Will Putin and Trump start a nuclear war?

[Many Coins]

Trump promised to hit the Russians in Syria with smart missiles.

Do you think that if Putin responds by destroying the US missile cruiser, will the exchange of nuclear strikes begin?

Is this the new Caribbean crisis?

American missiles are not capable of avoiding the S-400 ant-missile system set up by Russia in Syria. So most probably Trump will never carry out his threat. If he fires a missile and it gets intercepted by S-400, then it is going to be huge embarrassment for the Americans.

America has more than 7000 Tomahawk cruise missiles. Russia does not even have so many anti-missiles.

And that's not the point.

I consider a normal military situation when a blow is struck on the source of the missiles. And not just an interception.

If you are bombed - you will not shoot down the bombs. You will destroy the bomber. Is not it?

And if anybody launch missiles on you, you will strike at the source of the missiles. This is common practice.

Heт. Beдь Tpaмп, кoнeчнo жe нe coвceм aдeквaтный, нo нe нa cтoлькo чтoб paзвязaть 3ю миpoвyю вoйнy. Зapядoв xвaтит нecкoлькo paз yничтoжить вce живoe нa зeмлe. Плюc aмepикaнцы oчeнь чyвcтвитeльны к пoтepям, a oни бyдyт вecьмa нe мaлeнькиe. Этo нe Ливия, Иpaк и тд.

To what "losses"? Trump will simply strike with missiles. America has many thousands of obsolete missiles, which must either be used or recycled. To recycle is more expensive than using. Here is the answer.

I want to believe that such world politicians as Putin and Trump will not exchange rocket attacks otherwise the third world war will begin, which will destroy not only these two countries, but the entire planet.

It is getting closer. Russia is full of vengeance. Is looking any good chance to enter a war.
US would not wan't a full fledged war on any condition. No US youth would volunteer for war this time.
But with Trump's stupidity and Putin's cunnigness, we might not know.

It really would be a shame if we went to war to fight on the side of isis once again. People that think Assad would gas innocent civilians once the war is all but won after repeated warning from the international community have been seriously misinformed. This would be suicidal for them to gas civilian again after they have retook the majority of the country back from the butchers we call isis.

Russia is full of vengeance.

This is propaganda  The most productive part of Russians do not care about Putin and Trump, spit on their disassembly among themselves. I know the mood in Russia quite well. Many will not volunteer too.

Assad - it's just a boy to beat)) He could easily be accused of eating children)))

Both Russia and US are willing always to keep their population (and the worldwide population) highly scared. This is a traditional-manipulation implemented since the beginning of the 20th century. If you have a scared population, they will accept almost anything of your politics, even senseless expenses or some misery in determined areas of their countries.
The US looks at itself as the world rulers, the same than Russia. They are not. They can't just start a great war, at least not in their territory. Look where they fight each other: in territories as Siria, considered lower by them, and where the control of the region really matters (Siria is one of the most strategic points of oil circulation).

Honestly, I don't think they are going to start a nuclear war. This kind of politics has been having a place for almost a century by now (the so-called Cold War). And it results to be really useful for those governments having control over their own people and the worldwide. If everybody is scared of a nuclear war, they will receive all the focus, even from other countries.

Orwell style: keep the population with fear, just made up an enemy, and they will follow your leadership 'till the end; they will believe anything you say; they will accept any regulation, even when it is against their freedom...

russia doesn't have the firepower to shoot down every american missile, it needs to shoot down aircraft and sink ships to stop the aggression

That's the thing! And America in response will hit Russia. And it will begin ...

Hmmm... Like in "1984" by Orwell?

Maybe you are right!

I do not think there will be war between the two countries. The United States seemed to be willing to cool down as Trump repeatedly slammed down attack Syria
