kills you. You get out, bend the knee and kiss the ring(which might happen to be
Robert Kraft's) and it can be send a more powerful message when people see you unwilling to risk anything after that point.

Right. Which gets to my original point that the most plausible theory seems incredibly likely.
As for false flag by "The West", why is mostly some pointless diplomatic penalties? It fails just like the Syrian conspiracy fails:
1) Obama sees Assad move chemical weapons around
2) Establishes red line, says if they get used, Murica can deploy a full blown intervention.
3) A false flag is set up by the rebels
4) Murica doesn't deploy a full blown intervention because ?????
For why "The West" doesn't want war with Russia there is obviously this(though now I suspect loons itt might jump to some Saudi hit job conspiracy):
