Israel just shot down a Russian plane killing 15 Russians in Syria....
Russia is still in Syria providing support for the Syrian National forces against the remaining forces of Isis and other (Al qaeda) jihadi splinter groups
In Syrian Airspace Israel is in effect acting as air support for these Jihadi's, and it is doing so with the apparent support of the US gov't
now if assad is in the wrong he is in the wrong, and the United States should just come out and say "We are going to topple assad" but we haven't and we likely won't
This stuff going on in syria has a far greater chance of creating the setting for a geo-political WW3 than any election meddling
Because we are already in the sidecar of the motorcycle with Israel and we bout to play chicken with Syria and Russia
