Putin’s going to have to strike back at us or face losing public support at home. The Russian public is quite pissed off.
Nonsense. Putin has no desire to start a war with the USA or anyone else who has the ability to hurt him. People said the same thing when Turkey shot down a Russian jet. Now, the Kurdish/SDF force trying to take Raqqa might have reason to worry, as they might serve as a proxy target. With US forces providing air support for the Kurds, that could also be too risky for Putin.
