Saber rattling between the US and Russia over Syria increases...

Thanks to William for the link!


News blast...
*RUSSIA: ANY UNIDENTIFIED OBJECTS IN SYRIA MAY BE TARGETED: RIA

Between many interventionist politicians in the US talking about "no-fly" zones and the establishment of safe havens in Syria...and now this announcement from Russia, the risk of an accident is increasing.

I can't tell if this is merely posturing or national moves before a flare up.  I do think this is becoming interesting again.  A backwater fight against a fictional enemy (ISIS) that should have been destroyed in months is turning into a super power stand off.

How could they have so mismanaged both the message and the fight?  Its obvious that the fight has been all about removing Assad.  With that no longer being a possibility, why is this fiction continuing?
