An American intervention in Syria will come with NATO and GCC support, as those alliances are already supporting the rebels in Syria.
The intervention would very much resemble the intervention in Libya - no Western soldiers would invade Syria, but Western aircraft and ships would shoot down Syrian aircraft and destroy the Syrian air defense network, and then begin destroying Syrian tanks, artillery, command centers, and so on.
As a result, the major contributors in an intervention in Syria would be the United States, Turkey, France, the UK, Italy, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and the rest of NATO and the GCC. Aircraft would fly off carriers (so, the US and France, possibly Italy and Spain) or be based in Turkey and Cyprus, perhaps Jordan. Turkey would be the main base.
The war would not turn into a global conflict, because none of the global players would step in to protect Syria. Russia does not want Assad's government to fall, but they're not going to go out of their way to protect it - they'll complain and make some retaliatory diplomatic moves, but that's it. China won't stand in the way if Russia won't - Syria is not a strategic interest for them at all. Iran will send support to Assad and Hezbollah, but they can only do a little bit and ultimately would not risk war to support a clearly doomed government. There are a few other countries who "support" Assad (Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, etc), but none of them will do anything except complain - some loudly, some aggressively, but nothing more than words and inconsequential actions.

that is time for the different Midle East united states States to step as a lot as terrorist interest and help the U. S. and the different international locations to end this warfare. both militarily and diplomatically. i'd also opt to make certain Eygpt or Saudi Arabia, or Jordan or another united states on the brink of the Palesteinians provide up some land freely, and go away Israel on my own. at the same time as no man or woman needed Israel after WWII, Israelies got here and made it a paradise back, and agricultural boom. Now after provided that is united states status and each and each of the exertions, the encircling international locations like it back. Radical Islam is only no longer delt with by all the different international locations, yet they are going to play a section in a warfare it truly is to go back, a warfare with God, and the outcome has already been determined. yet for at present, I nevertheless believe that different midsection East powers might want to step in to interchange the U. S. because the peace keepers, otherwise foot the bill so the yank public doesn't might want to.

If you do, the 3rd world war will be only weeks away. Who is behind all these attempts to replace the last remaining secular Arab government with a bunch of lslamist terrorists? I think David Icke has the answer.

First the US dose not declare war anymore that would involve following the Constitution which no one wants to do.
Second I don't believe it would be World war III

a declaration of war comes from Congress..and Congress will NEVER declare war again...the president just "goes" to war
and NO...no one would help...Europe and NATO let the US fight all the battles and pay all the bills....because they're not idiots
