Feel like you're trying to shove square pegs into round holes on this one.

Syria responding with a nuclear option to American incursions is about as unheard of as North Korea threatening nuclear options in response to sanctions.

You're welcome to your theory and I'm not going to shit on it but at this point, your original question was "So, is Biden actually in control of the Military?" and I have yet to see anything from the horses mouth that suggests that he is even regarding this event but I have seen the usual trickery in MSM reporting which I mentioned previously - which is all gong and no dinner thus far.

The only question that really matters is "Why does nobody know what Trump is doing and how come we see and hear nothing about him given his immense popularity / infamy?".

You want to entertain a hypothetical? Maybe because nobody is allowed to for one reason or another.
