losing all arabs clients in one go.

If Israel/US conduct massive airstrikes or launch thousands of missiles,what can be the response of Iran and Russia?

If they could, they already would have done that when Russia wasn't there. They did in Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan.
I don't expect US to go all stomping in Syria now, too late.

 

[OldTwilight]

look like Democrats want to hurt Trump at any cost to win next election .... just like our beloved reformists who will do anything to just win the presidential election....

If Israel/US conduct massive airstrikes or launch thousands of missiles,what can be the response of Iran and Russia?

maybe thousands of rockets and shells will fall on Israel as response !?
They are doing half of this things to secure Israel , so we target that security ....
