The developing political situation in Syria for (probable) use of chemical weapons. President Trump said we have some smart missiles, expect them soon. Which isn't very smart.
Jordan and Russia say they will shoot them down. And attack the launch site if possible. That could be a sub.
Iran and Turkey will probably throw in their lot with Russia.
I've been covering many conflicts over many years, and this one is the most complicated by far. It's been visceral and brutal. I recall Assad dropping chlorine on Homs. He's been doing it for years.
If these missile strikes actually occur, they could be interpreted as an act of war.
Things have the potential to go worryingly bad in not much time. Are we actually ready for that?
