    My logic is sound. Americans cry their little eyes out when a couple of 100 of them die for geopolitical games and eventually they surrender and go home. Countless of examples on that one.

    Why should Russia respond? No military bases has been destroyed, no people killed.
    Of course, Putin could launch the missiles somewhere to the North Pole, but why to waste money? As this is what Trump did- wasted money launching the missiles in the nowhere.

    It's a matter of not caring vs caring how many soldiers die. Russians don't care. Americans do.

    "The man explains that American forces used artillery and helicopter gunships to repel the assault. “They were all shelling the holy **** out of it, and our guys didn’t have anything besides the assault rifles…. Nothing at all, I’m not even talking about shoulder-fired SAMs or anything like that…. They tore us to pieces, put us through hell,” he says."

    Its a nuclear power and their latest missiles are so fast that the US is not able to stop them from blowing up their entire fleet. So you know.... there is that.

    And just which of YOUR "so called nutty Russian apologists" was it that said, to the effect :
    'That Russia was going to respond to your missile attack in Syria with a full blown Nuclear Response ?
    ....Or is this just another of your Absurdities, another one of the Lies, you use to pump up the Volume
    ...................................................................& hopefully spread the Infection of YOUR HATE ?

    There are those who appear to have been clever enough not to have stated it in such an obvious manner but rather painted the picture quite well nonetheless with posted images of American cities destroyed under a barrage of Russian missiles.
    'Destroyer of Illusion' is one whose contributions come quickly to mind....there's no denying that such presentations hint at the same result without committing it to writing!

    You demand Russia to hand over their latest weapons to be verified or else you will not trust it?

    No - NOT one - 'stated it in such an obvious manner'
    But YOU DID !. - And I claim such bald misleading Bloviating
    ............................. to be nothing but malicious Hate Mongering

    No doubt some of the Russki's here gave appropriate WARNING, laced with a measure
    of Jingoism of their own ! - If you don't see the danger of escalation in this situation you
    are an even bigger Fool than I take you for. - Any serious Russian defeat in Syria will
    be seen by them as an Existential Threat. - Any concerted attack on Russia in Syria,
    will I believe lead to a Russian defeat in Syria, and that will lead to a Tactical Nuclear
    response to stave off such a defeat , and that will lead to a Full out Nuclear exchange !

    If you don't believe it can happen, or that you can win such a scenario, then please
    familiarize yourself with recent History and its many close calls.. Any unfortunate
    survivors of a Nuclear War will wish they were DEAD unless they are hunkered
    down in some Multi Billionaire'$ bunker somewhere - Somebody is playing with your life

    IF YOU ARE NOT OUTRAGED - YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION

    I've Studied Nuclear War For 35 Years -- you should be worried.

    Your alarmist howling notwithstanding, I don't buy into your fearful assessment of Moscow's certain response. It is doubtful that Russia would see a defeat in Syria as any more of an "existential threat" than what they experienced during the collapse of the Soviet Union, and it is equally as doubtful that the Putin regime would risk their own annihilation by the idiotic use of such weapons simply to save Assad's ass or to save face. You can continue to drop big worry tears on your pillow at night in your self-inflicted nightmare but most of us can't help but laugh at your hysteria!

    As a man who fought an enemy equipped with Russian equipment I have some knowledge of their weaponry. The AK47 developed in the 1940's and still the main infantry weapon of the Russians. It is worthless at more than 200 meters and a skilled marksman can hardly put 10 rounds inside a pie plate at 100 meters. In contrast, the US has upgraded it's main military rifle 4 times since WWII. Our weapons are extremely accurate and can kill at over a thousand meters. Russian tanks are also still basically the same as the WWII version. They have manually operated turrets and it takes a man with 15" biceps to move it. During the battle of Norfolk in the Gulf war 750 Soviet tanks were destroyed, in contrast 5 American tanks were destroyed. Their aircraft is more of the same.

    The fact is all their conventional war equipment is low tech and of old in design. Russia knows a conventional war with the US would be a slaughter. Therefore they do everything possible to avoid one. While I have no firsthand knowledge, I see no reason to believe that their nuclear weapons would be any better.

    And that is why they will try to retain the ability to totally destroy america if the US uses its military against russia. It is what kept a much wiser DC and the old USSR in check for so long.

    I hope russian maintains the ability to destroy the US, for the sole reason of keeping us in check with our neocon driven foreign policy and hegemony. Not like any american with a brain can trust our own gov't these days given the propensity of it to lie to us habitually, and given the fact that DC stopped representing the People decades ago. Be different if we had a govt by and for the people, but we lost that.
