| [JPost] "We urge Russian forces in Syria to cease this reckless behavior and adhere to the standards of behavior expected of a professional air force," said Air Force Lt. Gen. Alex Grynkewich. In recent days reports have emerged that Russia is increasing its aggressive behavior against US unmanned aerial vehicles in Syria. Essentially, this is an outgrowth of Russia’s decision to increase its aggressive behavior across Syria when it comes to harassing US forces and aircraft. The US generally operates in eastern Syria, however, Russia has now decided to intercept US drones that fly over northwest Syria, an area Turkey occupies. |

| #3 I am for peace in Ukraine. It looks like a stalemate to me with a heavy forecast of dead people and wasted money - at least have of it ours. Because I favor neither side, I tend to tick off everyone. Here is another opinion that will dutifully annoy the maximum number of people. Bozos like Lindsey have implied or said that the US is providing critical intelligence to Ukraine. I find it moronic that we would claim that Russia eliminating our intelligence assets is unprofessional. Yes, I understand that, in this case, the unmanned intelligence asset is in Syria, several hours of flight time away from the other conflict. |

| #2 There is that 'sovereignty' thing. The government of Syria has not signed a treaty with the US so they have the same right to shoot down our drones as the US had to shoot down the Chinese balloon. If they ask the Russians to do the deed that is between the Putin and Assad. |

| #1 Lindsey Graham has declared war on Russia. Why should they not down our drones? |
