The U.S. is risking a catastrophic military clash with Russia in Syria.

The world's two big nuclear-armed governments are risking direct warfare. The
U.S. shot down a Syrian government jet, after which Russia threatened to shoot
down U.S. planes over Syria. Then Australia suspended its air missions over
Syria, and Russian and U.S. planes reportedly came within 5 feet of each other
over the Baltic.
This is happening while the U.S. military, which may very well have defied
then-President Obama in September by bombing Syrian troops and scuttling a
cease-fire agreement, has been given greater authority by President Trump to
proceed as it sees fit.

pull back from the brink.
Asked for a legal justification for having shot down a Syrian plane, the U.S.
military cited the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF),
which applied to al Qaeda, not Syria. Even many who accept the AUMF as
constitutional rejected the argument in this case. Regardless, Congress has no
capacity to make war legal in violation of international law. Even the U.N. has
now begun objecting to the killing of large numbers of civilians in Syria by
the U.S. and its allies, as well as by other parties to the war.
There is no legal or moral basis for the United States to be waging war in
Syria, risking nuclear apocalypse for us all.
