What happens if Russian forces respond to US fired missiles?

Asked by funkdaddy (17777points) April 11th, 2018

Russian diplomats (and Putin) have said they will shoot down any US missiles fired at Syrian forces, and then respond by attacking the source of those missiles.

Trump has responded, saying they should get ready.

If the US does what they say their going to, and the Russian are also true to their word, what happens next? I can’t imagine the US government letting a direct attack go. Considerable forces seem to already be in the area for both sides.

How does this dissipate, or do the two countries carry out a war with one another inside a country that is already decimated?
