So the Israeli jets allegedly used the Russian spy plane as a shield against Syrian anti-aircraft missiles and Russia is blaming the Jews Isn't 22 miles, international waters?

The Jews always get the blame. What was the Rusky doing there in the first place? Officers lives matter! | |||

This! If this really is what happened, props to the Izzys for being resourceful! Syria should have “known their target.” | |||

When your own ally shoots your plane down - how can you blame anyone but them ?? (or yourself - for not notifying them...) ------------------ SBrooks | |||

^^^ What is it the Europeans call it? An "own goal" or something? Ah, yes. Israel admits to running a couple of hundred raids into Syria and loses one plane, while France does it often enough that it doesn't excite comment and has lost no planes that anyone's heard of. But apparently Russian missiles in the hands of Russian allies are good enough to take out a Russian civilian airplane with military markings full of Russian spies. I believe the technically appropriate response is BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! | |||

From the little I've read the Israeli F-16 that got shot down was due to a couple things happening: 1. Instead of diving, it either went up or stayed at altitude too long 2. There were apparently 20 anti-aircraft missiles fired at the Israelis

And, don't sell your best missile system to someone who might shoot at you. Somebody at IAF is probably still laughing right now. | |||

Dont laugh too hard, US Army Patriot batteries shot down 1 x US F-18 and 1 x RAF Tornado, with the 3 crew killed. It took a USAF F-16CJ HARMing the offending Patriot battery to stop the “friendly fire”. | |||

It helps Russia's case that the Israelis are so, so good at whacking people and then holding a press conference where all they say is "Who, me?" in their most unconvincing manner while laughing up their sleeves. It has gotten them an aura of "John Wick Babayaga" whenever someone gets killed that they don't like. The Russians are going to use it as an excuse to step up their involvement. Here's hoping that doesn't mean missile strikes inside Israel. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

Spying. And I don't see much to complain about. The Russian plane could have "pushed" back. And, more importantly, the Syrians pulled the trigger. They were shooting at the Israelis and missed; that is still the Syrians' actions. It was an "own goal." The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

FWIW, Israel just came out recently and admitted to over 200 strikes in Syria over the last two years. And the Russians still haven't backtracked on their decision to keep the Syrians from attacking Idlib. We shall see, we shall see. | |||

Imagine an all out "final assault" in Tampa-St. Pete to root out an insurgent force. It would be much like that. "the meaning of life, is to give life meaning" ✡ Ani Yehudi אני יהודי Le'olam lo shuv לעולם לא שוב! | |||
