So i just read that Israel started bombing Syria.
Those that are actually aware of what this means, also know that it's possible that a larger scale war breaks out soon enough...
Whatever the case may be, what are your thoughts of this mess?

After reading more into it, I highly doubt the war will spill into Israel.
You made it seem like Israel went into a somewhat full-scale air bombing raid into Syria or something.
When in reality, it was a warning motor attack that didn't even kill anybody, after an accidental motor shell landed near an Israeli military fort. Which, wasn't even planned to hit Israel either.
Though, there is a quite big chance that Israel might be drawn into the war, on the other hand, I just don't think it will happen.

One fact here. it is nearly impossible to miss a target when shooting a mortar or when throwing a bomb off a plane.

It can still happen though, and Israel did recognize it was an accident.

Turkey also bombed them. It could turn regional, but NATO will win even if Russia/China support Syria. China has a less technological military, all they have are numbers. Russia would be a threat, if we didn't out number them on every level. Basically, They can support Syria all they like. If it comes down to it, NATO will win.

there is zero chance that china or russia would fight against nato in the middle east, even though they may have opposing views as to what is happening. All that would happen is they would launch a protest at the UN and nothing more.

Agreed.
Syria isn't that much big of a deal to the two nations. It would be like fighting over a pencil. China nor Russia would waste materials on that little toy.
Though, Syria does get a lot of their arms from Russia, and with Syria becoming under new control, who would cancel that, Russia would loose money and obviously support Syria's current government, but they'd only go so far.

China is way smarter than to just fall in so big a war (if russia gets involved).
Its highly probable they'll just drop back and let the americans and whoever else kill each other.
By the way, 3 dead by bombing thingy today in Israel.
May i guess it was also an accident, shadowstar?

If you gave me a link about that situtation, then I could form an opinion. You're just saying 3 people died by bombings. How did it happen? Was it an air bomb or mortor shell? Did Syria actually intend to do it? Were the Rebels responsible? How did Israel react?
All this is needed information. Just saying 3 people died from bombings is so vague.
