With the United States engaging in airstrikes all across Syria, there
exists the real possibility that lines of communications may become
crossed – intentionally or unintentionally – between the United States
and Russian forces, resulting in the downing of one or the other’s jets.
If that happens, the level of tensions between the two powers will be
increased to unprecedented levels, leaving open the question of whether
or not the “victim” of the incident will opt to show restraint or engage
in retaliatory measures.
Likewise with the Israeli forces that
continually launch bombing missions
in Syria, and act as air cover for death squad fighters operating on
the ground. The Israelis are notoriously provocative in their military
adventures, encouraged by the fact that they have the United States
military to back them up whenever they find themselves in trouble. Both
destabilizing and unpredictable, the Israelis always stand as a
potential trigger for dragging the United States into a war.
While the Russians are fully supportive of an Israeli (Zionist) settler
state, by supporting the Syrians against the Israeli-supported
terrorists on the ground, the Russians run the risk of an “accidental”
(or otherwise) confrontation with Israeli aircraft.
