That she doesn't care who wins in Syria as long as they're rich and hung like one of Charles polo ponies.
Based on recent behaviour I wouldn't put it past the Russian air farce to try and provoke a crisis e.g. flying in Turkish airspace, flying in international passenger jet flight paths without transponders on etc. Russia knows that if one of its jets does get shot down it can just act like the wronged party and get its state controlled media to create FUD over the facts and its useful idiots will believe them e.g. like they did over the downing of MH-17 in Ukraine.
Sure in this country before our pilots could fire on an 'enemy' plane would we not need a full judicial inquiry? Followed by the participants having time to counteract any claims made against them. Then the report would need a full parliamentary debate with conclusions on a white paper being produced some 5+ years from instigation of the inquiry, of course that all hinges on whether a chairman of said inquiry can be appointed who is acceptable to both sides.
So I cannot see WW3 coming any time soon, might be a bit of finger wagging or tut tutting meantime but rest easy in your beds fellow forumites, life goes on as normal.

I suspect you'll find a lot of these commentators are part of Russians paid PR army. Any site that has a Russian article will see a flood of commentators parroting the Putin narrative.

Of course it could just be the case that the average Joe isn't buying the Wests "Russia is bad" propaganda when they see them blowing up ISIS and also islamist fighters that would have been called al qaeda a few years ago.
Are Russia heroes for helping Assad? No of course not. But they are just protecting their interests and at the same time wiping out the islamist fanatical scum.
The west have only one goal in the region and that is regime change. That is why they are pretending to seriously attack ISIS. They don't want to defeat them just yet as they are useful in trying to overthrow Assad.
Something the BBC will never mention is that Assad is actually popular with the majority of the Syrian population. The majority of Syrians don't want Syria changed from a secular country into a fanatical islamist country. So what the west is doing is actually working against what the majority of Syrian's want.
The west are the bad guys in this situation. If you can look past the BBC and MSM medias propaganda it is clear to see.

It's easy money for a few hours work
Do you think I am being paid to support Russia's actions? If not then it stands to reason that there are many others who agree with my view that Russia are not the enemy in this situation.
It's called clickbait, they don't have a story so they make one up to generate traffic.
If you read it, it basically consists of one paragraph/sentence saying the RAF are allowed to return fire if fired upon, then the rest of the article is scaremongering.

And now I have the theme from Top Gun stuck in my head.....wonderful.
In all fairness a GR4 Tornado that comes under fire from an Su-30MKI probably isn't going to be returning fire lol.
Better call Kenny Loggins, because you're in the Danger Zone!

I think you're supporting Russia's actions because you hate Britain to the extent that the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
Is that why Islamic State made significant gains in Syria over the weekend?

No I am supporting Russia's actions because they are actually trying to restore order in Syria as apposed to the West who are trying to overthrow Assad and have him replaced with.....? Just look at Libya or Iraq for a potential answer. But nice try with the ad hominem.
Islamic State made gains did they?
Even the BBC are painting a different story. Seems Russia's involvement is producing good results.

I'm getting really tired of the 'Evil Russia helping the Butcher Assad' narrative.
Do you think our government would do anything differently in the event of an armed uprising in the UK? UK, US and co. are getting bootyblasted about this because they wanted Syria to fall like Libya but it's all gone pear-shaped.
You can't look at this as goodies vs. baddies, it's power plays from all sides and the only losers are the people of Syria.

Plenty of info in the main thread:

The only reason Assad didn't crush the rebels long ago was the US involvement. He is actually quite popular and liked by most (or at least much preferred to the rebels/ISIS), in fact the biggest complaint about him before all this kicked off was that he was too soft lol.
Is that the same BBC you call Britain Biased Corporation?
Nothing in that article suggests that Islamic State are being pushed back from their new positions gained over the weekend.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/10/w...in-hamedani-iran-general-killed-in-syria.html
