There’s absolutely no reason for this “incident” to get this out of hand.

Well it is getting out of hand, which is exactly why so many of us feel this move by Trump was reckless and dangerous.

I suspect the report of the comm channel being cut is bullshit. Never trust the Russians at face value, but they are also not dummies. They will flex their muscles and ratchet things up, BUT they will not remove the channel that prevents an accidental direct conflict with the US.

I must respectfully disagree. If this report is real (and not just kabuki theater), then the chances of a US - Russian accident over the skies of Syria has just greatly increased.

Must such an accident lead to war? Of course not. But wars have started over less.
