The names change, the world domination game remains the same.
90% of the time it's "DILLIGAF" towards him, but at least he wasn't wanting to put boots on the ground.
The thing being missed is that this is yet another CW attack after Syria was supposed to have gotten rid of all chemical weapons, an act which does have repercussions under assorted things like UN resolutions, chemical weapons treaties, and so on.
Personally, I thought the attack was quite measured, light even, we don't know what's lurking under the Med so it is likely that the barrage could have been much heavier. It was a warning, a reminder to Assad that he was supposed to have disposed of all CW and, when the dust is settled, he will have to answer to that.
Unless you think using CW at all, never mind on civilians, is ok when you are supposed to have disposed of all such weapons and means to produce such weapons, of course.
Of course it does. And once the dust eventually settles on what's left of Syria you'll have some who hate the Russians but love "the West", those who hate "the West" but love the Russians, with China waiting to step in for those who hate both.
And the same will start again.

This is all just theater and won't change anything. Why does tRUmp get so upset about a small number of killings with CW's and says nothing about mass bombing of civilian targets. They use artillery and bombs to level neighborhoods full of people and target hospitals and schools with children and tRUmp doesn't do or say anything. Don't forget tRUmp is a sociopath without empathy and Putin probably is too. Why would they start WW3 over that patch of desert without abundant natural resources and only real value is in it's sea port.

There isn't going to be WW3, just a bunch of government continuing to play their game while innocent human beings are the real victims of the bombing

I believe Genie Oil has a significant oil reserve there in Golan Heights
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golan_Heights
Internationally recognized as Syrian territory occupied by Israel
The reality is that his comment was so inane it's clear he has no clue about the known and estimated oil and gas in and around Syria, or that the "value" as a sea port is only a value to one party under certain circumstances.
In other words, save your breath.

They aren't starting WW3 over a oil field of that size.

Is there a reason Exxon suppressed info that could strengthen National Defense 30 yrs ago?

We all know how they feel about black and brown muslims and now you think they will go to war over them.

It's not going to happen
The so called war would have been started being as Isreal has been bombing and other things in Syria for the longest. It's not going to be some doomsday war like many are in fear of/promoting

Russia's main interest there is the sea port. The oil and gas fields are in the Mediterranean and off shore of more than one country.

Hope your right. I heard the whole Syrian conflict has been and is over who controls a gas pipeline that will cut through the land. But at any rate...why would Assad drop some chem bombs like that? He had the rebs on the ropes. He knows what the repercussions would be. Doesn't make sense. There was no reason for it. Unless he did knowing he would get blamed and he could cause conspiracy ideas inn the western world by denying it and saying the Brits were behind it. The whole dealy just doesn't make sense.

Yes the pipeline is a big deal to the oil and gas industry but you can always build another one some where else, they won't start WW3 over it. The world is moving to renewable energy no matter if the fossil fuel industry likes it or not and oil and gas prices show that. Wars are more likely to be started over water resources in the near future.

“The more the US puts pressure on Iran, the closer Iran will get to China,” said Foad Izadi, an assistant professor in the Department of North American Studies at the University of Tehran.

Israel wants Syria, just like Israel wanted Palestine.
