The Pentagon warned the Syrian regime Monday it is prepared to shoot down planes threatening US-led coalition forces in northern Syria, but stopped short of declaring a no-fly zone.
US military officials reacted furiously last week after jets from the regime of President Bashar al-Assad targeted Kurdish forces and coalition advisers fighting Islamic State jihadists around the northeastern city of Hasakeh.
The US military scrambled fighters on at least two occasions to ward off the Syrian planes, but neither incident resulted in air-to-air contact.

Another Obama “red line” painted on the shifting sands of the Middle East.
And President Trump will put men back into the Pentagon and turn them loose with his blessing.
So too cops.
Well, that ought to scare the crap out of them.
So we’re in Syria, and get to call the shots?
When they called Syria, I wonder if it went straight to Putin’s voicemail ?
Another strongly worded threat from Barack Hussein? I can guess how much Assad and Putin are quaking in their boots.
The S400 says no...
So the illegal invader is threatening the country’s own government not to fly in their own airspace, eh? Audacity to say the least. O’s illegal war- making on behalf of his Islamonazi dictator and terrorist gangster comrades is gonna get us into some really deep doo doo, and he’s sure looking like he will do it before Election Day, too
What are we going to do? Throw spit balls? Why are we in this mess in the first place? To fulfill the Clinton Foundation’s promises?
Turkey is going to launch artillery strikes backed up with air vs the YPG, the pentagons “ plan B” to attack Syria ( after plan A, ISIS)
So when Turkey crosses the “red line” and kills some of our illegally inserted troops in Syria, what is obama going to do about it.
Oh wait. Lie, blame it in Assad and Putin, , and start a new war
“. . to fulfill the Clinton Foundations promises?”
Exactly, and line that creepy Sid Blumenthals purse,
Coalition? What coalition? Did I miss a UN security council vote? did I miss a congressional authorization of force?
This is a rabble of jihadi banditti, with Americans mixed in to declare a no fly zone so we can continue our evil work. Its crap to put our men there to work FOR the jihadi side, and to act as human shields. That’s all they are.
US warns Syrian regime not to fly near coalition troops or else.
By what authority are our military forces in Syria? The only legitimate government in Syria is the Assad regime, and the only outside force that Assad has invited into Syria is Russia. It is hard for me to believe how things have flipped so completely in just three decades. We used to defend legitimate governments against subversive invaders; now we are the subversive invaders toppling legitimate governments. It’s a world turned upside down.
I don't got to show you no steenkin' Security Council badge!
You mention the only legitimate government in Syria. Assad’s government still sits in the UN as the only official representative.
We cant get them out of their UN seat, and now we are attacking their government. Our aggression is out of control. This is a war to overthrow the Syrian government disguised as an anti ISIS operation.
How ‘bout warning the Syrian refugihadis not to get to close to American citizens.
And our special forces are being used as human shields.
Will the white house and pentagon follow this up with a sternly worded tweet? They must be shaking in their boots right now!
