Greetings ikalugin. We here in the USA this morning were told that the people fighting in this area where the Russian Jet was shot down were not ISIS fighters but the Anti ASAD fighters being supported by the USA and others in the West.
The problem with this conflict is that the USA supports the guys in Syria who want to topple President Assad in Syria and I'm told that Russia in there to support Assad and his people.
But that Russia and the USA and France and others in the West are all wanting to destroy the ISIS fighters.
I just hope that this conflict does not lead to more fighting. it's bad enough already.
We all need to take a few steps back and take a deep breath and hope that this situation in Syria and the entire Middle East calms down.
I've got to get ready to go to work now so I'll not be able to discuss this anymore right now. I don't get into this forum very often anymore. But I thought I would pop into this forum today and see what the other side of the world was saying about this situation in Syria. I pray that it deescalates soon.
