Russia's Defense Ministry said on Monday it would view as targets any flying objects over Syria in the areas of the country where its air forces operate, Russian news agencies reported.
The statement followed after a U.S. warplane shot down a Syrian army jet on Sunday in the southern Raqqa countryside, with Washington saying the jet had dropped bombs near U.S.-backed forces and Damascus saying the plane was downed while flying a mission against Islamic State militants.

The Defense Ministry also said that it was suspending its interaction with the United States on preventing air incidents over Syria from June 19, the agencies reported.

BREAKING: Russia says it will treat US-led coalition planes in Syria, west of the Euphrates, as targets after US downed Syrian jet.
including birds?
Why have we not yet stopped supporting McCain’s Jihadis?
War with Mars commences in 3 ... 2 ...
We shot down one of their allies planes, in their airspace.
If that happened in Turkey, the war drums would be beating by now.
Sad thing is I doubt anyone is thinking that.
Why have we not yet stopped supporting McCain’s Jihadis?
I always knew when the choice between Putin and Trump came that Putin’s Kremlin loving useful idiots would scurry home to fascist Russia.
Trump is not told everything by people with a vested interest in keeping us supporting Jihadis. The Deep State is not called that for no reason.
The useful idiots are the people who support jihadis up until the point they run into a US shopping mall during Christmas yelling “Allahu Akbar” and blow up shoppers.
Be sure to message me when a Russian wearing a suicide vest blows himself up in an American shopping mall.
Interesting commentary on Twitter
“ That awkward moment when the US downs a Syrian jet attacking ISIS and calls it ‘ self defense’ “
I thought we were going to bomb the hell out of ISIS. I thought we were not going for regime change is Syria.
Trump needs to take away some of the liberties he has given Mattis. It appears he is serving the deep state.
ARE WE SUPPORTING ISIS? ‘Enquiring’ minds want to know!
From his lips to God’s ear.
>>Trump needs to take away some of the liberties he has given Mattis. It appears he is serving the deep state.

My “alarms” went off when McInsane wholeheartedly supported him.
Correction: they can try...
Amazing, isn't it? There are no good sides in Syria yet we still wind up supporting the wrong side.
The Deep State wants war with Russia rally bad. Trump better call these guys in and put a stop to this.
This is one way to hurt Trump to the quick. Guys are out there dying all over the place and we need definition on the mission, who the enemies are.
I don’t want this forever in Afghanistan either. The Russians got out for a reason.
Reading between the spotty battle reports a picture is emerging that our focus has turned from attacking ISIS and liberating Raqqa to preventing the Syrian government and its allies from attacking ISIS and liberating Raqqa
The Russians and Iranians are on to our game and are not willing to cooperate in “ ceasefires” and “ humanitarian evacuations” that provide cover for us to allow Islamist radical fighters to relocate and regroup
I’m afraid its looking like Trump has sold out from his campaign common sense or is being played by the Generals to whom he turned over military authority- their decisions are not tactical, but strategic and could lead to the neocon’s wet dream of Russia downing a US aircraft over Syria
Remember the Maine!
This is serious s**t. Putin has a huge set of balls and has no problem killing dissidents within his own country, let alone our zoomies.
He has now drawn a “red line” in the sand/air, and Putin is the type to enforce it, as opposed to the wimp Obama.
