Anyway, no worries. Hillary has pledged to impose a no-fly zone over Syria should she be elected president. Such a move would obviously be meant to target Russia.That should calm things down.
Oh...wait. That would make things worse, much worse. Funny how no MSM commentator has noticed that.
Just watch these a-hole “leaders” start a nuclear war. Great...just great.
Directly confronting Russia over Syria, when they have been invited by the government of that country and we are the interlopers, is a genuinely bad idea.
We do not want to start WWIII.
Could be that the Kenyanesian Usurper does.
Courtesy of Traitorobama, get ready for WWIII.
ZH is, well, exaggerating.
The warmongering is probably just impatience at the pace of which America’s military is being neutered.
Fighting Third Worlders doesn’t destroy the military fast enough, so a war with someone presumably higher tech and proficient is desired. The attrition of American military strength will not be replaced.
and just what the hell are UK military jets doing in Syria???
We are living in an Alice in Wonderland world. Obama/Kerry & Clinton is pushing towards an open conflict with Russia -over what? An internecin conflict between different shades of radical Islamists (Sunnis and Shi’ites) in Syria.
And yet it is Donald Trump who is considered to be the “loose cannon” when it comes to foreign policy!
Go figure!
“By God, we’re gonna stop Trump from winning the White House.
Even if we have to trigger Armageddon to do it!”
“if they are endangered by them”
Pro-Putin mouthpiece Zerohedge buries the lede that this is only authorization to shoot back if the Russians start something.

The RAF and the USAF have no business in Syria (aside from helping Qatar build a natural gas pipeline across Syria).
This is what happens when corrupt political establishments rob a nation of its wealth and the people rise up in response:
They start a war.
America is 20 trillion in debt, no economic growth and no hope for it.
The people have discovered that the elites have screwed them and are electing an outsider.
War.
ALAS, BABYLON!......................
They can’t even protect little English girls from sex trafficking by Mohammedans in Rotherham, et al., but they are willing to make Syria safe for ISIS.
General Jack D. Ripper: I shouldn’t tell you this, Mandrake, but you’re a good officer and you have a right to know. It looks like we’re in a shooting war.
Group Captain Lionel Mandrake: Oh, hell. Are the Russians involved, sir?
Yes. The media will surely ask Hillary about it. /sarc
Why in the hell are we trying to overthrow the government of Syria. The Russians at there at the request of the Syrian Government. IMHO we have no business being there except to eradicate ISIS.
“This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.”
- Admiral Josh Painter in “The Hunt for Red October”
Not only that, but Obama now can use this “problem” with the Russians for his own purposes: Hillary has already blamed the Russkies for interfering in the election via Wikileaks, and not-so-subtly hinted that they’re trying to commit fraud via electronic means at the ballot boxes (yeah, the old pot calling the kettle black game). Well, if Hillary loses, Obama can blame the Russians, and with the lawsuits that are INEVITABLE over the election results plus that, Obama has THE perfect opening to declare a state of emergency. When their are riots, and especially some violence with semi-auto rifles involved, he’ll use that as an excuse to try to confiscate them. Bottom line, he can easily use the Syrian situation and the election to stay in power (or, at least, he can try).
We are DEFINITELY living in interesting times. Best to not come to the attention of those in power during these times.
We will be lucky to survive.
Oh my God! How can anyone be so stupid? Syria is a bust. Walk away from it. It D@mn sure isn't worth starting a War with Russia over it.
Is the PM out of her mind? During the height of the Cold War orders like this were rare and issued only in the face of real threats to national security or interest. How the hell does who rules Syria meet either?
