The war in Syria has sharply escalated today. Israel shot down an
Iranian drone, and then Israeli warplanes attacked targets within
Syria. One Israeli warplane was downed, apparently by Syrian
anti-aircraft fire, using weapons that may have been supplied by Iran.
In Afrin, the YPG has shot down a Turkish helicopter, killing two
pilots, and Erdogan has promised that "they will pay for this. Not in
kind, but so much more, because we are determined, and we believe we
are superior."
So that means that in a single day, an Iranian drone, a Turkish
helicopter, and an Israeli warplane were all downed, just a couple of
days since a Russian warplane was shot down, and the pilot killed.
The war in Syria appears to be escalating rapidly.
In Korea, Kim Jong-un appears to be succeeding in getting the
breathing space he needs to develop his arsenal of nuclear tipped
missiles targeting the United States. The South Koreans are euphoric
about the apparent North-South rapprochement, and now Kim has asked
South Korea's president Moon Jae-in to visit Pyongyang. If this
occurs, it will give the North several more weeks time to develop
their nuclear weapons.
