2500 of those troops are marines aboard the Iwo who were sent into the region during the Israel v Hamas bout in case we needed to evact Americans in Israel.
An aircraft carrier carries a crew of ~5000 sailors (not grunts) and they sail into that region on a regular basis.
We also keep handful of ships in the eastern Mediterranean full time as part of our missile defense network.
I’m not saying we won’t get involved but this sounds like typical RT bullshit.

Yeah he just uses Drones instead of ground invasions.
That so much more liberal than ground invasions. *sarcasm*
Active drone warfare during Obama's reign:
Libya
Yemen
Pakistan
Somalia (some other African countries as well, forgot who though).
He is also planning on drone strikes and drone bases in:
Philippines (Islamic terrorists are the next target).
Australia (largest drone base on earth to confront China in the future).
So... So... So... LIBERAL!!
Most likely, he's even said it himself, I mean sure he could be talking bs but I doubt it.
I doubt he will use them though but if he does use them on civies I'm pretty sure most of the world will call for some sort of intervention. Probably something in line with Lybia.
The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...
There wont be any NATO ground troops in syria if syria does decide to use chemical weapons
But the full force of NATO airpower will be unleashed on syria and Assad wont know what hit him just like what happened in Libya
If i was Assad i would start packing for exile in South America right now before he gets a JDAM for christmas down his fucking chimney!
If America goes "OMG AMURICA STAY OUT OF OTHER COUNTRIES BZNS" If American doesn't go "OMG AMURICA, WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING PEOPLE ARE DYING! AMURICA IS EVIL"
Wow <3 Korra<3 Giants<3
Saddam has WMDS. Change Saddam with Assad and WMDS with chemical weps new lie done. Americans are so gullible to fall for the same lies over and over again.
And many European nations have used chemical weapons of some sort as well as not being particular concerned with hitting civilian targets. Times change, but the fact that your comment about nukes has nothing to do with whether or not intervention is warranted is irrelevant dribble will always be the case.

Fuckin' seriously.
We spend an obscene amount of money trying to "help" foreign countries and the american taxpayers don't get a damn thing back for their investment. Can you just imagine if we spent all that money on NASA instead? Or didn't spend it at all, and cut taxes?
meh let them sort it out. All the crying about US intervention, we should just sit this one out and let the "tough guys" handle their business. Then when they are facing annihilation they come on bended knee and beg for our help. Screw them and the rest of the people that think like them. I just want to ask them one thing....Hows it feel when Americans actually don't intervene now?
Cheese. Its amazing. Until your feet smell like it.
French are also apparently preparing to seize chemical stockpiles. http://www.lepoint.fr/chroniqueurs-d...1539285_53.php
