If they won't intervene then why does Russia and China both have warships in the region. You have no clue how easily this could go South.

When I see the slow escalation of threats and counter threats it seems Russia is talking herself into a corner....
When, and if,US bombs fall......they will have to respond....specially if their Iranian Allies get involved right away.....

You're joking, right?
Russia and China will not intervene, they want Mid-East oils as bad as the US.
There will be no nuclear war, the same damage can be done with a fuel air bomb
Obama has lots of those in the arsenal and will probably use them to take out government troops

Russia and China both have ships in the Med. They are not for show...Putin has made it clear he will intervene if the US invades Syria and I dont think he is one for idle threats.
The thing is... The US population think their country is the greatest and most powerful....The Russians probably think they are.
Only one of you is right.
The difference is Russia has China on their side who could drown most nations in man power alone. The US however is quickly running out of allies.
the whole world is clear on the syria situation...nobody wants this conflict...so if Obama actually invades I dont think he will get away with it.. Russia will step in...as will China...along with Syria and Iran...Isreal will step in with the US as well as France most likely....at which point it will be a global conflict and a whole range of other nations will almost certainly be dragged in.
This is not like libya or Iraq or Afghanistan...Syria is the line...Obama wants to cross it.
