Awww, shaddup, Pootie Poot.
Shoot at our men on the ground and your airplane is gonna get shot down.
Russia is in Syria legally and with the permission of their treaty ally Syria.
The US is there because we’re trying to help Qatar and Saudi Arabia to build a gas pipeline to Europe across Syria. The strategic purpose of that pipeline is to harm Russia economically.
Syria said no to the plan and after they said no then all of the sudden the Obama Administration and John McCain decided that they had to arm the Islamic fundamentalists (who later became ISIS) so they could overthrow Assad and make way for the pipeline.
We destabilized one of the few stable Arab countries just so we could play economic chess with Russia.
And now the Russians are absolutely going to shoot back and I do not blame them one bit. The USA is 100% wrong in Syria. We created ISIS and now we’re using ISIS as a pretext to continue an undeclared war of aggression against a sovereign country that did us no harm and that was no threat to us or Israel.
I love our armed forces (I’m married to a Marine) but if they attack Russians or Russian allied then the result will be predictable.
We would not tolerate it if Russia were supporting a civil war in the United Kingdom or Israel and bombing government positions and shooting down their airplanes, would we?
Then why should Russia do any different?
