HUMAN SHIELDS

From a very correct article linked to by the tweet below:

Last week, America’s top military official, General Joseph F Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Senate committee that Russia’s air support had changed everything. “The balance of forces right now are in Assad's advantage,” he said.

This is the context in which to interpret the latest, surprise move by Obama to send Special Forces into Syria. It is more about inhibiting Russian success in destroying the sundry anti-regime forces on the ground than about either “helping the fight against Islamic State” as claimed, or about misgivings of a large-scale American invasion.

And how coincidental is it that a Russian passenger plane fell out of the sky...with no distress signal?

It just went up in flames and fell almost vertically, when even if two engines failed it could have glided for miles?

Very odd...
