Does the US have ANY dog in the fight in Syria?

ANY national interest?

It was the SU-25 air cover a SU-34S which dropped down and came up behind the F-22 - with target lock perhaps - it was at that point the 22 skedaddled. I don't know about the 22s, but the Russian planes are armed fro air to air according to an them.
