I think Russia will be retaliating with a major force attack? Just a gut feeling.

OP
You really think the Russians are going to outright attack the United States? No I don't think so.

The Russian military would be hopelessly outmatched in a direct military confrontation.

Grid attack.
It won't be bombs. The American people will suffer.

Statement by the Ambassador Antonov on the strikes on #Syria:
A pre-designed scenario is being implemented. Again, we are being threatened. We warned that such actions will not be left without consequences.
All responsibility for them rests with Washington, London and Paris.

They are not a strong offensive power via conventional forces. If put on the defense, they are a very formidable foe.
I expect they will use cyber or other means to retaliate or just engage in hardening up Syria.
