The Russian and U.S. air forces held a joint practice for crews and ground services in case their aircraft in Syria come dangerously close, said Col. Gen. Andrei Kartapolov, the head of the Main Operative Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces General Staff.

Cooperation with U.S. colleagues is developing successfully as part of interaction with the international anti-terror coalition and the regional countries, aimed at preventing air incidents to ensure safety above Syria, Kartapolov said.

this is IMPOSSIBLE when two sides are fighting for opposing forces.

Russia will continue to target jihadi garbage that we support and we will continue to arm said garbage to fight Russia, inevitably.

We are supporting muslims coming in from countries like Saudi Arabia, which took down my beautiful towers.

We are on the wrong side of history in this battle.

I hate my president

Reports are Israel who is bombing the heck out of Iranina backed Hezbollah units in Syria is soon going to be sharing intelligence with Russia.

Honestly I can not for the life of me figure out what the hell is going on.

Hollywood could not come up with as many plot twists as displayed in this conflict.

Unless..well we are all being played.

It is insane the number of countries involved in this theatre.

I dont think we’re being played.

Israel can no longer trust us. I wouldn’t be surprised if they now consider us an enemy.

Russia will turn a blind eye away from Israel protecting itself.

They have too much to deal with in Syria.

They are not supporting the proxy wars of iran, IMHO.

Turkey should be kicked out of NATO. They have helped ISIS tremendously and have watched battle from a fighting distance while doing nothing.

we are there supporting jihadia and Turkey, where we recently sent a number of fighter jets.

I hope Russia and Israel kill as many muslims as possible.

but what happens when Russia accidentally kills one of our men in Syria??? there are 50 now.

They better.

Better still would be for us to get the hell out of the way and kill ISIS as Russia chases them into Iraq.

Problem is this...

Turkey just started bombing the Kurds now in not just Syria but this morning Iraq.

China wants a piece of Iraq/Iran defense budget and soon will be entering the fray.

Israel is looking to partner for protection now since the USA has become hostile but honestly..what each country is fighting for has no common denominator. That means HELL

American military human shields for Isis are still targets no matter how much hand holding is reported.
