    Russia can evaporate half the world in half an hour — anytime they decide — so we have to step lightly as possible around them in Syria.

    Maybe our fighters could shadow Russian fighter bombers delivering bombs on civilians — taking pictures, not interfering. Make never-before-style international uproar — could shame them out of it — their own people couldn’t fail to learn of it.

    Talk about bringing the war into your living room. How about your adversary bringing the war into everybody’s living room?

    In Afghanistan we gave the mujahedin shoulder fired AA to shoot down Russian helos. Why should Russians get any more provoked in Syria, much further from home — much less naturally their territory — only Syrian helos anyway?
