I fully expect Trump will use tactical nuclear weapons in Syria within 3 months of taking office.

The rest of the world will never, ever forgive us.

If he uses them (and honestly it’s still a big if) it won’t be in Syria, it’ll be against hardened underground enrichment facilities in Iran after attempts to tear up and renegotiate the nuclear treaty fail. I’ve been saying for awhile that one of the easiest ways for him to engineer a needed distraction by way of crisis and reward Putin at the same time is to start a shooting war that closes off the Straight of Hormuz. That would spike oil prices enormously overnight, which is the one thing Putin wants more than a lifting of the US sanctions against Russia.
