What do you guys think? The US has planned cruise missile strikes but only after the UN inspectors have exited Syria. This is expected to be by Thursday or Friday. Russia and Iran have threatened to intervene if the US gets involved as well as Syria retaliating. Iran has threatened to attack Israel upon US intervention. No clue what Russia has planned but it is rumored that Russia is not planning involvement outside of the diplomatic process. Israel is now beefing up defenses anticipating and attack from Iran and/or Syria upon US intervention in the region. China is telling us to stay out of it as well, but there is no clear indication at this time that China will play a role in the conflict. The question though, is will this lead to WW3? There are a few possible outcomes and this is how I think they will play out: 1. The US launches cruise missile sites as planned, and possibly enforces a no-fly zone and possibly carry out airstrikes against assets on the ground and no one reacts, the rebels gain the edge. 2. The US launches missile strikes as planned, Iran, in a retaliatory strike, attacks Israel and possibly sends more troops into Syria. Syria also strikes back against Israel This causes Israel to attack Iran and Syria, causing the US to continue a bombardment of Syria or/until they decide to deploy troops into Syria. In Syria ground battles consist not only of SAA but Iranian military forces as well. This may or may not result in cruise missile strikes on Iran and an invasion of Iran as well. This could snowball fast.
