ISIS claim responsibility for Russia plane crash in Sinai, Egypt | World | News | Daily Express

Heartbreaking photographs show the mangled wreckage of the doomed airliner and the personal possessions of its passengers strewn across the desert floor.
Egyptian Prime Minister Sherif Ismail visited the scene this afternoon, at one point being shown the plane's black box recorder by rescue teams.
ISIS jihadis insist they took down the airliner, but this evening it was claimed that its co-pilot had complained to family that the aircraft's condition "left much to be desired" shortly before the doomed flight took off.

How stupid! Even sworn enemies will band together, temporarily, to wipe a common threat off the face of the Earth.

By boat, plane, car or train, I would not go to the Middle East.

Unless I'm in a weaponized satellite, of course.

They will witness the power of my fully operational battle station.

ISIS had nothing to do with it...
USA and RUSSIA are in a secrete war right now... ISIS is taking the fall for political reasons...
Look at Syria, and what Russia said to the USA about 2 weeks ago... Russia said they would shoot down any american plane in that airspace.
USA retaliates with shooting down a Russian plane in Egypt...

What would the United States have to gain from shooting down a Russian airliner full of civilians?

What would russia have to gain for telling America that they will be shot down if they fly near Syria...

What america has to gain is to show Russia that they are not backing down, that they are not cowering towards Russia....
The same reason why USA has gone against Putins warnings, and the USA is increasing its long range missile capability.

Russia would gain necessary tactical airspace working toward a strategy of keeping a client state afloat and further indebted as well as a favorable position in the region in which the Bear's strength and close proximity are contrasted with America's distance and lack of resolve.

The United States gains nothing comparable by shooting down a Russian airliner. It doesn't show regional supremacy...it just makes the US look like a bad guy to those in the know.

I'll admit the absurd happens, but this is really stretching it.

Really? So lets put your response in lames terms and shorten it...

Russia would gain a strategic country with a favorable position to increasing and maintaining Russia's superiority.

Okay so yes that is what Russia gains...
So what are Americas choices?
1 they can contest Russia and say "no we will shoot you down", which starts a public war...
2 they withdraw, which makes them look week...


HMMMMM still finding it hard to see how USA regains its face by shooting down a Russian plane? in "USA" owned territory?

America has other choices. For example, set up a no-fly zone for Russian military craft but not shoot down civilian aircraft because that is an absurd thing to do.

Explain to me how they set up a no fly zone for Russia Military craft???
Please explain to me any other choices...

It might sound absurd, but what I have said is the only logical conclusion...
