NO GOOD Russian Missiles HIT Iran - Syrian Crisis

The New York Times: Reports " Russian Missiles Aimed at Syria Crashed in Iran, U.S. Officials Say "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians can not even shoot straight, as noted in my previous post the major worry would be if a Russian missile either hit a NATO Country, that being Turkey or hit a US/Western plane.   The Russians if they want to play macho man should least have decent missiles that go to the target.    It seems that Russian have not spend their oil dollars so getting decent Army gear and it shows.   One can almost see the next breaking news being, " Russian missile hits Western target ", the US in the shape of President Obama really needs to man up and take Putin down a beg,  otherwise someone on either side could create another Cuban Missile Crisis.   If you allow Putin to play he will push and push, and at stome point the West will have to act. 

The Threat to the Russian homefront - US Secretary of Defence

Guardian: Reports " Russia will pay price for Syrian airstrikes, says US defence secretary..Ashton Carter predicts reprisal attacks on Russian soil after Vladimir Putin’s military campaign to prop up Bashar al-Assad’s regime  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians will hit the roof if Daesh attacks the Russian homeland, there has been a history of terrorists attacks in Russia, the Russians would increase their presence in Syria if Russia itself is hit.   There has to be a way of  working out a deal between Russia and the West, the West will have to wait for the head of Assad, on the other hand the Russians would make everyone happy if they just hit Daesh, the airstrikes of groups supported by the West is causing more tension than there needs to be, the Russians have to take their claws back in and do a back channel deal with the West.    As stated the Syrian crisis could get out of hand fast. 

NATO and Russia - Syrian Crisis

BBC News: Reports " Nato has renewed assurances to defend allies in view of the "escalation of Russian military activities" in Syria, the alliance's secretary-general says. "

Lets Get Real:

It only takes one mistake for the crisis is Syria to become a NATO crisis and thus a crisis between the US and Russia.   The idea one has to assume from Moscow is that they have a theory that when it comes right down to it, President Obama will never push back, this of course allows for the Russians to push to far, the accidental incursion in to the air space of Turkey, the firing of cruise missiles, what happens if a missile misses and attacks Turkey by accident, or the Russians shoot down a Western plane by accident.   At some point the West has to fight back and push the Russian bear back, better to early than to late, as JFK said during the Cuban Missile Crisis, there is always some SOB down the line that did not get the word.
