This situation is getting more serious by the day. There seems to be a deliberate attempt by UK media to downplay it because this on line Sun Newspaper report is the first I have seen where Russia is talking about WW111

It is also the first time I have seen a report about the Russian Nuclear drill for 4000000 people. Spherical mentioned this but I was a little skeptical at the time because I had heard nothing about it and he didn't supply any details as to where his sources came from (Apologies)

"The debate in Washington has been dominated by two polarizing camps: all-out interventionists who argue for a full-fledged American entry into the Syrian war, and minimalists, led by President Barack Obama, who argue that virtually nothing the United States does could fundamentally alter the outcome."

So far, Russia is the only force invited by the legal Syrian government.

Other forces (Turkey, USA) are invanding forces, breaking international law and supporting muslim terrorists by weapons, which makes the conflict to take more and more time.

Great point! And do you we really know why these super powers are there? It's biblical prophecy for sure, but I'd like to know what's in the details.

"Russia has deployed an advanced anti-missile system to Syria for the first time, three US officials tell Fox News, the latest indication that Moscow continues to ramp up its military operations in Syria in support of President Bashar al-Assad."

!!This is huge: Russia has fortified itself against Israel- Ezekiel 38-39 Alert!!
Column One: The New Middle East - Opinion - Jerusalem Post
"A new Syria is emerging. And with it, a new Middle East and world are presenting themselves. Our new world is not a peaceful or stable one. It is a harsh place. The new Syria is being born in the rubble of Aleppo"
"Even Israel’s ability to permit the US access to its air bases is no longer assured. Russia has deployed air assets to Syria that have canceled Israel’s regional air superiority."

New York Times to Obama: Hit Israel hard - Global Agenda - News -
"The New York Times has demanded US President Barack Obama use his last months in office to hit Israel hard diplomatically."
"Apparently, this is in response to the fact that the Israeli government "approved the construction of a new Jewish settlement in the West Bank," which is simply "another step in the steady march under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to build on land needed to create a Palestinian state.""

Suppose Russia ignored a no fly zone? Would a Russian plane be shot down and the UK end up at war with Putin ?

There is a lot of mystic around the no fly zone initiative. Kerry was calling for it immediately, but suspicions abound whether it was to protect the ISIS rebels. This thing is a tangled mess and a powder keg especially if a Russian plane gets shot down imo.

Yes the whole situation is very dangerous. I just hope that common sense will prevail and some kind of peaceful settlement is reached but I'm not very optimistic.
