MAJOR ESCALATION IN SYRIA: Russia Throws Down The Gauntlet
After various media rumors swirled that the Obama Administration was considering retaliatory strikes against Syrian forces responsible for the attacks in Aleppo, the Russian military has just delivered its most dire warning yet, effectively turning Syria into a no-fly zone (that is - for American aircraft):
Obama now has two choices:
1. Proceed with attacks against Assad's forces, which will result in a direct confrontation with Russia.
2. Continue to slink back thus effectively allowing Russia to win the civil war in Syria for Assad and replacing the United States with Russia as the dominant foreign power in the Middle East.
My money is that second one, the slinking back thing. Obama's good at that.
