Oy vey. How'd it go for the last regional power that flung Scuds at Israel? And how did Syria's last war with Israel go? God help this stupidity.

Well, you know Israel isn't going to stop hitting Hezbollah in Syria. If Syria is stupid enough to fire Scuds at Israel, the Israelis will respond vigorously. It starts getting real dicey with the Russkis. If they use those S-300s in Tartus against the IAF, then all bets are off.

The Russians' testicular fortitude is the real unknown here.

You have to wonder what they might have hinted at when they delivered the Scud warning on Syria's behalf.

The Russians may be just crazy enough to stop hinting and start lobbing. Through Syria as a proxy, of course. And what a great market for their defense industries!

The Israeli missile defenses are very sophisticated so I don't think the Syrian Scuds pose that great of a threat. However, the Russian S-300s are could take down Israeli planes operating over Syria. Then the Israelis would go after the S-300 batteries. And presto, shooting war between Israeli and Russia. Everybody loses.

No doubt. I'd just prefer WW3 not start.

It took me a day to find out, but it looks like the gas used in Idlib was sarin. Does anyone know how it was delivered/released?

Good article.  Looks like Syrian regime, but conflicting reports of how intentional use or blew up chemical dump.

The Russians and Syrians are saying it was a facility that was hit but I am guessing the truth is unknown right now. I am curious if it was dispersed with artillery, aircraft...something more rudimentary/home made like the attack on the Tokyo subway, etc.

I *think* when the Syrian government did it last time it was artillery, but ISIS used a crude form to disperse the gas.  It's certainly messed up regardless of how it was done.

Not familiar with that particular site, but an airstrike I guess is as plausible as an  artillery strike.  Seriously messed up regardless.
