Kerry is singlehandedly bottling all the good arguments for Syrian intervention
Depends on what is meant by the question of whether Russia will get involved or not. Will they take any direct military action against the U.S.? No. Will they assist Assad? Well, they've already answered that in a sense, so, yes. But to the people worried about a big "dust-up" (or even WWIII) should we decide to intervene (which we will)... Calm down. Nothing truly major will come of this, at least not in the short-term. I think the worry here is future-oriented and focused more heavily on the perception of America and our credibility in international politics. To some, we would be - rightly or wrongly - reinforcing the perception of America as an imperialist nation; psychological adjustments in perception can, and likely will, result in damage further down the road, but not immediately.
all of the above.so who benefits from this war? Us? Israel? Saudi Arabia? Qtar? Syrian people?
luxembourg, latvia, comoros islands
define future and short term that you are using in this situation
When I say "short-term," I'm speaking mainly of immediate reactionary responses. The future I'm speaking of is at least 10-15 years out, but more likely somewhere between 20-40 years. Most things in politics aren't as spontaneous as some people believe; most major events are gradual buildups from years or decades past. I think this is one of those triggering events that could start the ball rolling on future complications and conflicts, but I don't think it's the immediate "powder keg" people are making it out to be.
