I would join you on "cooler heads prevail" hope: reportedly 100 to 600 "private" Russian fighters were killed by US forces in Syria on Feb, 7. It was the first direct military conflict between US and Russia (USSR) since Korean war:

which led to Putin's funny "animation" speech about possible nuclear attack on US:

I was "lucky" to watch this speech real time and was especially impressed to see standing ovation when animation showed Russian nuclear rockets hitting Florida. Russian commentators stressed that this is where Trump's residence located.
