Russia - Syria will trigger WW3

We are very rapidly approaching a conflict the likes of which the world has not seen since the 1940's and this one is highly likely to go nuclear very early.  Tactical (Battlefield) nukes absolutely, positively, WILL be used.  There is no avoiding it.

Syria has always been a military ally of Russia.  Russia has a deep water port in Syria which is important to the Russian Navy.  When it became clear to Russia that Syria was going to fall to the Rebels backed by america, Russia announced they were coming to the aid of their ally, at the request of Syria and with its permission.

Saving Assad is emerging as a key facet of Russia’s Middle East strategy. By propping up one of the region’s most vilified leaders, Moscow is sending a powerful message about its willingness to act aggressively in a region where many of America’s closest allies are feeling insecure — and questioning Washington’s commitment to have their backs in the future.
