So, let me get this straight. The US takes out a Syrian Airforce jet, and now RUSSIA is basically imposing a "No Fly Zone" on the US over Syria.
I'm wondering why the US shot that plane out of the sky in the first place.
The no fly zone already exists, it is called Syrian sovereignty. Russia is in Syria legally fighting ISIS and Al Qaeda, America is committing acts of war against Syria and Russia has an obligation to defend them.
It would be like Russia taking down Israeli jets attacking ISIS in Israel.
Here we will also see Trump's true colors, either he is with the Neo-cons or against them, America has no right to be attacking the Syrian army and it can lead to the next World War.

The US like a mangy dog holding on to a bone, just can’t accept a defeat in their fascist plot to destroy 7 Mideast countries that has been derailed by the Russian intervention in Syria to aid the Assad regime in the 7 year war in Syria
And it's becoming far too obvious to the world outside of the US. Everyone knows Iran is next, and it continues. And there's no reason other than money. Destabilize and try to cash in. The military industrial complex.
I watch CNN far too much, but I see them referring to so many countries as enemies.
If only the people reporting the "news entertainment" could see how America is looking like.
They really shouldn't be in Syria, fighting forces that are also fighting ISIS
Their NOT ever going to report fairly or truthfully because the CIA runs and controls the US media.
That's NOT hyperbole its FACT!

There's actually some confusion. One translation says they will track coalition aircraft with SAMs, other translations say they will escort coalition aircraft.

According to the news reports, the Syrian plane was dropping bombs on one of the rebel groups supported by the US (so a US ally). The US, through the "anti-conflict" channels set up for these purposes, informed the Russians that these were "friendlies" that the Syrian jet was engaging and asked them to back off.
They didn't, and they got whacked...
Do you have any idea who these rebel fighters the US were protecting?

Get Russia and USA the heck out of the Middle-East!
How would you feel if China and India were fighting a proxy-war in your backyard?

No, Trump tried to make deals with the Russians and they played Trump for a fool. Imagine that...

We need some more 'leakers' to show us the transcripts of the phone calls between Putin and Trump before the election. Then you would have at least something in the way of proof.

Bring it, we'd knock Russia out of the sky in an air war. The only thing they have more of are tanks, not good enough.

Oh for pities sake.
Could we not rely on the leaders of the world to keep their metaphorical phalluses inside their trousers for just a few years at a stretch? Is that too much to bloody well a----
