#3 The Deep State is certainly agitating for this. America's Islamist headchoppers are losing in Syria and an incident of direct conflict with the RuAF would just do the trick of getting a big war started.

#4 Herb, you do realize it is a bad Photoshop. That aircraft has never flown over Syria.

America's position is pretty damn good. Trusty and sane (as one will find in the MidEast) allies controlling a quarter of the country w/ most of the postwar economic assets (oil and gas) with good access to water. Only thing better would be a stretch of coastline with a natural port.

#7 HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Worst photoshop evah!!

If we have F-22s flying in Syria, it is only above friendly territory. No need to allow their SAMs and Radar stations practice on trying to track and target it.

Although, with the S-300s there now it might be a good training run for our F-22 drivers.

#8 The Su-35 needs to adjust its tolerances on the Magic Wang Tool.
