Russia has warned the United States not to intervene militarily in Syria against forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, threatening that it may shoot down any aircraft attempting to launch strikes.
In a bluntly worded statement, a spokesman for Russia’s defense ministry warned that Russia and the Syrian government had deployed sufficient air defenses to block any potential attacks.

Sorry, but some people are attached to the land where their ancestors have lived for thousands of years. Syrians want to return to Damascus, where Christians were first known as such. The Chaldeans would like to go home to Iraq, but can’t because we ruined their country as a favor to Israel and Hallibuton.
As a country, the US needs to accept that we’re good at some things and not at all good at other things. We are good at getting rich and inventing cool things. At foreign affairs we stink.
Hillary and Obama will provoke a limited clash with Russia.
Then they”ll accuse anyone not insisting on full out War (Trump) as being anti-us. that is the plan.
it will be pure domestic electoral politics.
How the Hell did we ruin Iraq? It was a Hellhole before we got that.
You spelled Israel correctly. Usually you people don’t do that.
Nailed it!
I honestly do not recall ever hearing anything from the executive branch regarding what U.S. Federal law(s) are being executed regarding Syria. Nothing.
So, either get a declaration of war on whomever, or GTFO.
Remember when the UN intervened to protect Atlanta from Sherman’s assault on civilians? Oh that’s right. Liberals still hate Southerners for being traitors.
Ask the Chaldeans. Or the Yazidis. They will be glad to explain it to you.
"9 Avoid the defects of your country. Water shares the good and bad qualities of the beds through which it runs; people share those of the region where they are born. Some owe more than others to their mother country or city, for they were born under favorable skies. No country, not even the most refined, has ever escaped some innate defect or other, and these weaknesses are seized on by neighboring countries as defense or consolation. It is a triumph to correct, or at least dissimulate, such national faults. By doing so, you will be revered as unqiue among your people; for what is least expected is most valued. Other defects are caused by one’s lineage, condition, occupation, and by the times. If all these defects come together in one person, and no care is taken to foresee and correct them, they produce an intolerable monster."
What if the Bear is not feeling particularly limited?
Absent Israel, there is nothing in the ME worth fighting for.
We should harshly draw another line in the sand. So there!
Why are we in Syria anyway?
because Obama/Hillary’s Arab Spring was a Total Failure
great quote; thanks.
To support jihadis.
Hello? Valerie? This is Barrack. What are you going to do about this?
Okay. Let me know what Donald has to say after you speak to him.
We are in Syria to kill Christians and aid and assist the muslim takeover. Assad has given protection to Christians and he must go.
The S400 is pretty much the same as the 300 with some minimal missile guidance updates. It has yet to be tested in a real combat situation against competent pilots. It saw some duty in the Ukraine and performed decently against sub par air crews.
I believe Trump to be smart enough so it wouldn’t even get this far.
Ya got me!
