WASHINGTON (AP) -- National Intelligence director James Clapper says he wouldn't put it past Russia to "to shoot down an American aircraft" if a no-fly zone is imposed over Syria.

heheheh. You mean the United States doesn’t have a monopoly on declaring no-fly zones?
By what right would WE establish a no fly zone over Syria?
He says he thinks it’s possible that Russia would down a U.S. aircraft if it felt its ground forces were threatened.
Wouldn’t any country say that if they felt threatened. More war mongoring. Assad did not invite us. We have no business in Syria. We have no business arming the rebels. We have no business nation building.
obama should quietly “leave the area” Not worth losing a pilot or aircraft.
Obungo or the Hildabeast will get some crap started if it kills them. Frankly, I don’t see that we have any National issues with the Russians.
Call me crazy, but I have this sneaking suspicion that an armed confrontation with Russia does not benefit the American people at this time. A shame our leaders are too stupid to see that.
About a week ago, I believe it was Madam Hillary Benghazi idiotically ranting about wanting a "No Fly Zone" in Syria. This cuts both ways bitch!
Another large military action, this one against a higher tech enemy, is exactly what our leaders want. It would consume weaponry that would not be replaced and render the US military little more than a politically correct national police force.
Terrifying ideas are beginning to shape a new and expanded war in Syria if that woman wins.

Seeking Congresses approval would give her all the cover for a really hot war with some horrible prognostication that nukes could be in our future.
Hillary has spent a lifetime trying to out man the men and prove she’s just as good if not better than the male gender.
I think she would involve the US in an ever expanding conflict just to prove she’s a general of the first order. Remember her fairytale about being told she could not enlist?
She has a huge problem with reality and the arms industry, and her fantasy about her abilities could get us killed.
She mentioned she wanted no-fly zones over Syria in the second debate with Trump.
Cue Col Kong: “Toe to toe with the rooskies”
Clinton’s no fly zone means certain war, perhaps strategic, existential war with Russia.
Green party presidential candidate Jill Stein says Donald Trump is less scary on foreign wars, because he wants to work with Russia.
"Under Hillary Clinton, we could slide into nuclear war very quickly from her declared policy in Syria."
"I sure won't sleep well at night if Donald Trump is elected, but I sure won't sleep well at night if Hillary Clinton elected. We have another choice other than these two candidates who are both promoting lethal policies."
"On the issue of war and nuclear weapons, it is actually Hillary's policies which are much scarier than Donald Trump who does not want to go to war with Russia."
"He wants to seek modes of working together, which is the route that we need to follow not to go into confrontation and nuclear war with Russia."
James Clapper? The POS who lied to Congress about NSA surveillance and should have been prosecuted? That James Clapper?
Maybe time for the Trump campaign to resurrect the old anti-Goldwater ad.

I wouldn’t put it past Obama to escalate this “convenient” situation. Start a war, stop an election.
More like: if we establish a no fly zone, we’ll be self-obligated to shoot down any Russian jets, and the site that shot down the jet will be immediately obliterated, and probably several others preemptively. Of course, that touches of WWIII.
