    I would take that as an overt act of aggression and would respond with unparalleled force.

    I think Assad will continue to annihilate his people.  I don't think Syria is going to attack the U.S., but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Putin and the Iranians start saber rattling.

    It would be folly. Our anti-missles are the best in the world.

    We sent something like 59 Tomahawk missiles to a Syrian airfield and did a lot of damage. Can they respond in kind? Thank you for your reply Ele and Happy Saturday! :)

    Well, given our resources and power, I suspect we would have the luxury of interpreting it as either an act of war or a minor annoyance depending on how we wanted to use it to our advantage.

    Considering what the US did to the civilians of Mosul, it would be well merited. Unfortunately, there is currently no-one strong enough to take them on.

    Gee, I hope we haven't been using chemical weapons on our people. ( OK, maybe a few teargas canisters on some unruly rioters)

    Is Syria capable of responding in any drastic/harmful way bh or will Assad just condemn and complain along with Iran, Russia et al? Is Syria toothless response-wise? Thank you for your reply and Happy Saturday!   :)
