No one can shoot down cruise missiles... Especially when dozens of them are fired together on the same target...

Yup say goodbye to the platform that launched them.

Unless they are launched from a submarine, or from aircrafts flying in a allied air space close enough from the target, Cruise missiles do not need to be guided, they are robots, not drones, dear Russian troll...

If you think this not going to be all out war your delusional.Every US aircraft carrier and warships are monitored by Russia and China

Who cares, dear Russian Troll? There are enough allied air spaces around Syria for Air forces to launch dozens of cruise missiles close enough to the target. No need at all to enter the Syrian air space. I guess Putin-the-Butcher won't bomb Saoudia or Turkey to retaliate. No?

I don’t recall Putin saying he would only retaliate to aggressors over Syrian air space.

The point is "Aircrafts do not need a platform to operate." They can use something like 200 airfields in allied countries of this aera to take off, climb to the near Syrian border, launch their missiles and being back home even before the missiles hit the target.

That better be the only thing they do. If they attack US military, that is an attack on NATO. An attack on one member of NATO is an attack on all of NATO.

Not if its out of the NATO area and whilst US planes are doing the attacking

"Not if its out of the NATO area" You don't know what you are talking about.

How about America stand down? We, I'm American, are the ones acting aggressively and war mongering in other countries territories. We have no business in Syria. Russia has been a Syrian ally since forever and has had a base in Syria since 1971. They were invited.

Please, swarm eastern Europe within hours.

Russian GDP $1.8 trillion NATO GDP $30 trillion Russian defence spending $70nln NATO defence spending $1 trillion US alone $590 bln. Yeah. Please. Try and 'swarm'
